Read our 2025 Annual Activities Report, covering our work strengthening transboundary cooperation on shared water issues: ✅ Indigenous partnerships ✅ Addressing pollution & apportionment ✅ 2025 Great Lakes protection report ijc.org/sites/default/files/… #IJC #SharedWaters

A productive week of collaboration with board members and government partners on transboundary pollution, water levels, and watershed management. We’re moving forward with a focus on effective, science-based stewardship of our #SharedWaters.💧 Read more: ijc.org/en/who/role

GERD’s impact is largely positive: It smooths seasonal floods, improving water management—especially benefiting Sudan. FACT: ~85% of Nile water originates in Ethiopia; 0% originates in Egypt. #SharedWaters #AfricanDevelopmen #PMOEthiopia #Ethiopia #MFA

Does the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam really stop the Nile Water Flow to Egypt? Answer ..NO The GERD has not and is not designed to permanently stop the Nile's flow to Egypt.Or to Any other lower raperian nation,as a matter of fact.#SharedWaters #WinWin #PeaceAndDevelopment

Updated launched and already making waves! Dive deeper into the International Joint Commission's updated Binational Geospatial Platform on ArcGIS Online — An essential hub for transboundary water data between Canada and the U.S. Packed with watershed dashboards, real-time hydrology layers, governance tools, and authoritative datasets from USGS, ECCC, and more. Perfect for GIS pros, researchers, water managers, and anyone advancing shared waters stewardship.Explore authoritative content and collaborate on the future of our boundary ecosystems.Start here: Search "International Joint Commission" (owner) on ArcGIS Online Direct hub: ijc.maps.arcgis.com/home/ind… transboundary mapping journey starts now! 📷📷@IJCsharedwaters @Esri @EsriLivingAtlas @esricanada @USGS @environmentca @CanHydro #GIS #ArcGISOnline #SharedWaters #IJC #TransboundaryWaters #GeospatialData #Hydrology #WaterManagement #Binational

New from @SharedWatersGIS The International Joint Commission is taking full advantage of Group Layers in our AGOL environment to manage and deliver heavy imagery in smart, efficient ways. What are Group Layers? A Group Layer bundles multiple related layers—imagery, vectors, time series—into a single, organized package. This lets us toggle content, control symbology, and streamline performance without duplicating data or inflating storage. Using the new Sentinel-2 10m Land Cover / Time-Series Imagery Service, the IJC has now built: • Seamless Group Layers for every transboundary basin, and • A Canada–U.S. swipe app for exploring land-cover change across the boundary. By leveraging Group Layers, we can manipulate and curate complex imagery without over-taxing cloud storage. And by monitoring usage via ArcGIS Online Item & Layer Summaries, we can strategically decide which image tiles to process locally for performance and product needs. As a next step, the Commission will start to develop Zonal Statistics to quantify land-cover change over time; a critical step forward for the Commission’s community. Smarter data. Lighter footprint. Better shared-waters insight.

The GERD has changed the course of history. Will the Nile become a river that unites or divides the nations it sustains? Read more on the October 2025 edition of CDRC Digest: cdrcethiopia.com/cdrc-digest… #NileCrossroads #SharedWaters #GERD

Today in science we traveled like water droplets through the water cycle and made water journey bracelets. It was a huge hit! #sharedwaters #5thgrade

📢First insights on the 3rd reporting exercise on #SDG indicator 6.5.2👉Out of 129 countries reporting on the indicator, only 43 have operational arrangements in place for 90% or more of their #sharedwaters! 💧🌍Progress is needed to be on track by 2030! @UNECE_Water @unescoWATER

A GREAT night with our co-host @HealthyLakes recognizing the many advocates, including @SenStabenow, who play an essential role in protecting the #SharedWaters of our #GreatLakes. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Hey @EgyIndependent, fancy a fishing trip on GERD’s lakes? 🎣 We’re ready to share the Nile’s bounty. It’s a gift to all, not just those claiming 84% without contributing a drop. Isn’t it time for equitable sharing, as @seleshi_b_a suggests? #NileCooperation #GERD #SharedWaters

On this #WetlandsWednesday I reflect on #SharedWaters and wetlands across the world. Here Lake Geneva - viewed in Nyon on Swiss side. It’s shared with France and you can see France across the lake. Beautiful on a random Wednesday @RamsarConv @un @WetlandsInt @WWF @WWTworldwide

Great news for #GreatLakes waters (and beyond)...congratulations Dr. Chiblow who becomes Canada's newest Commissioner for the International Joint Commission. Super news that @pharethoughts has been reappointed. #sharedwaters #sharedresponsibilities

🇪🇹🌍 The spirit of cooperation 🤝🏽 and belief in equitable use of the #NileRiver 🌊 shines ☀️ brightly. #NileCooperation #SharedWaters #Ethiopia #Egypt

The potential for conflict over #SharedWaters is on the rise, but there is also potential for cooperation and improved relations amongst nations. Join us April 27 to learn about opportunities and challenges for U.S.-Mexico #transboundary waters: ow.ly/P4p850NOq1n
