1 Protection and Sustainable Use of the Dinaric Karst Transboundary Aquifer System A Rocky Road to Cooperation

It is implemented by UNDP and executed by UNESCO. facilitate the equitable and sustainable utilization of the transboundary water resources of the Dinaric Karst Aquifer System, and protect the unique groundwater dependent ecosystems that characterize the Dinaric Karst region of the Balkan peninsula.

4 http://diktas.iwlearn.org What is Karst? Karst is a special type of geologic environment that is formed by dissolution and corrosion of soluble rocks, such as limestone and dolomite. Karst hydrogeology is characterized by high fracture controlled permeability, almost total absence of surface water, high infiltration rates and rapid underground flows of groundwater.

5 http://diktas.iwlearn.org DIKTAS Elaborated Core partners: Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia and Montenegro Regional partners: Slovenia, Greece and Italy International partners :GWP-MED, IGRAC, IAH, …. Full size GEF regional project 2010-2014 Budget ca M$5.2 PCU hosted by the Water Agency in Trebinje, BiH

6 http://diktas.iwlearn.org Project Components I - Improving the understanding of the resource and of its environmental status II - Establishing cooperation mechanisms among countries sharing the aquifer III - Facilitating harmonization of policies and priority reforms IV - Stakeholder Participation, Consultation and Communication Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) Int. Consultation and Information Exchange Body (CIE) National Interministerial Committees (NICs) Strategic Action Program (SAP)
