Successful projects in the framework of the
Danube basin and Black Sea basin programmes
After 1992, in the framework of the Environmental programme in the
Danube basin, the following have been developed:
- feasibility studies on the main Romanian rivers (Siret, Prut, Tarnave
etc) to identify the hot-spots;
- supply of equipment to laboratories within ICIM and “Romanian
Water Authority” – Craiova and Constanta branches;
- elaboration of methodologies for water sampling and analysis of samples;
- PIAC development (including the necessary equipment and a forecast
model describing the propagation of pollution waves).
- elaboration of the Strategic Action Plan for the Danube river basin
(adopted in Bucharest in December 1994).
- elaboration of a project on wetland reconstruction in the lower Prut
river basin.
Within the framework of the Programme to abate pollution in the Danube
river basin, at national level, a report has been drawn up intended
to identify the main necessary investments, divided into three categories:
industry, agriculture and municipalities. Proceeding from the results
of this project, a new GEF financed project has been proposed aiming to
reduce the amounts of nutrients in the Danube basin water.
The Environmental Management Programme for the Black Sea was developed
in 1993-1996 and completed by the signing of the Strategic Action Plan
for the Black Sea.
The Programme aimed at the development and implementation of the Strategic
Action Plan for the Black Sea has as a main purpose to draw up and
implement Strategic National Action Plans in the Black Sea region. Within
the framework of this project the following actions have been carried
out.
- National Strategic Action Plan for the Black Sea (project not approved
yet).
- Two PHARE projects associated to the GEF programme;
- To assist the activity of the Regional Fishing Activity Centre (methodologies
to assess the condition of living resources, management procedures for
fishing and aquaculture according to EU standards)
- Support for the Chemical Black Sea Monitoring (training to ensure
the quality of data)
