The projection will be based on suitable models from the International Panel of Climate Change (IPCC). Consideration of consequences for Central Asia will be in focus of the experts\u2019 attention and their further work. Another important objective is preparation of methodolo- gy for the prediction of climate and flow changes in small Central Asian basins.<br \/>\nBesides of the above-mentioned climate change meetings in Turkmenistan, GIZ Transboundary Water Man- agement in Central Asia Programme conducted technical trainings on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for specialists of water management organisations in Murgab river basin (in the city of Mary, Turkmenistan) and purchased GIS equipment for partner organisations as means of technical support. All these activities have been implemented in the framework of the EU-funded action \u201cWater Management and Basin Organisations in Central Asia (WMBOCA)\u201d.<br \/>\n\u201cWater Management and Basin Organisations in Central Asia (WMBOCA)\u201d is funded by the European Union and implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft fu\u0308r Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH acting in partnership with the Regional Environmental Centre for Central Asia (CAREC). Budget of WMBOCA consists of approx- imately \u20ac2 million provided by the European Union and approximately \u20ac0.5 million provided by the German Fed- eral Foreign office.<br \/>\n[button link=&#8221;https:\/\/archive.greencentralasia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/07\/2013_14-18-01_PR_Adaptation_to_Climate_Change_Training_Ashgabat_TM_WMBOCA_Eng.pdf&#8221; type=&#8221;icon&#8221;]Download PDF Publication[\/button]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ASHGABAT \u2013 This week (14-18 January 2013) Introductory Meetings on Climate and Flow Prediction in Small River Basins of Central Asia have taken place in the framework of the EU-funded action \u201cWater Management and Basin Organisations in Central Asia (WMBOCA)\u201d, implemented by programme of Deutsche Gesellschaft fu\u0308r Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.
