Countries and organizations that have signed up, there are around 290 so far, are committing to a series of initiatives. Many will strengthen water monitoring and measurement systems in river basins. Others will promote financial sustainability and new investment in water systems management. India has pledged to build climate resilience through improved groundwater management. In the Niger Basin, nine African countries will benefit from the launch of a 10-year investment plan to strengthen resilience.
