1 New data to update the models: After the stakeholders workshop Third Management Board Meeting Gumpoldskirchen May 2006

2 INTRODUCTION - Stakeholders workshop was organised at the CNT, the 3rd of May 2006 with the IRMCo collaboration - 18 \ 26 institutions were present - 29 stakeholders+11 from CNT 40 participants

4 Programme Presentations ONAS OPTIMA project IRMCo objectives in the workshop Melian case study: RRM and WRM models Round tables 03 round tables

5 Round table 1: State of the Water Ressources in Basin Discuss the issues questionnaires RESULTS: Problem statement for melian Basin - Water management in the basin is very complex because of the multitude of stakeholders involved in water issues - The rainfall in the Melian basin is low (450mm) - Water supply is very dependent on the external importations of water -Discharge of Untreated wastewater (from sabkhat Sijoumi) into the Melian basin is causing pollution into marine environment -Groundwater is overexploited (150%), this situation lead to deterioration of the groundwater quality (salinity)

6 Round table 2: Diagnostics of the water ressources - Present the topological model of the melian basin - Make a critical review of the current model outputs Results 1.- Water Demand

9 Round table 3: Alternative water management scenarios Compare the performance of baseline scenario Results 1.- water scenarios - Reduce the water exploitation of the groundwater -Create of a new treatment plant in the area, to exploit the treated water for irrigation - Management of sabkhat sijoumi by ONAS -The groundwater quantity by artificial recharge coming from surface water (15Mm3) that is not exploited now

Values assigned to a set of performances indicators Round table 3: Alternative water management scenarios

11 CONCLUSION -We constitute a steering committee with 7 stakeholders INRGREF, CRDA, DGRE, UTAP, DG ACTA, ANPE - Meeting every 3 months - Give us the data missed and issues questionnaires -Work on economic evaluation, optimisation, water technology, water quality)
