Tensions over water supply for EU agriculture are increasing
Tensions are rising over water supply for agriculture in the EU. Activists propose rainwater harvesting and floating solar panels as alternatives to 'mega-basins'.
They also question the water-intensive agricultural export model, calling for a shift to more sustainable practices. An ancient Spanish court, the Tribunal de les Aigües, offers a potential solution to global water conflicts.
This 1,000-year-old court in Valencia manages scarce water resources through democratic representation and public hearings. Similar models, such as the waterschappen in the Netherlands and Bali's subak system, provide lessons for addressing water scarcity worldwide.
Palestinian hydrologist Abdelrahman Al Tamimi suggests adapting the Tribunal of Waters model to resolve water conflicts in the Middle East.
