Summary: The Mediterranean sea is where Europe, Asia, and Africa all meet.<br> <br> Throughout the ages, empires ruled over its entire coastline, and people used it to transfer goods, for recreation purposes, or to harvest its many food items.<br> <br> Today along its shores there are more than 20 countries. No longer a single empire - but rather a Mosaic of People, as was described by Waterline’s guest in this episode.<br> <br> Konstantina Toli, a Senior Programme Officer at Global Water Partnership - Mediterranean, points out the great challenges that are presented as our world is changing - namely climate change and the refugee's crisis. <br> For example, in the past 5 years, nearly 2,000,000 human beings risked their lives in search of a better life and used the treacherous Mediterranean route.<br> The result - the stresses on water supplies in the region which were already quite significant, are constantly on the rise.
