Climate change is substantially affecting the Eastern Mediterranean region that is already facing serious water scarcity issues. The need for professionals in the water sector with a science-based background but also knowledgeable with innovative and applicable management methods and tools adapted to the region is very evident. Emphasis was given on developing a master’s program for Palestine and Jordan, although the new master’s could easily be utilized to train professionals from the neighboring countries. Water management can be a complicated issue because of the many interested stakeholders. This is why the new courses provide a holistic approach considering all views before finalizing the optimum solutions. In addition, the courses train in new technologies, methodologies and frameworks and how they can be incorporated in water resources management plans. The end result was eight new courses. These courses can be taught in a blended matter because they are placed on a virtual learning platform. The establishment of the portal fills a missing gap for the region since it provides distance learning opportunities for students in rural areas. Overall, the future professionals that graduate from this program will have the skillset to promote and enhance sustainable water management in the region and be attractive to the private and public water sector.
