Extreme hydrological events have always been a challenge to societies. There is growing evidence that hydrological extremes have already become more severe in some regions. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is characterized as one of the world’s most water-scarce and dry regions; with a high dependency on climate-sensitive agriculture. There is an urgent need for capacity building programs that prepare water professionals and community to deal with the expected hydrological changes and extremes. The most successful capacity building programs are the country driven ones which involve a wide range of national stakeholders, have a high degree of in-country ownership and have an applicability character. The method of choice to set up such capacity building programs will be through blended learning. Keywords: Hydrological Change, water scarcity, capacity building, elearning, Blended learning
