proper dejection storage/usage systems; the localities identified as vulnerable zones
to pollution from nitrates from agricultural sources; the industrial deposits; the noncomplying waste storage systems; the abandoned industrial sites, etc. The point and
diffuse pollution sources contribute to chemical pollution. The main pressures are
represented by the human agglomerations, industry, agriculture and land use manner. The types and size of the hydromorphological pressures were defined based
on the recommendations within the CIS orientation Document No. 3—Pressures
and impacts (IMPRESS) and on the criteria of the regional UNDP-GEF project of
the Danube, which take into account the hydrotechnical works, the magnitude of
pressure and their effects on the ecosystems. The hydromorphological pressures are
as follows: dams; spillways; regulations and damming; derivations; bank defenses;
navigable paths/channels; water captures/restitutions; navigation; future infrastructure projects, etc. [93]. On the Romanian territory, over 2500 protected areas were
identified, of which 1879 areas are destined for drinking water capturing (Table 2.4).
The surface and groundwaters are monitored within surveillance programs and
separate operational programs, drafted up in conformity with the demands of the
Framework-directive regarding the water (Fig. 2.4; Table 2.5). The monitoring program is permanent. All the monitoring points were defined as surveillance points.
The networks for the surveillance monitoring and for operational monitoring are
identical. A monitoring point may belong to several programs for the surface waters,
