Water Nexus · Workstream trackerWorkstream tracker, in outline: domain structure with placeholder names and illustrative values, not a record.
Water Nexus regional applications address problems in the water field that the countries of a region share, such as groundwater and aquifers, and the cooperation that responds to them. Each application is listed with its status from the programme record, and regional bodies and governments keep their own mandates and decisions.

Rivers, lakes and how far each division sits from mapped surface water, shown for Ethiopia as an example geography for this subject.
Catchment hydrology and the complete water balance.
Groundwater depletion, recharge, contamination and rights.
Compound water extremes, forecasts and limits.
Treatment, safety, infrastructure and equity.
Utility asset condition and continuity during outages.
Transboundary evidence and institutions.
Most of the world's large rivers and many aquifers cross borders. Regional work is organised around the basin organisations and commissions that states have created, and around regional climate and hydrological centres that serve several countries.
The governance side of shared basins is GRF's Diplomacy Nexus; regional work here supplies the science.
Programmes are listed as exploring, forming, constituted, active, paused or archived. Country and regional entries appear when a programme record supports them.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Subsidiarity | The principle that a decision is taken at the lowest level able to take it well, with a higher level acting only where the objective cannot be achieved closer to the people concerned; the Treaty on European Union states it. |
| Multi-level governance | Shared decision-making across local, regional, national and international levels of government. |
| Flow duration curve | A curve showing the percentage of time a river's flow equals or exceeds each value over the gauged record, used for allocation and low-flow planning. |
The bodies and documents this page is read against. Status and editions change; each link goes to the issuing body.
The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
