Even among the 15 Member States af the European Union, there are not two having the same institutional set-up for managing their water resaurces. But yet, among all this diversity, there are some cammon features that are present in virtually all cases. It is as though some basic functions or roles need to be guaranteed in spite of the myriad of ways that are adopted to achieve them. The EUROWATER research project was an attempt to contribute to a better understanding of water issues in Europe, and seeking scientific results on the comparative analysis of the institutional systems of five selected countries, namely France, Germany, the Netherlands, Partugal and the United Kingdom. A brief description af the methodalogy adopted by EUROWATER is presented in this paper. The selection of cauntries, and the specific topics addressed in each country and at an European level are presented and justified. The two directions along which the research effort has been conducted, leading ta the preparation of the Vertical and the Horizantal Reports, are shortly discussed. WATER 21, a new project that can be samehow considered as the follow up af EUROWATER, is also briefly presented.
