The stakeholders have agreed to create a User Association. Early next year, a meeting will be organized with the farmers to set up a timetable and to discuss an internal chart for the Association with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture.
It was also agreed to open the dialogue between stakeholders at governorate level, and prepare recommendations in line with the national policies that are already encouraging the reuse, and support reducing the pressure on domestic water.
