Description of the action and its effectivenessDescription of the action and its effectivenessWADIS-MAR Overall and specific objectivesWADIS-MAR Overall and specific objectives
General objective– to improve living standards of the rural population – to combat water scarcity/drought and overexploitation– to mitigate ongoing desertification processes in the framework of
climate change
Specific objectives– to increase water availability through artificial aquifer recharge and
evapotranspiration reduction– to enhance water quality by reducing pollution caused by
unsustainable farm practices– to manage flood flow, run-off and hence reduce erosion– to promote water efficient farming systems and the use of more
stress-tolerant crops– To promote best agricultural practices

Strengths and how to improve Weaknesses and how to improve
Robust and flexible structures Regular and good maintenance
Accumulation of sediments Desilting
Efficient structures Regular and good maintenance
They can not be fully exploited by the farmers Change regulations
Expensive, cost not affordable by normal farmers Continue subsidising by the government.
