Summary of the Analysis of Water Issues in the Siverskyi Donets river and Programme of Measures to Address Them
GROUNDWATER STATUS
GROUNDWATER POLLUTION AND DEPLETION The main measures include engineering and technical solutions aimed at eliminating the sources of groundwater pollution. Additional measures include legal, administrative, monitoring and other groundwater management tools, which are not related to construction and reconstruction. The short list includes measures selected by criteria of feasibility of achieving groundwater status improvement, the magnitude of the impact from the measure (spreading the effect to several or more groundwater bodies), and the need for expeditious implementation of the measure. Most of the proposed measures are recommended for inclusion in the regional environmental protection programmes which are supported through distribution of costs of the Regional Environmental Protection Fund. The most efficient approach for overcoming diffuse groundwater pollution with nitrogen compounds and pesticides in absence of information is to implement pollution-prevention measures.
