Water resources at the IAEA and some recent initiatives

Programme Context The Programme – responds to scientific aspects of the water agenda, stated in (for example) Millennium Development Goals World Summit on Sustainable Development 3 rd WWF-Kyoto 5 th WWF-Istanbul provides support for: Improved understanding of the water cycle Sustainable exploitation of water resources Improved data and capacity for monitoring the quantity and quality of water resources Better mapping and assessment of water resources Leading-edge research in sustainable use and management of water resources

Supporting Technical Cooperation The Programme – supports over 80 active projects (funding ~ $8M/cycle) in Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America works to develop infrastructure & human resource capacity, and apply isotope methods to address specific water problems through National and Regional projects

Technical Cooperation Themes Assessment of groundwater resources (origin, dynamics) Assessment of surface waters (dynamics, baseflow, etc.) Investigation of groundwater-surface water interactions Inter-sectoral themes (management of aquifers, river basins, coastal zones transboundary systems, wetlands, etc.) Investigation of groundwater-dependent ecosystems Adapting to Climate Change Others (geothermal, dam safety, etc.)

Importance of Data – Isotope monitoring programmes and other compilations Global Network of Isotopes in Precipitation (GNIP) since 1961; data used for hydrology and climate change Global Network of Isotopes in Rivers (GNIR) since 2002 ; for hydrology of river basins and impacts of land use/climate Atlases of Isotope Hydrology (Africa, Asia, Latin America) Used for groundwater assessments

Water Availability Enhancement Project (IWAVE Project) The IAEA’s WAVE Project is intended to assist Member States in fully assessing the availability and quality of water resources. This objective will be achieved by identifying gaps in hydrologic information and understanding, by improving the collection, management, and interpretation of water-resources data, and by using advanced techniques to simulate hydrologic systems for resource management A hands-on, on-the-ground project to increase national capacity to conduct comprehensive water-resources assessments

IWAVE Project – NATIONAL assessment of water resources Focus on gaps in hydrological data and knowledge To build on, and compliment, other international, regional, and national initiatives With extra-budgetary funding from the US Department of State to the IAEA’s Peaceful Uses Initiative, the project will launch a proof-of-concept or pilot study in the Philippines in 2011 The IAEA Director General has declared Water to be a priority area of IAEA’s work in 2011 and the IWAVE project is one of the major themes of this initiative
