The International Hydrological Programme, UNESCO's intergovernmental scientific co-operative programme in water resources, is a vehicle through which Member States can upgrade their knowledge of the water cycle and thereby increase their capacity to better manage and develop their water resources.

This website provides information on the world's wetland sites that are both Biosphere Reserves under UNESCO's MAB Programme and Wetlands of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention.

The Great Volga Route was a river transport artery of Eastern Europe, connecting the basins of the Baltic, Caspian, and Black Seas.
The river, as a symbol for connecting people, can become the starting point for renewed action in the region. Using Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), UNESCO contributes to this process and reinforce contacts along the former trading routes, the 'Great Volga River Route' and the states bordering the Baltic, Black and Caspian Seas.
This website has information about the Volga Region, information about the ongoing projects, learning resources, links and a forum.
