This Resolution establishes general guidelines for the integration between the management of water resources and the management of mineral, thermal, sparkling, drinking waters or for bathing purposes. The competent water resources management body and the mineral resources management body, with a view to facilitating the integration process, should seek the sharing of information and compatibility of procedures, defining the content and the necessary technical studies.
