The
Prut Basin Wide Approach for Nutrient Reduction and Cross
Border Co-operation
(PBWA)
|
|
|
| This project has been developed in the frame of
Danube Regional Project (DRP). The main goal of DRP "regional"
grants is to facilitate a regional approach to the reduction
of point- and non-point sources of nutrient- and toxic-substances
pollution in the Danube River Basin. This programme is managed
by the Regional Environmental Center for Central and Eastern
Europe on behalf of the UNDP/GEF Danube Regional Project. |
| Short
Description |
| The
PBWA project consists in facilitating a watershed
regional cross-border approach during the development
of the draft Prut River Basin Management Plan
for Nutrient Reduction and in applying concrete
measures to reduce the nutrient - pollution sources
in two pilot mirror-areas, one in Romania and
one in Rep. of Moldova. |

| On the borders of Central
European Countries, such as between Romania, Rep.
Moldova and Ukraine, problems of cross -border
pollution, management of natural resources, (especially
affecting rivers and lakes straddling the borders),

Overall Goal: |
 |
To facilitate
a regional, trans-boundary approach, enable the
multistakeholders' involvement; ensure transparency
and participation on the Draft Prut River Management
Plan to be developed by the governmental experts
in line with the EU Water Framework Directive. |
|
|
*Note: The
project highlights the nutrient reduction component
and the cross-border co-operation between Romania
and Rep. Moldova. |
| |
 |
| |
Objectives |
|
To raise awareness on nutrients,
other toxic substances and their negative effects
on ecosystems, human health, within the Prut
River catchment area, on both banks.
|
| ................................................ |
|
|
To provide access
to knowledge regarding ways to avoid or reduce
the nutrients and the toxic substances, for ex.
BAP, composting, manure handling, simple systems
for waste water treatment, etc. |
| ................................................ |
|
|
To support nutrient
reduction policies by implementing adequate concrete
measures within the demonstration sites. |
| ................................................ |
|
|
To establish a
forum by bringing together experts from administration,
industry, science and NGOs to act as a trans-boundary
information network in Romania and Rep. Moldova
while the assigned experts' group is developing
the Prut River Management Plan. |
| ................................................ |
|
|
To improve and
expand communication and co-operation among the
Romanian and Moldovian governmental structures
so as to integrate the amount of data and information
on nutrients and toxic substances in the development
plans in the Prut River Basin region. |
