About EXACT
Multilateral working groups to advance the Middle East Peace Process were
formed in January 1992. One of these groups, the Multilateral Working Group
on Water Resources, endorsed the Water Data Banks Project in November 1994.
The Water Data Banks Project consists of a series of specific actions to be
taken by the Israelis, Jordanians, and Palestinians that are designed to
foster the adoption of common, standardized data collection and storage
techniques among the Parties, improve the quality of the water resources
data collected in the region, and to improve communication among the
scientific community in the region.
The project is managed by an Executive Action Team, EXACT, comprised of
water experts from Israeli, Jordanian, and Palestinian water-management
agencies. Technical and financial support to EXACT is contributed by the
European Union, France, The Netherlands, and the United States. Former
donors include Australia and Canada.
