Methodological sheet of the indicator available for the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country.
| Available indicator |
Proportion of the area of transboundary basins subject to operational arrangements for water cooperation |
|---|---|
| Target |
6.5 By 2030, implement integrated water resources management at all levels, including through transboundary cooperation as appropriate |
| Goal |
6- Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all |
| Definition |
Proportion of transboundary basin area with an operational arrangement for water cooperation |
| Theoretical formula |
\[PSTCOOP^{t} = \frac{STCOOP^{t}}{ST^{t}} \cdot 100\]
where: $STCOOP^{t} =$ transboundary basin area covered by an operational arrangement for water in the year $t$ $ST^{t} =$ transboundary basin area in the year $t$ |
| Frequency |
Annual |
| Observations |
Integrated river and lake management is organized into international commissions for entire river basins in the case of transboundary waters. The commissions’ activities are based on international agreements. Part of the Basque Country is located in the Garonne-Cantabrian-Ebro international river basin. In February 2006, a cooperation agreement was signed in Toulouse to coordinate, as effectively as possible, the measures taken in the river basins located on both sides of the border, in implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD), as well as to establish regular administrative cooperation. |
