Noting that IGWCO has already largely cooperated both in the definition and the implementation of the GEO Water Tasks, it views itself as a principal partner in further collaboration with GEO. 2. IGWCO is prepared to act as strategic think tank and to make use of the technical, scientific and supporting institutional infrastructure of its partners in support of GEO. To achieve even closer collaboration with GEO, IGWCO is prepared to align its work plan to focus on GEO requirements on the basis of the draft IGWCO Assessment Report that had prepared for the 3rd IGWCO Planning Meeting. 3. IGWCO primarily focuses on three areas: Development and support of global, water-related observing systems, science-based, applications-oriented and demand-driven products and capacity building. 4. In view of network development and access to global data and information from hydrometeorological networks especially from terrestrial observations, IGWCO is closely linked with the Global Terrestrial Network – Hydrology (GTN-H) that is supported by WMO’s Hydrology and Water Resources Programme (HWR) and the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS). Space agencies continue to actively support the space-based observations in support of IGWCO activities. Through its science component, IGWCO is driving at the development of demand-driven, applications-oriented products to achieve its objectives. Capacity-building is seen as a major contribution to put observations and derived products into applications by hydrological services, the science community and water managers. 5. Until a suitable accommodation has been found, IGWCO continues to be an IGOS partner. In this context it is noted that most but not all activities undertaken by IGWCO are directly linked to GEO and significant efforts are in R&D of improved products that, once fully developed could be offered to GEO. Moreover, IGWCO recognizes that an import function of the current IGOS-P continues to be to provide the mechanism for an effective cross-integration between the IGOS-P themes. This function can – in the opinion of IGWCO – not yet be covered through GEO. Cross integration of themes is seen as important to make full use of synergies between the themes to achieve both theme specific objectives and the societal benefit areas of GEO. 6. Comments on the draft document for 14 IGOS-P: Taking into consideration the detailed comments above, the draft document with the amendments provided by the GEO-Secretariat (Michael Rast) have been coordinated with the Chair of the IGWCO Executive and reflect its general views with regard to the statements and proposed lines of actions. A few additional amendments are made in track change in purple color.
