pressures were compiled in accordance with the EU Guidance on Reporting of the
Updated Management Plan, like punctual, diffuse pressures, hydromorphological
alterations (including water leakage), quantitative pressures for groundwater, other
anthropogenic pressures, unknown pressures.
3.2.1 Significant Point Sources of Significant Pollution
in Romania
In establishing the potentially significant pressures—point sources, a set of criteria
has been applied which has led to the identification of potentially significant punctual
pressures, taking into account the discharges of treated or impure waters into surface
water resources.
For determining the diffuse potential significant pressures, the following are considered the main categories of diffuse pollution sources:
– human agglomerations/localities that do not have wastewater collection systems
or adequate sludge collection and disposal systems in sewage treatment plants as
well as localities with non-compliant household waste dumps;
In Romania, there are 1917 human agglomerations (>2000 p.e.) with a total
organic load of 19,912,886 p.e., considered as potentially significant pressures.
– agriculture: agro-zootechnical farms that do not have adequate systems of storage/
utilization of manure, localities that do not have collection systems centralized
individual with manure platforms, units using pesticides that do not comply with
the legislation in force, other agricultural units/activities that may lead to significant
diffuse emissions;
Romania is now one the few EU countries that have designated its entire territory
a Nutrient Vulnerable Zone. The Code of Good Agricultural Practices was duly
developed, establishing the rules for proper management of manure coming from
animal farms and for maximum quantities of N, P and K in crops fertilizers allowed
by the Nitrates Directive [100].
– industry: warehouses for raw materials, finished products, auxiliary products, noncompliant waste storage, units producing diffuse accidental pollution, abandoned
industrial sites.
This chapter includes an analysis of the most recent data on the status of water
quality in WFD implementation in Romania as it was presented in the interim report
on compliance as of December 31, 2016, sent to the EC, validated and published in
WISE WFD database in July 2018 [63]. These data have been validated by those
from scientific literature published in the ISI journals, related to water pollution
in Romania. For the graphic materials have been used licensed software programs,
based on information and cartographic materials from www.eea.europa.eu/data-andmaps/ [62].
