Introduction

Introduction:

The CD-ROM *1 at hand has been created by Dr. Kehl / AGNOS in the framework of Global Campus 21 "Integrated Groundwater Management" as a result of the workshops on "Transboundary Water Management", 2003, 14 - 24 July in Berlin, and 27 Nov. - 1 Dec. in Feldafing, organized by InWEnt, Capacity Building International, Germany.

*1 Originally, the content of this Website has been published only on CD-ROM for the participants of the workshops in 2003. The internet version is slightly different to the CD-ROM version.

Generally, the CD-ROM will give a review of the workshops, especially for its participants. Furthermore, the different contributions of the facilitators are integrated as PowerPoint-Presentations and/or Word Documents.
The site "Helpful Links" is offering the literature cited during the workshop, and further particulars concerning the topic "Integrated Groundwater Management, Regional and International".

All websites of the CD-ROM were optimized for maximum download speed and designed for multiple browser functionality, but especially for Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x, and for screen resolution 1024 X 768. In order to get the full functionality of the sites you should activate JavaScript on your computer.

Especially, the page "Helpful Links" is offering several external links. This means that for Internet access, your computer must be online at retrieval time, or your browser must be set to automatically connect when an URL is requested.
