Within the scope of the activities of CO-MICC, researchers from the University of Le Mans organised a two-day methodology workshop in cooperation with the partners from the three Maghreb countries (Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia), held at the university of Le Mans, France.
This workshop aimed at getting to know the researchers and the fields of research for the years to come as well as working with a common methodology. The interviews of the stakeholders in charge of freshwater catchments in the selected basins were presented. A survey method based on the specific nature of the basins studied was discussed.
Scientists from Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco presented results from their focus catchments. Colleagues from the ESO laboratory participated as well and contributed their expertise to the scientific discussions.
A synthesis of the work has been implemented for using a common methodology, considering special characteristics depending on the territory and based on activities in the workshop. We were able to discuss and adopt a method for performing tests in the selected sites in Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco.
