used for satisfaction of drinking, communal and other needs of population;
2. maximum allowable concentrations of substances in water bodies, water of which is
used for fishery needs;
3. permissible concentrations of radioactive substances in water bodies, water of which
is used for satisfaction of drinking, communal and other needs of population.
ecological standard of water quality in water bodies;
standards of maximum allowable discharge of polluting substances;

1.2. Expected Regional and Transboundary Effects of Actual and
Planned Measures
Of the identified in Chapter “Water Quality” hot spots and planned measures on reduction of
transboundary impact the most important are the following:
reconstruction and modernization of wastewater treatment facilities of Izmail cardboard factory
that will result in reduction of adverse impact on the Black Sea coastal waters and fragile
ecosystem of Danube delta;
reconstruction of Uzhgorod wastewater treatment facilities for reduction of nitrogen, phosphorus,
and easily oxidized organic matter (measured as BOD) load. At present the Uzhgorod wastewater
treatment facilities (capacity 50 Th. m 3 per day) operates with 100 Th. m 3 /per day of municipal
wastewater and discharge annually 13 mln. m 3 of insufficiently and untreated municipal
