he Middle East – North Africa (MENA) Region is one of the most waterless areas on Earth. The hydrology of arid regions will be most affected by climate change since the accelerating hydrological cycle will decrease scarce water resources of these regions. The MENA Region faces water challenges and possible solutions that are quite unique in comparison to the rest of the world.

The conference aims at providing an opportunity for hydrologists, climatologists, meteorologists, and decision makers to exchange their ideas, research results and concerns on climate change and its impacts, adaptation and mitigation in the water sector regarding the sensitivity, importance and the role of water resources management on sustainable development in the MENA region.
