(Applause)

The boundaries of these new regions are based on catchment basins.

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.

Effective management links land and water uses across the whole of a catchment area or groundwater aquifer.

Many Parties reported on options to increase domestic water supply these included prospecting for, and extraction of, deep groundwater, increasing storage capacity by building reservoirs and dams, and improving watershed management.

(ix) Protecting and rehabilitating catchment areas for regulating water flows and improving water quality, taking into account the critical role of ecosystems

Forests and terrestrial ecosystems Forest management and conservation were seen by several Parties as important to protect watersheds, combat land degradation and desertification, preserve species and sequester carbon.

So, if a farmer adopts the best management practice, if we have a TMDL for a water body and a basal management action plan and agriculture is part of that watershed

The territorial competence of such authorities with respect to groundwater management should not necessarily be limited to either administrative boundaries or catchment areas but should allow for encompassing, as appropriate, management of aquifers in their entirety.

Our, Florida watershed restoration act, is our legislation that implements the TMDL program, from EP, From EPA.

Water Management

undertake pilot projects to demonstrate the contribution of forests, for example, Model Forests and watershed management create an improved environment for increased private sector funding.

People have simply lost the knowledge of how to use the catchment area and the rain, the blessing of the water in the right way.

6. Waste management

Water resources management

It may also be feasible to increase natural availability by increasing rainwater catchments and storage units.

As in other watershed areas, abundant snow and rainfalls are common.

Reforestation in many of them is also necessary for the restoration of degraded watersheds so as to increase water supply to meet growing demand.

The application of a participatory approach to watershed management and the development of pilot sites have yielded very positive results that have the potential for wider replication throughout the country.

Through its Water Futures Partnership, the company has identified which of its facilities are located in areas facing water security risks and has created partnerships in the local watersheds to address these risks.

(a) Ecosystem approaches to integrated water resource management

Many cities worldwide are following its example, expanding their water catchment and treatment programs.

Bioregions are defined through physical and environmental features, including watershed boundaries and soil and terrain characteristics.

While deforestation and unsustainable management practices can lead to increased water pollution, sustainable forest management in watersheds can help to protect supplies of freshwater.

This approach covers projects related to forestry, agro forestry, watershed management, desertification control, wildlife and protected area management and fisheries.

Chapter 18. Management and use of water resources

Participatory watershed management projects are increasingly focusing on the need to draw on the knowledge and technology of indigenous peoples and to achieve an approach that strengthens the traditional stewardship of indigenous peoples of the lands they have traditionally occupied.

Reforestation was also recognized as a priority for protecting watersheds, mitigating natural disasters, and protecting investments in agriculture and infrastructure.

Quality, effectiveness and transparency in water sector administration Sustainability of investment and services.

The Declaration highlights the need for cooperation in harnessing the fresh water catchments of Africa, as an important prerequisite for social and environmental development.

The 1999 Florida Watershed Restoration Act directs DEP to check and to make sure, or insure, that these BMP's are, in fact, working.

Experiments in water management focus on the development of water harvesting techniques, the promotion of desalination plants and dam construction.

Experiments in water management relate to the development of water harvesting techniques, promotion of desalination plants and dam construction.

Human settlements in watersheds may modify hydraulic systems and destabilize slopes, thereby increasing flood and landslide hazards.

Iraq referred especially to contamination of water from urban settlements located within the catchment areas of highly vulnerable springs which did not have appropriate connections to sewerage networks.

In October 2003, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) signed a watershed agreement to establish an economic community by 2020.

(c) Symposium on quot Management of Water Resources quot

Most of these activities generate considerable negative externalities, the most important being disfigurement of coastlines and marine pollution and pollution of coastal freshwater aquifers.
