13 FRIEND Flow Regimes from International Experimental Network Data A global hydrological research programme

14 FRIEND : a global project

15 IFI International Flood Initiative /Programme IIASA

16 Internationally Shared / Transboundary Aquifer Resources Management ISARM 39 transboundary aquifers inventoried in Africa Many countries and large urban conglomerations in Africa depend to a major extent or entirely on groundwater and the large shared aquifer resources represent often the only source for drought security and life sustenance of large populations in semi-arid areas

17 UNESCO GRAPHIC Groundwater Resources Assessment under the Pressures of Humanity and Climate Change

18 GRAPHIC Case studies (existing and potential )

19 Some key objectives: Improved understanding of hydrological systems and water management needs in arid and semi-arid areas Sharing of data and exchange of experience at regional and global scale and strengthening of global networks Capacity building of individuals and institutions and dissemination of understanding to users and the public

20 ISI International Sediment Initiative Objectives: encourage international cooperation in developing appropriate methods and managing regional and local sediment problems; promote monitoring of sediment data and information exchange; provide advice to policy makers in Member States and activate scientific and professional communities in all regions; Among the accomplishments: Global erosion and sediment information system. System set up at IRTCES center under the auspices of UNESCO in Beijing;

21 From Potential Conflict to Co-operation Potential Water for Peace a contribution to World Water Assessment Programme

22 Hydrology for the Environment, Life and Policy To develop a new approach to improve integrated catchment management by building a framework for water law and policy experts, water managers and water scientists to work together on water-related problems. Research, assessment and implementation for the Promotion of IWRM Real people Real catchments Real answers

23 HELP GLOBAL NETWORK Demonstration Operational Evolving Proposed

24 Eco-hydrology

25 Conclusion More data (quantity and quality) More inter-disciplinary research for policy advice Improvement for water management and needs for tools Capacity building
