3. Actual and Planned Projects and Policy Measures for<br />

Reduction of Water Pollution<br />

3.1. Reduction of Water Pollution from Municipalities<br />

The municipal wastewater discharges into rivers have major impact on river water quality in term<br />

of nutrient loads and bacteriological pollution. Ukrainian municipal wastewater treatment systems<br />

have very special feature comparing to the many European countries: many industrial enterprises<br />

directly discharge their wastewater into municipal sewer system. That is why municipal wastewater<br />

discharges potentially are the source of serious pollution source with heavy metals and persistent<br />

organic micropollutants.<br />

3.2. Reduction of Water Pollution from Agriculture<br />

General remarks<br />

Reduction of agricultural pollution will require careful feasibility studies with consideration of<br />

inevitable economic growth in the Danube River basin. Current economic crisis and transition to<br />

market economy and private ownership dramatically changed the sectoral industrial and<br />

agricultural structures. As has been mentioned in Part C the overall fertilizer use, pesticide<br />

application decreased sometimes 10 fold comparing with the 80-s. The major reasons for these<br />

reductions are high prices for these goods and low pollution income.<br />

None of the projects on reduction of agricultural pollution has been proposed by regional<br />

administrations. Nevertheless pilot projects for assessment of overall agricultural pollution in the<br />

Odessa region at the territory along the river Danube with following expanding of activities<br />

throughout whole Danube River basin are considered as a useful ones. The problem will be among<br />

the most urgent because existing statistical data are not valid. Cost estimates for the project is USD<br />

500.000.<br />

All measures and projects are presented as a state or regions programmes with the figures showing<br />

the total funds for the region or state. Taking into account that the regions’ territory includes<br />

different river basins it is impossible for the time being to extract the figures especially for the<br />

Danube basin.<br />

All data available on the state level (Ministries and State Agencies) are integrated, which presents<br />

the necessary funds for the measures but not for the projects. The information about the projects is<br />

available only on the local level.<br />
