The Romanian national accidental and intentional polluted water management system

Abstract

In Romania, the specificity of water resources, namely, the fact that not all the quantity used in the production processes is actually consumed, results in the return of an important part to the source, with damaged quality parameters, which in its turn is the water source for downstream users. The management of industrial and urban wastewaters is far from satisfactory, and require rehabilitation and development measures, while less than 50% of the population is connected to the public sewage system. © 2006 Springer.
