2. National Targets and Instruments for Water Pollution
Reduction
2.1. Actual State and Foreseeable Trends in Water Management With
Respect to Water Pollution Control
There is pollutants discharge to the Danube basin from municipal wastewater facilities belonging to
Uzgorod, Izmail, Kolomia.
Reduction of the total pollution load allocation (excluding heavy metals) was monitored for basins
of Dnister, Siversky Donetz and Western Bug Rivers. In areas downstream of the large towns
problems with heavy metals still remain and additional construction of the local industrial
wastewater treatment plants should be in consideration to eliminate their impact on the
environment. Basins of the Dnipro and Danube Rivers still remain polluted with oil products,
suspended matters and nitrogen of ammonia. Quality of 6% of the centralized, about 12% of
municipal and 7% of departmental drinking water supply systems is not in compliance with
hygienic and sanitary standards and norms resulting from insufficient quality of abstracted water,
absence of areas with sanitary protection and sanitation equipment. Due to widespread chemical
and bacterial pollution of the local water sources, drinking water resources are insufficient in rural
areas. Each eighth sample of the drinking water taken from the rural drinking water wells and each
third sample from the sources of non centralized drinking water supply do not comply with
bacteriological hygienic standards.
Sometimes in Ukraine arise problems dealing with epidemiological situation on many infection
diseases. Entheroviruses occur in 10 - 15% of raw river water samples and in less than 15% of
marine water samples.
Except the eastern part of Ukraine ground water quality is more stable. Ground waters are impacted
by industrial and mining especially by producing wastewater storage reservoirs and discharges.
