On 17th and 18th July 2024, the Jucar River Basin Authority will host the 2nd Regional Training Course on the UNESCO Course on Conjunctive Management of Surface and Groundwater, framed within the Child Project 2.1 of the UNESCO MEDProgramme.

The Mediterranean Network of Basin Organisations (MENBO) was entrusted by UNESCO with the organisation and development of a training course addressing component 2 of the mentioned Project, “Management of Coastal Aquifers and Related Ecosystems”.

Following up on the interest expressed by the participating countries, it was decided to organize a second regional training course focusing on the governance and policies related to conjunctive management and addressing governance.
