Prof. Michael Scoullos Chairman, GWP-Med Promoting alternative water sources in urban areas and islands   GWP  Consulting Partners Meeting 2010 Stockholm,  3 -4  September  2010
Fig. 1.  Mean rainrates over Mediterranean Basin from January 1998–July 2007  (Mehta & Yang, 2008) Rain Rate (mm/day) Water is a   rare  and   fragile  resource in the Mediterranean . The  Mediterranean climate is typified by an enormous   irregularity in the distribution of rainfall in  space  and   time .
Greece is a typical Mediterranean country, with  unbalanced rainfall , where integrated water management systems are still either deficient or absent. Management efforts are concentrating on the implementation of  provisions   of the Water Framework Directive. There are parts of the country that are under severe water stress, such as numerous islands of the Aegean Sea.   Annual mean precipitation values (in mm H2O)   Cycladic Islands
