The Near East is one of the most water scarce regions in the world. Water resources were mobilized only recently. There was a rapid irrigation development but also problematic sharing of the water resources leading to political tension and mobilizing the international community. This document describes the efforts carried out by the French cooperation from 1993 to 2007 through the Regional Mission for Water and Agriculture (MREA). The originality of the approach, based on action research , in contact with the field, is described here with concrete cases: support for the upgrading of the Jordan Valley Irrigation system, improving distribution at plot level, economic value of food production, wastewater reuse in Gaza and water balance at basin level. An assessment of the Mission completed by a Rapid Appraisal Procedure of FAO had confirmed that a margin of progress is possible in the management of irrigation and has suggested ways for local partners (NGOs and universitie s) to carry out these efforts of modernization.
