FileSituational Analysis
Within the WCR, there has traditionally been more focus on the quality and accessibility of drinking water compared with wastewater management, but there is growing concern over the impact of wastewater on health, the sustainability of livelihoods and other socioeconomic issues. This may be the result of increasing land use pressures on small islands as development and populations density increases, as well as the increased awareness of the social, environmental and economic costs.
FileKnowledge Attitudes and Practices
This report presents an analysis of the knowledge, attitudes and practices pertaining to wastewater management in the Wider Caribbean Region.
FileInternational Best Practices in Wastewater Management
The decline in the quality of surface and groundwater resources from industrial discharges and poor sanitation is a major concern especially where cities are growing rapidly. As well as being a finite resource, domestic water supplies and aquatic ecosystems are at increasing risk of pollution. This increases the scarcity of good quality water and harms habitats.
FileGAP Analysis and Regional Best Practices in Wastewater Management
A gap analysis is a technique for determining the steps to be taken in moving from a current state to a desired future state.
FileAssessment of Wastewater Management Technologies in the Wider Caribbean Region
The increasing scarcity of water in the world coupled with rapid population growth, particularly in urban areas, is an ever more concerning phenomenon and gives rise to the need for appropriate integrated water resources management practices.
FileProgress Report No. 5(IUCN)
IUCN report on September-November 2011 updates in relation to the partnership interventions for the implementation of the Strategic Action Programme for Lake Tanganyika. This is in response to a directive that we have just received from PCU - a very welcome gesture geared towards raising awareness on Invasive Alien Species issues in the Lake’s context.
FileEstablishing equivalency in the performance testing and compliance monitoring of emerging alternative Ballast Water Management Systems
The International Convention on the Control and Management Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments was adopted by IMO member States in February 2004, and is commonly known as the Ballast Water Management (BWM) Convention. The Convention’s Regulations and Guidelines cover all facets of BWM, including the performance, safety and compliance testing requirements and procedures for ballast water exchange (BWE) and on-board ballast water treatment (BWT).
FileInternational Waters: Review of Legal and Institutional Frameworks
The report, International Waters: Review of Legal and Institutional Frameworks, has just been released. It is the most comprehensive report to date that summarizes legal frameworks for the Americas, Asia, Africa and Europe. This report discusses the legal and institutional frameworks that apply to twenty-eight (28) international water bodies that were identified as part of the United Nations Development Programme-Global Environment Facility (“UNDP-GEF”) Good Practices and Portfolio Learning in GEF Transboundary Freshwater and Marine Legal and Institutional Frameworks project. Authored by White and Case for this project, this 300 page document is a much needed and useful contribution to the literature for practitioners of international waters law, its study and practice.
FileEutrophication in the Black Sea region; Impact assessment and causal chain analysis
This report provides supporting information to facilitate the assessment of environmental and socio-economic impacts of eutrophication and to analyze the causes behind eutrophication. Provided in this report is an assessment of the state of eutrophication in the Azov and Black Sea marine regions, as well as the river basins of the main tributaries, namely the Danube, Dnipro and Don. The land-based pollution and its main sectoral causes are analyzed by river basins and marine regions, as well as by country. This report describes in brief the major trends in the region with respect to eutrophication.
FileTransboundary Waters in the Black Sea-Danube region; Legal and fi nancial implications
This report provides an overview of the Black Sea region and its environmental problems. It presents the region’s socio-economic characteristics and examines the water services of the Danube/Black Sea countries. Additionally, it describes the environmental status of the Danube River and of the Black Sea, exploring the main causes behind the region’s water pollution and environmental degradation.
FileTroubled waters - Bridging Science and Society
On the 23rd of August a number of representatives1 from the wide spectra of integrated water research management (IWRM) were gathered in the Swedish city of Kalmar. The meeting was arranged for the purpose of involving actors from the field of management of transboundary water resources to share and discuss important issues to be considered for future activities within the project Global International Waters Assessment (GIWA) run by United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and executed by the University of Kalmar (UoK).
FileChallenges to International Waters; Regional Assessments in a Global Perspective
The GIWA Final Report provides a comprehensive review of the most important findings from the GIWA regional reports. It summarises the major transboundary concerns and their environmental and socio-economic impacts. To better understand these concerns and develop solutions to address them, the Report identifies the root causes and draws policy relevant conclusions. It also outlines knowledge gaps which impede the sustainable management of international waters.
