Organizational structure for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive in Romania
BASIN COMMITTEE
In each river basin there is a basin committee which is made
up of the main “actors” from the water management field : state, local
communities, water management units, representatives of industry and
agriculture, NGO`s.

THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION
OF THE WATER FRAMEWORK DIRECTIVE
IN ROMANIA
Q From scientifical point of view:
·the specialised institutions from the field of water
management have modified their activity plan in
order to perform research which is necessary for
the implementation of WFD ;
·a special attention is paid to the adapting of EU
guidelines to the specific conditions of Romania;
THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION
OF THE WATER FRAMEWORK DIRECTIVE IN ROMANIA
FROM SCIENTIFICAL POINT OF VIEW
Methodologies elaborated/adapted by National Administration
“Apele Romane” :
¾ the methodological guidelines for defining the abiotic typology of
streams;
¾ the methodological guidelines for the delineation of surface water
bodies-rivers and lakes;
¾ the methodological guidelines for the preliminary identification of
artificial and heavily modified water bodies- rivers and lakes;
¾ the methodological guidelines for the development of the
integrated water monitoring national system;
¾ the methodological guidelines for the identification of the pollution
point and diffuse sources and for the assessment of their impact
on surface water;
¾ etc.
THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
WATER FRAMEWORK DIRECTIVE IN ROMANIA
FROM SCIENTIFICAL POINT OF VIEW
¾ the methodological guidelines for characterization the
groundwaters bodies;
¾ the methodological guidelines for the determination of
risk of failure to reach the environmental objectives for
groundwaters bodies;
¾ the methodological guidelines for the delineation of the
protected areas;
¾ the methodological guidelines for achievement the
economic analysis for water users and services;
¾ the methodological guidelines for public participation.
THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE WATER FRAMEWORK DIRECTIVE
IN ROMANIA
Q
From technical point of view:
· GIS sofware –ARC/INFO and adequate hardware;
· observation, measurements, sampling devices
and lab equipment for performing analysis of
parameters provided by the WFD estimated at 17
mil. EURO;
· skilled and adequately-trained human resources;
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE WATER
FRAMEWORK DIRECTIVE IN ROMANIA
ƒ
The implementation of WFD in Romania :
·a continuous and greatly important activity;
· a step-by-step achievement;
·involving significant human and financial resources;
·requiring co-ordination of the all involved parts at
international, national and river basin level
ƒ Romania has committed to elaborate in line with the
provisions of the WFD, the River Basin Management Plan
according to the EC and ICPDR requirements and deadlines.

PRELIMINARY GENERAL MEASURES PLAN FOR IMPLEMENTATION
OF WATER FRAME
WORK DIRECTIVE 2000/60/EC
