| Summary: | This two-volume report seeks to examine
key issues and strategic concerns regarding water resources
management (WRM) at the national and transboundary levels in
the South Eastern Europe (SEE) region, documents the
approach adopted by the SEE countries to address their water
challenges, identifies ways of strengthening both WRM
regimes and international cooperation to optimize resources
management, and makes recommendations for future action.
Most of the analysis and assessment included in the report
is based on the brief Country Water Notes and Country Water
Fact Sheets presented in Volume 2. These notes provide a
brief description of the socioeconomic and geographical
context and development objectives pursued in each country
and their implications for water resources management. WRM
includes such crosscutting issues, such as river basin
management, flood and watershed management monitoring,
institutional management, inter-sectoral water allocation,
and water quality management. Volume 1 comprises four
chapters. Chapter 1 is a description of the water resource
base at the regional level. It includes an assessment of
past and present trends in water use by sector. Chapter 2
analyzes key water issues in each of the focus countries,
emphasizing problems of common concern, Chapter 3 presents
the main water issues at the transboundary level and some
emerging trends. Following the national and regional
analysis of water resources, Chapter 4 presents key
recommendations for improved water management at the
national and transboundary levels. |
