Water, Investment and Innovation in the Mediterranean

Water management is first and foremost a political issue...

Water is a vital issue for the Med region Improved water management implies

technical innovation but also financial, institutional and governance changes!

Water must be at the top of political agendas

Main guiding principles From water supply to water demand

management: priority 1 of the Mediterranean Water Forum launched in Dec. 2011

A right water price… A move toward the green economy and more

sustainable investments

Water is a very capital intensive sector: large companies are dominant SMEs are mostly involved in the manufacture and/or distribution of

water equipments

A few recommendations: Assessing the real cost of water

and cost of business as usual scenario Plan Bleu: 25% of water demand could

be saved by 2025 Charting Our Water Future, Economic frame-

works to inform decision-making, 2030 Water Resources Group/ McKinsey, 2009

Adopting precise and measurable targets and indicators about water allocation and water consumption

Ensuring economic viability of projects: the “3Ts” approach (OECD) Taxes, Tariffs and Transfers (ODA): 3 financial sources of water investment Achieving a sustainable cost recovery from a combination of these financial

sources: user charges, public budgets and ODA

Water should be taken into consideration in all economic development strategies (water consumption of tourism resorts, virtual water in agriculture and other industrial activities, etc.)

How to foster water investment?
