This book is an effect of work undertaken within the framework of SPS NATO Pilot
Study project “Sustainable Use and protection of Groundwater Resources -
Transboundary Water Management” launched in August 1996. The publication is a
consequence of the VI project meeting which was held on 20–23 April 2009 in
Jerusalem, thanks to kindles and support of Ittail Gavrieli - head of Geological
Survey of Israel, whom I thank for this assistance in the organization. I would like
also to express my sincere thanks to Ludwik Halich who support our project since
very beginning for his commitment and many valuable advices concerning imple-
mentation of complicated task which is international cooperation.
It is worth emphasizing that the book, instead of issues presented at Jerusalem’s
meeting, contains a few articles prepared for previous meetings. However, their
presence is essential from the point of view of displaying the completion project
topics.
At this point I would like to address my thanks to the representatives of NATO
Science for Peace and Security Committee for supporting of our efforts and financ-
ing activities under the project. During the project I have met with very kind and at
the same time professional approach of the SPS NATO staff.
Sincere thanks are also due to all colleagues involved in the project, especially
form Belarus and Ukraine, for their contribution and commitment in delivering this
important tasks which is a cooperation between neighboring countries regarding
groundwater use and protection as well as management of the entire system of
transboundary waters.
Special thanks I would like to refer to the professor Andrzej Sadurski for the many
discussions that we conducted and to encourage the continuation of the work.
