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 implementation 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 financing 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.
