While the EU FP6 project MELIA (Mediterranean dialogue on integrated water management) is coming to an end Stephan Lutter presented project idea and selected results at the Symposium for European Freshwater Sciences (SEFS 2011) from June 27th to 29th in Girona Spain. In his presentation Mr. Lutter focussed on the topic of the right choice of a set of indicators for water management in the Mediterranean region.

The MELIA project will end in August 2011. The effort to set up a dialogue between scientists, policy makers and the general public has been successful; however, there is still a lot to do, and the consortium compromised itself to use the momentum created in and by the MELIA project to take another step towards sustainable water management in the Mediterranean region.
