The communication is aimed at presenting main goals and indicators deliberated by a forum of two multi-stakeholder groups involved in an open discourse on water saving. The forum has also addressed linking agricultural water management to improving sustainable development in the Mediterranean. One of the main concerns is that multi-stakeholder groups tend to achieve consensus and deliver a disordered set of goals-indicators and scarcely aligned to the imperatives of sustainability. To overcome the problem, the use of existing tools can help the structuring of goals-indicators encompassing the integration of social, economic, environmental and institutional dimensions. In the same time it helps to align them within a common vision and perspective. In this view, the note intends to synthesize and structure the headings derived from multi-stakeholder mainstreaming on agricultural water saving goals and indicators.
