Common use of Bilateral Water Management Actions Clause in Contracts

Bilateral Water Management Actions. Bilateral Water Management actions that could apply at the different classes or under different conditions are documented in the appendices or will be developed by the BMC. The intent is to provide sufficient documentation to ensure that action occurs when warranted, while giving the Parties flexibility to choose which actions are most appropriate given the actual conditions and priorities and updated information and knowledge. Key guidelines for the selection of Bilateral Water Management actions include:  Bilateral Water Management actions will be designed and implemented at a level of detail and rigor commensurate with the assigned class. Water bodies in class 1 would require less management actions than other classes (e.g., class 1 water bodies would report on Development and Activities and share available information on Aquatic Ecosystems). Class 2 water bodies would require more detailed management actions (e.g., initiation of Learning Plans, which would include monitoring, review of existing data and information, and potentially establishing Triggers). Class 3 water bodies require more intensive management actions (e.g., setting Transboundary Objectives and monitoring to ensure the objectives are being met);  The Parties will jointly decide on Bilateral Water Management actions;  There may be both Jurisdictional Water Management actions (actions undertaken by one Party) and/or Bilateral Water Management actions (actions undertaken collaboratively by both Parties);  There will be both mandatory and optional actions; appendices to the Agreement may define Triggers that require action to be taken, along with an illustrative set of sample actions, while leaving the choice of which specific action to the discretion of the Bilateral Management Committee;  A diversity of sources of relevant available knowledge, including scientific, local and traditional knowledge, and information from the general public may be considered;  Bilateral Water Management actions will be designed in recognition of data availability constraints, opportunities and needs (e.g., Transboundary Waters with limited data availability may be subject to different actions than water bodies with more sufficient data).
