The CCOP-GSJ-MME Groundwater Project Phase III Meeting was held on 5-7 March 2018, in Siem Reap, Cambodia. It was attended by 24 participants from Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Republic of Korea, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Thailand, and the CCOP Technical Secretariat. Representatives from Safe Water Supply Team Cambodia and UNESCO-Bangkok were also presented. In the meeting, participants confirmed progress of the project from March 2017 to March 2018, and discussed work plan for 2018 by three group discussions.

Each CCOP Member Country made a country presentation on the topic,“Explanation documents for the country’s capital city or representative area” (DB1& DB2) and “Public policy for Groundwater observation system ” (Public Policy Group). Since the current groundwater problem varies from one CCOP member country to another because of various hydrogeological and geographical settings, each Member Country should share the information for efficient hydrogeological map in the CCOP regions.

This publication is the compiled country reports presented in the CCOP-GSJ-MME Groundwater Phase III Meeting.

This CCOP’s book project on the "Best Practices of Mine Rehabilitation and Decommissioning Programmes of Success Stories in East and Southeast Asia” was originally proposed by the Mines and Geosciences Bureau, Republic of the Philippines in 2013. The proposal was aimed to encourage CCOP Member Countries to participate in the project and contribute their successful case studies of how the mining companies have taken their efforts to maintain and protect the environments and their mining locations. This book project officially started in 2015 with a total of three meetings in 2015, 2017 and 2018. The majority of the Member Countries have participated in this activity.
