Book (series)Systematic index of international water resources treaties, declarations, acts and cases, by basin Vol. II 1984
Also available in:
No results found.In 1978 the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) published a Systematic Index of International Water Resources Treaties, Declarations, Acts and Cases by Basin (Legislative Study No. 15). The Index covered some 2000 international legal instruments the earliest dating from the year 805 and the most recent 1977. It was designed to complement the specialized documentation produced by the United Nations system of organizations in the field of international water resources law. The methodology followed in the preparation of this publication is the same as that followed in the preparation of the 1978 publication. Accordingly, the material compiled has been organized chronologically and tabulated with an indication, for each instrument, of the substance covered and of the water bodies, territories and basins concerned, together with the source of reference and any relevant remarks and annotations. The material compiled covers the period from the year 1648 to-date. In addition, Annexes have been included to provide for the identification of those legal instruments by basin, by country and by region. A detailed explanation of the mode in which this research was carried out and how the tabulated information is to be read is given in the Explanatory Note which follows. -
ProjectGEF/SLOVENIA: Reducing Water Pollution in the Danube Basin - Project Preparation
Report N. 3 - April 2003
2003Also available in:
No results found.Within the framework of the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR) and the GEF Strategic Partnership on the Danube/Black Sea Basin, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), in co-operation with the Global Environment Facility (GEF), is proposing the creation of a new Credit Facility in Slovenia. The primary objective of the Facility will be the reduction of nutrient load in the Danube river basin but it will also finance reductions in other wa ter pollutants, primarily toxic substances. The main focus will be on industries, small and mid-sized municipalities, and large livestock farms to reduce their impact on surface and groundwater. The Facility will build on the work of the Slovenian government to meet the highest European environmental standards, and on the basinwide efforts of ICPDR and other GEF projects. It will contribute to the implementation of these policies by bringing in new investment financing, channelled by local comme rcial banks to the private and municipal sectors, and softened with GEF grant funding. The implementation of the Credit Facility will be facilitated by a Technical Assistance component. Within the GEF International Waters Focal Area, the innovative element of the project is a design that is based on a partnership between financial intermediaries and private enterprises to disburse financial resources aiming at reducing water pollution. The project will focus on Slovenia but aims at creating a re plicable model that could subsequently be implemented in other Danube basin countries. A US$ 9 million GEF grant will be blended with a US$ 45 million EBRD loan to support the Credit Facility which will be on-lent to commercial banks that will in turn channel loans in response to client demand. An additional US$ 0.907 million of GEF funding, supported by US$ 0.842 million of co-financing, will be used to support technical assistance activities. -
Book (stand-alone)Water accounting in the Awash River Basin
WaPOR water accounting reports
2020Also available in:
No results found.This report provides the water accounting study for Awash River basin in Ethiopia carried out by IHE-Delft using the Water Productivity (WaPOR) data portal of the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO). The Awash River Basin is the most utilized river basin in Ethiopia hosting most of the industrial activities in the country, a number of small to large scale irrigation schemes and the main population centres of the country with more than 18.6 million people (2017 estimate). The basin faces high water stress during the peak of the irrigation season and frequent flooding in rainy seasons. The Water Accounting Plus (WA+) system designed by IHE Delft with its partners FAO and IWMI has been applied to gain full insights into the state of the water resources in the basin for the period 2009 to 2018. The WA+ framework is a reporting mechanism for water flows, fluxes and stocks that are summarized by means of WA+ sheets. The role of land use and land cover on producing and consuming water is described explicitly.
