Data set Documentation
Abstract
This dataset consists of the underlying data of the following paper: D. Frascari et al., Integrated technological and management solutions for wastewater treatment and efficient agricultural reuse in Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia. Submitted to Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management. In particular: 
•	file MADFORWATER_WP7_ResearchProjectsOverview_20170915.csv corresponds to Table 1 in the article and it contains an overview of the on-going and recently completed research projects on water stress analysis, water treatment and water management in Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia. 
•	file MADFORWATER_WP7_TargetWaterStressedBasins_20170915.csv corresponds to Table 3 in the article and it contains date related to water stressed basins/sub-basins specifically targeted by MADFORWATER.
•	file MADFORWATER_WP7_PartnersExpertise_20170915.csv corresponds to Table 4 in the article and it contains the information about MADFORWATER partners’ expertise.

File specifics
To create the .csv files, “LibreOffice Calc” version: 5.1.4.2 (portable) was used, with the following specifics:
•	Character set Europa occidentale (Windows-1252/WinLatin1)
•	Field delimiter « , » (comma)
•	Text delimiter  « “ » (quotes)
Notes 
•	MADFORWATER_WP7_ResearchProjectsOverview_20170915.csv: data search was extended to projects that started in 2008 at the earliest. Moreover, the search was extended not only to the projects that include Egypt, Morocco or Tunisia (or hydrological basins located in these countries) in their abstract or partner list, but also to the projects aimed at developing water treatment technologies or water management tools with a focus either on the entire African continent or on African contexts characterized by elements of similarity with the Egyptian, Moroccan or Tunisian ones
•	MADFORWATER_WP7_TargetWaterStressedBasins_20170915.csv: as regards Egypt, given the huge extension of the Nile basin, the activities will focus on the North Eastern Delta sub-basin.
•	MADFORWATER_WP7_PartnersExpertise_20170915.csv: partners’ names are indicated by acronym, according to the following legend.
