Safety of the drinking water supply by the public water supply system and sanitation of waste waters with content of the dangerous (specific) substances is one the main priorities of the water management in Moldova. High effort has been already paid to this issue. However there are still some shortcomings in the legislation, institutional set up, technical and expert capacities. Based on this knowledge the main objective of the project was defined as follows: “Improvement of safety of drinking water and needs for sanitation of the waste water by the programme of the pollution reduction for the dangerous substances” More specifically, following will be achieved: • An overall improvement of the safety system for drinking water and estimation of the risks in the supply system in Moldova; • An overall improvement of the knowledge of quantitative of pollution reduction from the waste waters with content of the dangerous substances and its implementation in the pilot river basin in Moldova Considering the main goal and outcomes of the project the following results are expected: 1. Processing of mechanism for safety of the drinking water from public supply systems in Moldova. Following products will be delivered: • Methodology for the analysis of the risk assessment and hot points in the drinking water supply systems; • Water Safety Plan for the drinking water • Control analysis of the drinking water samples; • Training the drinking water experts. 2. Development of the tool to establish the quantitative level of the pollution reduction for the dangerous substances in the field of the waste water sanitation. Following products will be delivered: • Methodology for the development of the List of the dangerous (specific) substances in the pilot river basin; • List of the dangerous (specific) substances; • Surface water quality survey (water and sediments) for the dangerous substances in the pilot river basin. Considering the fact that Moldova signed the Association Agreement with EU on accession the project results will contribute to implementation of the requirements related to the drinking water and waste water pollution reduction in Moldova. The sustainability of the project results is ensured through annual support from the state budget as well as from international grants that are planned for Moldova from the EU and also from other resources for the whole region of Eastern Europe. Due to fact that experts from both sides of the project are experienced in the field of water management and participation on the international project will ensure that defined objectives will be achieved. During the preparation of the project, the political situation in Moldova has been identified as the only possible risk due to conflict in Ukraine.
