Mediterranean Basin Water Atlas

Throughout the ages, water, one of the primordial elements of nature, has been a catalyst for civilization in the Mediterranean world. Today, it remains a factor of vital importance in development; however, certain Mediterranean basin regions are confronted by poverty and inequality resulting from the partition of natural water resources. This atlas shows in maps and figures, the extreme diversity of these resources, the specific needs of Mediterranean countries and the impacts of water usage on the environment.Margat, Jean is the author of 'Mediterranean Basin Water Atlas', published 2004 under ISBN 9789231039638 and ISBN 9231039636.
