The identification of important transboundary groundwater bodies was based on the following criteria:
1) all transboundary groundwater bodies > 4000 km2, and
2) transboundary groundwater bodies < 4000 km2, if they are very important; the identification as important has to be bilaterally agreed.
These may also include groups of groundwater bodies. Further clarification and harmonisation is necessary on some transboundary water bodies.
Product of ICPDR, Vienna
This product includes geographical data licensed from European National Mapping Agencies. EuroGlobalMap v1.0 (EuroGeographics) was used as the basic topographic layer for DE, AT, CZ, IT, SI and HR. The data for the other countries is based on
VMAP Level 0 data from NIMA. The outer border of the DRBD is based on national information from DE, AT, CH, CZ, SK, SI, HR, BA, CS, BG, RO, UA and MD. For PL, AL, MK and IT the data of the European Commission (Joint Research Centre) was used.
