9. Sanitation <strong>of</strong> the Quality <strong>of</strong><br />
Underground <strong>Water</strong> as a Source<br />
<strong>of</strong><br />
Drinking <strong>Water</strong> <strong>and</strong> Strengthening<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Public Participation Action<br />
plan involves further activity:<br />
• Underground water<br />
monitoring<br />
• Preparing the project for<br />
building a lysimeter<br />
• Building the measurements<br />
shaft for lysimeter<br />
• Advising to the farmers<br />
• Providing information for the<br />
public<br />

Activities<br />
organic farming, integrated plant production<br />
organic farming; integrated plant production;<br />
maintenance <strong>of</strong> green covering during winter<br />
(prevention <strong>of</strong> erosion <strong>and</strong> nitrogen leaking);<br />
sound management <strong>of</strong> manure; a balanced<br />
input <strong>of</strong> nitrogen <strong>and</strong> other plant nutrients into<br />
soil; point source pollution<br />
Project activities in the EU acceding countries have clearly become more focused upon applied<br />
research relating to water pollution from agricultural sources, rather than the large-scale investmenttype<br />
projects found in other DRB countries. This is largely due to the fact that the EU acceding<br />
countries are no longer targeted by donors, such as the EU, for such projects. Instead technical<br />
assistance has come to focus upon capacity building for policy development <strong>and</strong> implementation,<br />
including building stronger links again between research <strong>and</strong> policy-making.<br />
Promotion <strong>of</strong> Best <strong>Agricultural</strong> Practice<br />
Concept <strong>of</strong><br />
GAP/BAP<br />

Erosion<br />
Yes � � � �<br />
Description These are more like “Verifiable st<strong>and</strong>ards”, because these are supposed to be<br />
controllable, simple <strong>and</strong> not numerous (will become even more simple in RDP). One <strong>of</strong><br />
the reasons is there are enough st<strong>and</strong>ards already in legislation.<br />
How is information<br />
available to farmers?<br />
Are there any special<br />
projects or<br />
programmes for<br />
promoting GAP/BAP?<br />
Published annually <strong>and</strong> attached to application form for support<br />
Only in case <strong>of</strong> Code <strong>of</strong> Good Farming Practice towards nitrates there is massive<br />
campaign (web pages, training, seminars etc.)<br />
