Transboundary assessment:What’s so special ?
• Sharing knowledge and data between countries
• Harmonising information
And ultimately to agree on: • Most important issues for priority action, and• Agree on the actions to be taken

Aquifer Assessment - a definition
a consideration of all the facts about it (=the aquifer) and
a judgement or opinion of the position and of
what is likely to happen.
