The Global Environment Facility (GEF) International Waters (IW) focalarea targets transboundary water systems, such as shared river basins, lakes, groundwater and large marine ecosystems.
Since 1999, the GEF has actively worked to fill the gap in its GEF International Waters FocalArea and project portfolio relating to groundwater and aquifers.
The Silloth Green project has given the area, which is a focal point for the town, a facelift and includes restoring the Pagoda and creating an events area.
