The importance of sanitation to effective management of water resources and protection of water related ecosystems was emphasized.

N. Environmental protection and integrated management, development and use of inland water resources

The United Nations Secretariat is carrying out technical assistance projects in the area of protection of fresh water resources through integrated water management systems, assessment and monitoring of fresh water resources, linking water resources activities with initiatives on desertification.

Since water sustains life, effective management of water resources demands a holistic approach, linking social and economic development with protection of natural ecosystems.

(vii) Article 6 of the Convention on Cooperation for the Protection and Sustainable Use of the Danube, 1994, Specific water resources protection measures

(a) enumerate groundwater resources subject to a long term protection as well as protection zones valuable for existing or future drinking water supply purposes

They relate to the sectors of agriculture, livestock raising, water resources, sanitation, land management, forest protection, energy, etc.

(b) To ensure that transboundary waters are used with the aim of ecologically sound and rational water management, conservation of water resources and environmental protection

3. Protection of the quality and supply of freshwater resources, application of integrated approaches to the development, management and use of water resources (chapter 18).

These experiments are conducted in sectors such as agriculture, stockbreeding, water resources, sanitation, land management, forest protection and energy.

Effective development and management of water resources and efficient and equitable provision of safe drinking water are central to poverty eradication, ecosystem protection and sustainable growth.

2. Integrated water resources development and management

Geared towards water quality and protection, this project is attempting to optimize the allocation of scarce water resources among agricultural, urban and industrial uses, in response to the recommendations of Agenda 2l (UNCED).

Protection of the environment and the rational use of natural resources (land, water, energy, forestry, etc.) also require mainstreaming environmental protection in poverty reduction and national development strategies of the least developed countries.
