The title fo this Resolution is awkward - 'watershed heads' - effectively means 'sources' - be it spring, wetland or glacier. The terminology makes this resolution more difficult to implement than it should be. The confused language may be due to translation. |

Coordination issues
|
this Resolution is also very diverse and unclear - 2d for example, with 2e and 2f - means lots of things. Recommendation here is to sit with the proponents of this Resolution and really map out a plan of action to make it operational as it covers many interesting areas - source to sea, springs, indicators, agriculture, etc. |
