Examples of LIMCOM in a sentence

  • While no bilateral or multilateral agreement specific to any aquifer currently exists in the SADC, there are several existing transboundary surface water agreements that could have a mandate to also cover TBAs, as we have seen with the ORASECOM and LIMCOM treaties.

  • However, this would not be an obstacle since both the ORASECOM and LIMOCOM treaties refer to the possibility for specific parties to enter into ad hoc agreements.84 If the countries sharing the Stampriet or the Ramotswa were to consider the ORASECOM and LIMCOM treaties and their commissions to manage the specific TBA, the question arises as to whether these agreements already cover groundwater and, potentially, transboundary aquifers.

  • If that were the case, the two TBAs that appear to have gathered some momentum in terms of international project activities, the Stampriet and the Ramotswa, could fall under the mandate of ORASECOM and LIMCOM treaties respectively.

  • This is the case for the LIMCOM treaty, which defines the Limpopo watercourse as a system of surface and groundwaters of the Limpopo.85 Conversely, the ORASECOM treaty does not define ‘river system’, and merely includes a brief reference to the ‘hydrogeological’ condition of the river system,86 which could imply that groundwater connected to surface water is included in the system itself.
