Notes

  1. 1.

    National Water plans are not the same as national water strategies, but the review of the related literature has put in evidence that in practice, they are often treated as similar concepts.

  2. 2.

    Most of the data represented in Fig. 2.2 refer to the year 2014.

  3. 3.

    Annual exploitable water potential estimated at: 110 Km3.

  4. 4.

    Feddan is a unit of area used in Egypt where 1 feddan corresponds to 0.42 hectares.

  5. 5.

    Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 of 19 January 2009, establishing common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers, amending Regulations (EC) No 1290/2005, (EC) No 247/2006, (EC) No 378/2007 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003.

  6. 6.

    In Spain the Ministry of Agriculture was also the Ministry of the Environment and could therefore fall within both categories.
