International waters
 | ||
International waters, both inland (surface or groundwater) or marine, often belong either to several States or to none. These waters are under particular threat from overexploitation of their resources as well as from pollution and soil erosion.
The aim of the FGEF is to contribute to better management of international waters.
It therefore gives particular consideration to projects that:
- Emphasise collaboration between States;
- Strengthen measurement networks and monitoring systems;
- Reduce pollution at source.

The FGEF is a partner of the interdepartmental Web site: www.eau-international-france.fr which presents the mobilisation of the French public stakeholders taking up the world water challenge in the 21st century. It was launched at the 13th session of the Commission on Sustainable Development in New York.
