Members of the WWAP Evaluation Team included: Dr. Jun Xia, professor, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing; Dr. Amithirigala Widhanelage Jayawardena, Department of Civil Engineering, University of Hong Kong; Mr. Peter Zeil, Centre for Geoinformatics, University of Salzburg, Austria; and Ms. Lindi Helena Charlotte Ilonze, Cactus Consultant, Windhoek, Namibia. The former deputy coordinator of WWAP, Dr. Carlos Fernández-Jauregui, was responsible for assisting the evaluation team on essential aspects of the review: all of the pertinent documents and data stored in Paris that were requested for evaluation were made available. Dr. Fernández-Jauregui is currently director of Water Assessment and Advisory-Global Network (WASA-GN), Zaragoza, Spain. The author also wishes to acknowledge the support of the director general of UNESCO, Koïchiro Matsuura, whose vision has been a catalyst for the WWAP, and whose efforts have led to better worldwide public awareness of the stress on our global water resources.
