Human Dynamics KG ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION OF INTERNATIONAL RIVER BASINS PROJECT EUROPEAID/131360/C/SER/MULTI This project is funded by the European Union Overall Project Objective To improve water quality in the transboundary river basins of the wider Black Sea region and Belarus 3 This project is implemented by a Consortium led by Hulla and Co. Human Dynamics KG ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION OF INTERNATIONAL RIVER BASINS PROJECT EUROPEAID/131360/C/SER/MULTI This project is funded by the European Union Specific Project Objectives To improve availability and quality of data on the ecological, chemical, and hydro-morphological status of transboundary river basins including groundwater To develop River Basin Management Plans for selected river basins / subriver basins according to the requirements of the WFD 4 This project is implemented by a Consortium led by Hulla and Co. Human Dynamics KG ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION OF INTERNATIONAL RIVER BASINS PROJECT EUROPEAID/131360/C/SER/MULTI This project is funded by the European Union Water Framework Directive The overall objective of the WFD is “good status” of all waters (surface water and groundwater). For water bodies which are (expected to be) of less than good status, plans of measures have to be prepared and implemented in order to improve the status to become at least “good”. Whether or not water bodies are of good status has to be determined through monitoring and assessment. 5 This project is implemented by a Consortium led by Hulla and Co. Human Dynamics KG ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION OF INTERNATIONAL RIVER BASINS PROJECT EUROPEAID/131360/C/SER/MULTI This project is funded by the European Union Key WFD Benefits Provides clear environmental objectives and bounds for water development under IWRM primciple. It defines the third pillar and balances the economic and social objectives. Delivers a strong management and governance framework for water quality and quantity, with standard methodologies and protocols. It reinforces inter-disciplinary coordination and active stakeholder participation in decision making both central to the IWRM concept Provides a common legal and regulatory framework for management of international River basins ( we can compare apples with apples) 6 This project is implemented by a Consortium led by Hulla and Co. Human Dynamics KG ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION OF INTERNATIONAL RIVER BASINS PROJECT EUROPEAID/131360/C/SER/MULTI This project is funded by the European Union WFD Implementation - Overall Challenges The project can assist the countries with the implementation of and compliance with WFD but it has to be realistic. Implementation and compliance will take many years and require considerable funding by the beneficiary countries as well as political engagement and support. The project can only hope to start or reinforce the process at the national and international levels. WFD is a complex piece of legislation requiring new techniques, improved capacities, investment and in some cases institutional reform. There has to be long-term planning in the development of monitoring systems and River Basin Management – it is currently only short term, often linked to technical assistance. 7 This project is implemented by a Consortium led by Hulla and Co.

Human Dynamics KG ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION OF INTERNATIONAL RIVER BASINS PROJECT EUROPEAID/131360/C/SER/MULTI This project is funded by the European Union Implementation Phase: Activity-2 Activity 2.3: Analysis of baseline situation ‐ Task 2.3.1: Preliminary classification of water bodies based on available data o o o Preliminary classification of the identified surface WBs has been done and is described in the ‘Delineation’ reports. As the data on chemical and hydro-biological monitoring in the pilot basins is scarce (particularly in the Caucasus countries), preliminary classification of water bodies was based on the experts’ opinion and historic data; Those segments that did not qualify for achieving “good” status and were lacking data for deeper hydrological and socioeconomic analysis, were temporarily categorised as Water Body “at risk” (WBR). This category is an additional criterion, thus delineation of water bodies “at risk“ are only result of a preliminary assessments and should be verified; Groundwater classification was based on the analysis of available data for wells and boreholes and also information on the anthropogenic influences. Groundwater status included both quantitative and qualitative components. 20 This project is implemented by a Consortium led by Hulla and Co.
