As groundwater should be recognized as a natural resource with economic and ecological value, groundwater strategies should aim at the sustainable use of groundwater and preservation of its quality.

For each declared Transboundary Groundwater Conservation Area, the Commission shall prepare a Comprehensive Management Plan for the rational development, use, protection and control of the waters in the Transboundary Groundwater Conservation Area.

States, in accordance with the precautionary approach, shall take early action and develop long term plans to ensure the sustainable use of groundwater and of the aquifers in which the groundwater is contained.

(g) groundwater abstraction facilities, regardless of the use or destination of the water, above 3.5 million cubic metres per year

The evidence further shows that the pumping was from different wells where contamination had not affected the groundwater and there is no evidence that the use of different wells to pump the groundwater resulted in increased costs.

Monitoring groundwater levels, pressures, and quality

Protection measures aimed at prevention of groundwater pollution and overuse should be the basic tools for groundwater management.

Third claim unit Groundwater resources Kuwait seeks compensation in the amount of USD 159,883,100 for the loss of use of groundwater resources during the period when these resources could not be used because of contamination resulting from Iraq's invasion and occupation.

(xii) Charter on Groundwater Management, 1989, adopted by the Economic Commission for Europe at its forty fourth session, Groundwater strategies

The groundwater is 300 feet deep, 100 meters.

The Department has developed software and hydrological databases on groundwater and provides training for the use and adaptation of this software by developing countries.

In allocating groundwater resources, account should be taken of the amount of groundwater in reserve and of the rate of its replenishment.

(viii) Section IV of the Charter on Groundwater Management, 1989, adopted by the Economic Commission for Europe at its forty fourth session, Groundwater allocation

Salinization and depletion of groundwater resources Jordan seeks compensation in the amount of USD 1,465,565,462 for the salinization and depletion of its groundwater resources.

ESCWA also focused on the sustainable management of shared groundwater resources, especially in the many countries where groundwater is the main source of water.

(k) Overpumping of groundwater in excess of capacity for recharge.

Protection of groundwater from contamination and water resource management issues.

More emphasis should be given to the nature conservation value provided by groundwater resources, in particular where nature protection areas are vulnerable to changes in groundwater conditions.

Groundwater abstraction activities or artificial groundwater recharge schemes where the annual volume of water to be abstracted or recharged amounts to 10 million cubic metres or more.

Syria also states that there are groundwater wells distributed in the desert for use by herders, as well as reservoirs and other low ground areas where water accumulates.

Ill conceived irrigation systems, irrational use of water, and misuse of agricultural chemicals, however, have resulted in land degradation and pollution of inland water bodies, groundwater and seawater.

The Government's water sources are groundwater and surface water (Ugum River).

Groundwater protection planning should be incorporated into general environmental protection planning.

It's the number one contaminant of groundwater, drinking water, rain water.

SahysMod is such a polygonal groundwater model permitting to assess the use of well water for irrigation, the effects on soil salinity and on depth of the water table.

Specific support will focus on community management of local water resources, including rainwater harvesting (for use by households and schools, and groundwater recharge), micro watershed management and operational research.

The IAEA, we believe, can play a significant role in that regard by promoting the use of isotope technology for the protection and management of surface water and groundwater.

The Panel, therefore, finds that Jordan has failed to establish that the presence of the refugees resulted in loss of use of groundwater resources due to contamination of springs.

There are no groundwater areas at the border between Finland and Sweden.

However, sustainable use of groundwater resources would require regulatory regimes to control aquifer depletion and protect water quality, for which monitoring and enforcement capacities would need to be developed or enhanced.

In addition, overexploitation of groundwater in the Gaza Strip and the great increase in water use by settlers in Israeli settlements have resulted in increased salinity because of sea water intrusion.

Most Parties highlighted the extraction of groundwater as the most cost effective measure.

Loss of groundwater due to microbiological contamination Jordan seeks compensation in the amount of USD 11,365,977 for the loss of use of groundwater resources in the Qairawan, Baqouriyeh, Shoreya'a, Hazzir and Wadi As Sir springs due to microbiological contamination as a result of the presence of refugees in Jordan following Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait.

The Environmental Protection Agency also collected soil and groundwater samples and conducted independent analyses.

United Nations groundwater software development, dissemination and training were also added because of demand.

Aquifer means a subsurface layer or layers of rock or other geological strata of sufficient porosity and permeability to allow either a significant flow of groundwater or the abstraction of significant quantities of groundwater.

This resulted in the salinization and degradation of Jordan's main groundwater basins, in particular the aquifers of Amman Zarqa, Azraq and Northern Mujib, as well as depletion of groundwater resources in the main basins.

Some Parties emphasized their needs for adaptation research, particularly to address key vulnerabilities, such as water resources management, including use of groundwater resources and development of drought tolerant and disease resistant crops and livestock.

Even worse, farmers are now relying on groundwater that is being depleted by over pumping.

Groundwater pollution is interrelated with the pollution of other environmental media (surface water, soils, atmosphere).

States shall specially protect sites where groundwater is withdrawn from or recharged to an aquifer.

c. Assessing the impacts on groundwater and aquifers of industrial, agricultural, and other activities and

In consultation with groundwater experts, this draft article was prepared to cope with such situations.

It did not seem particularly efficient to do in two steps what could be done in one, namely, prepare one draft excluding unrelated confined groundwater and then another applying the same principles to such confined groundwater.

Advisory services will be provided in improving national capabilities for exploration and utilization of surface water and groundwater resources, as well as in promoting regional and subregional cooperation in the use of shared water resources.
