At the following link http://www.igme.es/internet/boletin/ultimoNum.htm you will find the special issue of the Boletin Geologico y Minero on the Management of the Guarani Aquifer System, edited by Ricardo Hirata, Geroncio Rocha, Javier Heredia and Francesco Sindico. The special issue features some of the papers presented at the Conference “The Management of the Guarani Aquifer System: An Example of Cooperation” held at the University of Sao Paulo in September 2011, http://www.cepas.net.br/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3&Itemid=103. All papers are in Spanish and Portuguese, but they all include a long summary in English making them accessible to those who do not speak Spanish or Portuguese. The conference was organised jointly by the University of Sao Paulo, the Environment Department of the State of Sao Paulo and the University of Surrey, UK. The special issue includes papers that look at the management of the Guarani Aquifer System from a triple perspective: legal, hydrogeological and socio-economic, and it also includes the Sao Paulo Declaration, which was adopted at the Conference.
