  1. topic 3.1: “Basin Management and Transboundary Cooperation”. Operational tools • Long term basin management plan • Crucial role of political will and funding on long term basis for a sustainable development action plan • Shared vision for integrated management of transboundary surface and groundwaters : based on inventory of potential transboundary issues for reasonable, equitable, optimum use of waters in the context of climate change • Specificity of transboundary aquifers :aquifers very rarely correspond to one basin - some of them are in region where there is no surface water . Harmonise methodologies, classify TBA according typology. • Set attainable objectives, focusing on priority areas with strong stakeholder participation • Develop scenario • Involve main users and polluters, Focus on benefit trading rather than trading water to meet social, economic, and ecosystem demands

  2. topic 3.1: “Basin Management and Transboundary Cooperation”. Operational tools • Legal and institutional instruments • First step : inventarization of issues then transboundary river agreeement/treaty • Specific legal and operational tools to be developped for transboundary aquifers • International Commission as a Platform for dialogue and negotiation towards dispute resolution and compromise • Mechanisms for collaborative decision making : focus on critical issues first, pilot sites involving all countries of basin, stakeholders at all stages • Create trust at level of politics and stakeholders • external involvement may be counterproductive, when not solicited by the countries involved • Crucial role of political will and funding on long term basis for a sustainable development plan

  3. topic 3.1: “Basin Management and Transboundary Cooperation”. Operational tools • Basin Information System • Concern surface and groundwater, socioeconomic indicators…cartoraphic site on internet • Homogeneous monitoring network • Support planning and decision making • assess effectiveness of policies and action plans • Facilitate stakeholders and public information and participation • Develop standard methods, common references and data bases • Reliable and comparable data

  4. topic 3.1: “Basin Management and Transboundary Cooperation”. Operational tools • Medium term basin action plan and investment programmes • Define priorities and agree on testing pilot sites • Analyse cost-effectiveness of proposed actions • Evaluate costs and identify implementing organisation • Non structural measures are also cost effective

  5. topic 3.1: “Basin Management and Transboundary Cooperation”. Operational tools • Basin financial resources and funding mechanisms are crucial questions: governance • Financial decisions are initially taken by the countries of the basin, ODA bring additional financial contribution to national public and private resources • Establishing sustainable funding mechanism on long term basis is a crucial point : public and private sectors • Water pricing and User-polluter-payer principles
