  abstract = {{T}he {M}editerranean basin has been identified as one of the world's most vulnerable regions to climatic and anthropogenic changes. {A} methodology accounting for the basin specific conditions is developed to assess the current and future water stress state of this region. {T}he medium-term evolution of water stress is investigated using climatic scenarios and a water-use scenario based on efficiency improvements following the recommendations of the {M}editerranean {S}trategy for {S}ustainable {D}evelopment. {C}urrently, the southern and eastern rims are experiencing high to severe water stress. {B}y the 2050 horizon, a 30-50% decline in freshwater resources is simulated over most of the {M}editerranean basin. {W}hile total water withdrawals would stabilize, or even decrease (10-40%), in several northern catchments, they would double in southern and eastern catchments. {T}hese changes should significantly increase water stress over the {M}editerranean basin and exacerbate the disparities between rims.},
