INTERNATIONAL INITIATIVE ON TRANSBOUNDARY AQUIFERS MANAGEMENT
(IHP-ISARM Project)
HQs Paris, 4 - 7 June 2012. IHP/IC-XX/
The Intergovernmental Council of the International Hydrological Programme of UNESCO,
Recalling Resolution XIV-12 adopted at the 14th session of the IHP Council, Paris, 5-10 June 2000, and Resolution XIX-9 adopted at the 19th session of the IHP Council, Paris, 5-9 July 2012, which are the basis of the IHP International Initiative on Internationally Shared Aquifers Management (ISARM), Also recalling the UN General Assembly Resolution A/RES/63/124 (11 December 2008), which appreciated the valuable scientific assistance on the topic of the management of transboundary aquifers rendered by IHP to the United Nations International Law Commission, Noting the UN General Assembly Resolution A/RES/66/104 (9 December 2011), which encourages IHP to offer further scientific and technical assistance to Member States, Recognizing the important contribution provided by IHP in conducting the world wide inventory of transboundary aquifers of the world and in improving the scientific knowledge in support of their management, Encourages Member States to cooperate on the study of their transboundary aquifers; Requests the IHP Secretariat to: (i) support Member States in promoting studies in regard to transboundary aquifers in the framework of the existing IHP ISARM initiative; and (ii) continue studies on transboundary aquifers and assist interested Member States in their studies of transboundary aquifers resources management including by promoting capacity building and awareness raising activities on existing instruments and discussions.
Previous StepsSeveral workshop organized in 2007 , 2009, 2011 by UNESCO and UNECE • Experts highlighted the need to improve the training for
professional hydrogeologists
• Experts expressed their strong desire and interest in having a multidisciplinary groundwater project which will help countries in these challenging and difficult issues, focused on the following:
• (i) Strengthening the capacity of countries on groundwater resources assessment, management, policy, technical aspects and information monitoring and exchange across borders;
• (ii) Utilization of subsurface space in order to address Climate Change, surface water flows and environmental hazards;
• (iii) Dialogue among stakeholders and raising awareness of decision makers on groundwater governance and policy;
• (iv) Elements on conflict prevention of the UNESCO “From Potential Conflict to Cooperation Potential” Programme (PCCP).
• (v) as well as at raising public awareness and promoting dialogue between the countries in transboundary aquifers management
Following the request from Membe
r States, UNESCO IHP will :
• Involve experts in the UNESCO IHP programme on groundwater resources
• Start preparation of several projects and case studies in Central Asia.
• Improve national and regional capacity on the assessment and management of groundwater resources and transboundary aquifers
• Strengthen cooperation at regional level
UNESCO IHP ACTION ON GROUNDWATER
• UNESCO follow up of the recommendations of Member States at the 20th Session Intergovernmental Council of the International Hydrological Programme (IHP) UNESCO Headquarters Paris, 4 - 7 June 2012.
• IHP BUREAU SESSION-JUNE 2013 –focus on Central Asia

Enabling countries of the transboundary Syr Darya Basin to make sustainable use of their groundwater potential and subsurface space with consideration to climate variability and change.
Regional Project:
Countries:Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,
Tajikistan
Executing Agency: UNESCO
UNESCO IHP
To create the regional and national enabling environment for climate resilient, sustainable, conjunctive
use of surface and groundwater resources in the Syr Darya Basin
REGIONAL Syr Darya Project Objective:
UNESCO IHP
The Project Concept (PIF) was approved by the GEF Council during its meeting in June 2013. Council also approved a small preparation grant (PPG) for the full development of the project design.

Executed by UNESCO IHP
Objectives:• improve the knowledge on national
groundwater resources• recognition of the importance and
vulnerability of transboundary aquifer resources,
• improve cooperation between countries • and • establish cross-border dialogue and
cooperation
CASE STUDIES
Three case study TBAs within the global TWAP framework:
i. The Esquipulas-Ocotepeque-Citalá (Trifinio) Aquifer (El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras) – IUCN as main partner
ii. The Stampriet Aquifer (Namibia, Botswana, South Africa)
iii. The Pretashkent Aquifer (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan)
CASE STUDIES
TRIFINIO AQUIFER (600 Km2)(EL SALVADOR, GUATEMALA, HONDURAS)
• Unconfined multi-layer system linked to surface drainage
• Depth: 20 to 150m• Alluvial sediments
overlying fractured volcanic rocks
Used for drinking water (50%), irrigation (40%) and Industry (10%)
• Loss of recharge due to deforestation and urbanization• Contamination from
industry and domestic sources• Over-exploitation
STAMPRIET AQUIFER (100,000 Km2) BOTSWANA, NAMIBIA, SOUTH AFRICA
THE THREE TRANSBOUNDARY AQUIFERS PROPOSED FOR THE PROJECT
• Confined Karoo sediments, overlain by unconfined Kalahari clastics
• Partly artesianRecharge area
Brackish waters
Main water source in Namibia for drinking, agriculture, mining industry
In Botswana used for stock and game watering and villages
In South Africa used for farms, game reserve and stock watering
• Leakages from artesian Karoo into unconfined upper Kalahari clastics
• Growing needs of mining industry
• Climate variability and change
THE PROJECT “GROUNDWATER RESOURCES GOVERNANCE IN TRANSBOUNDARY AQUIFERS”GOALS AND EXPECTED OUTCOMES
REGIONAL LEVEL ENHANCED COOPERATION COUNTRIES COOPERATE AND IMPLEMENT PRIORITY
ACTIONS FOR THE PROTECTION AND MANAGEMENT OF THE AQUIFER.
PRETASHKENT CASE STUDIES GOALS:
NATIONAL LEVEL COUNTRIES IMPROVE THEIR KNOWLEDGE ON NATIONAL
GROUNDWATER RESOURCES AND ON THEIR TRANSBOUNDARY AQUIFERS,
BUILT AN EXAMPLE ON MANAGEMENT THE GW- RESOURCE, HOW TO ENHANCE NATIONAL WATER SECURITY AND TO IMPROVE OVERALL ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY.
CASE STUDIES OUTPUTS
STUDY - Assessment of the 3 aquifers representative of different environmental and socio-economic conditions,
Information Management Systems programs in each project aquifer
National and regional seminars
Multi-country Consultative Meetings in the three project aquifers
Proposal and Recommendations for Harmonized monitoring
Assessment of the hydrogeological, environmental, socio‐economic conditions, legal and institutional frameworks, including the identification of transboundary concerns (diagnostic analysis)
facilitate cooperation mechanisms among countries sharing the aquifers.

ACTIONS National Experts study of the set of indicators prepared by
UNESCO National Experts review of indicators and final decision on
adopted set of indicators, National Experts -Data Collection (tailored upon the
adopted set of indicators) on: Climate and hydrology; Hydrogeology; Subsurface Geology; Environmental conditions (quality/quantity); Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems; Socio-economic dimensions; Gender issues; Governance: stakeholders, existing policy instruments, regulations and laws, customary practices, existing management practices including monitoring. Data will include already existing information, and newly collected data through direct measurements, remote sensing, and questionnaires.
National Experts - Application of indicators, and conduct of the Assessment and Diagnostic Analysis with a view to the identification of areas of concern, both national and transboundary, their causes and possible corrective measures.
