On 29 and 30 May 2007 UNESCO held a workshop on transboundary aquifers, together with the Académie de l’Eau and the BRGM. It aimed to underline the importance of transboundary aquifers across the world and to affirm the interdisciplinary nature of water management as well as the necessity to create a common language between the different disciplines. For the first time the presentations are now available online.
