Aquifer States shall protect and preserve ecosystems within a transboundary aquifer or aquifer system.

(a) With respect to a recharging transboundary aquifer or aquifer system, shall take into account the sustainability of such aquifer or aquifer system and shall not impair the utilization and functions of such aquifer or aquifer system

Thus, only transboundary aquifers and aquifer systems are covered by the draft convention and domestic aquifers and aquifer systems are excluded from its scope.

(c) Transboundary aquifer or transboundary aquifer system means, respectively, an aquifer or aquifer system, parts of which are situated in different States

Even if a domestic aquifer or aquifer system is linked to an international watercourse in the territory of a State where such an aquifer or aquifer system is located, it would fall outside the scope of the draft convention.

(a) Utilization of transboundary aquifers and aquifer systems

(a) The natural condition of the aquifer or aquifer system

Stratospheric and ground based millimetre wave systems were high density architectures.

(b) Aquifer system means a series of more than two aquifers , each associated with specific geological formations, that are hydraulically connected

(b) Aquifer system means a series of more than two aquifers , each associated with specific geological formations, that are hydraulically connected

(e) The existing and potential utilization of the aquifer or aquifer system

(c) The population dependent on the aquifer or aquifer system in each aquifer State

Draft article 12 obliges aquifer States to protect and preserve ecosystems inside aquifers as well as ecosystems outside aquifers, dependent on the aquifers.

Article 10 Monitoring

For the purpose of managing a particular transboundary aquifer or aquifer system, aquifer States in whose territories such an aquifer or aquifer system is located are encouraged to enter into a bilateral or regional arrangement among themselves.

As explained in the second report, the draft convention is intended to cover all transboundary aquifers and aquifer systems regardless of whether or not they are related to surface waters.

(d) The effects of the utilization of the aquifer or aquifer system in one aquifer State on other aquifer States concerned

B. New global satellite and stratospheric communication systems

(c) Measures of protection, preservation and management of those aquifers and aquifer systems.

To provide a portable system, a layer of OS routines had been used to shield MIDAS from the local operating system.

B. New global satellite and stratospheric communication systems 48 88 8

It caused some confusion and accordingly aquifer system is now defined as a series of more than two aquifers.

The report should address synergies as they relate to vulnerability at three levels ecosystems, production systems and social systems.

They are encouraged to establish a development plan for such aquifer or aquifer system, taking into account the agreed lifespan of such aquifer or aquifer system as well as future needs of and alternative water sources for the aquifer States.

They shall also ensure adequate quality and sufficient quantity of discharge water to protect and preserve outside ecosystems dependent on the aquifer or aquifer system.

Aquifer States shall, in undertaking other activities in their territories that have or are likely to have an impact on a transboundary aquifer or aquifer system, take all appropriate measures to prevent the causing of significant harm through that aquifer or aquifer system to other aquifer States.

Any State in whose territory such an aquifer or aquifer system is located is entitled to participate in the negotiation and to become a party to arrangements when such arrangements are likely to prejudice their positions vis à vis that aquifer or aquifer system.

Any State in whose territory such an aquifer or aquifer system is located is entitled to participate in the negotiation and to become a party to arrangements when such arrangements are likely to prejudice their positions vis à vis that aquifer or aquifer system.

Subparagraph (a) of this draft article relates to the utilization of transboundary aquifers and aquifer systems by the aquifer States in which they are located, in the absence of an agreement that allows other States to do so.

Aquifer States shall identify recharge zones of a transboundary aquifer or aquifer system and, within these zones, shall take special measures to minimize detrimental impacts on the recharge process and also take all measures to prevent pollutants from entering the aquifer or aquifer system.

Aquifer States shall, in their respective territories, utilize a transboundary aquifer or aquifer system in a reasonable manner and, in particular

He proposed deleting the word harmonized from draft article 10, paragraph 1, since the establishment of universally applicable standards and methodologies for monitoring a transboundary aquifer or aquifer system might impose too great an obligation on aquifer States and, given the differences between aquifers and aquifer systems in the respective aquifer States, might not be practical.

(f) Minimizing the effects of major activities affecting transboundary aquifers or aquifer systems

(c) Strengthen the commitment and accountability of the United Nations system at the highest levels

(b) Other activities that have or are likely to have an impact upon those aquifers and aquifer systems

This would result in the dual applicability of the draft convention and the 1997 Watercourses Convention for those aquifers and aquifer systems that constitute, by virtue of their physical relationship, a unitary whole with systems of surface waters.

But at least on coral reefs are systems where there is a bottom component with structure.

In the light of uncertainty about the nature and extent of some transboundary aquifers or aquifer systems, aquifer States are encouraged to take a precautionary approach.

No matter what level you look at, whether it's at the ecosystem level or at the species level or at the genetic level, we see the same problem again and again.

(f) The development, protection and conservation of the aquifer or aquifer system and the costs of measures to be taken to that effect
