Common use of Triggers and Objectives Clause in Contracts

Triggers and Objectives. The Parties will work towards preventing, better understanding and, potentially, resolving Transboundary Groundwater issues. Triggers, Transboundary Groundwater Objectives and Jurisdictional or Bilateral Water Management actions will be determined at the BMC after signing. A Trigger is a pre-defined early warning of change that results in confirmation of the change and Jurisdictional and/or Bilateral Water Management to address the change/trend. Multiple Triggers can be set to invoke additional actions as necessary, for example, if there are degrading conditions. A Transboundary Groundwater Objective identifies a change in conditions that, if exceeded, results in Bilateral Water Management. Methods to develop Transboundary Groundwater Objectives for both quantity and quality will be discussed at the BMC. Transboundary Groundwater Objectives will be set for class 3 Groundwater areas in accordance with the RIM approach. Transboundary Groundwater Objectives for quantity will be based on the equitable sharing of the sustainable yield of Transboundary Groundwater. Conditions that could be used to assess if a Transboundary Groundwater should be reclassified are included, but not limited to, the quantity and quality sections below. These will be further developed by the BMC.
