The Information Management System (IMS) is designed to collect, store, visualize, and share structured information to support transboundary groundwater governance. It focuses on interpreted data rather than raw data, facilitating the creation of thematic maps, tabular data, and visuals. The system will provide a public view of point, vector, and polygon data, alongside technical assistance and guidelines for national experts and regional coordinators. This collaborative effort aims to enhance decision-making and transboundary cooperation in groundwater management.
