"Waste water and sewage sludge can affect the quality of waters and soils. In response to this, the EU has adopted directives and co-financed the building of collecting systems and waste water treatment plants.The Court checked the implementation of the urban waste water treatment directive in four Member States of the Danube river basin. It also examined a sample of 28 treatment plants, to see how they treated waste water, handled sewage sludge and assured financial sustainability.The Court makes recommendations on reporting, on ways to improve effectiveness, efficiency and the sustainability of treatment plants, on the relevance of concentration limits, on the use of sewage sludge and on monitoring pollutants in sludge." -- Back cover.

"Water pollution in the Danube river basin originates from various sources such as households, industrial installations and agriculture. Under the 2000 water framework directive, Member States adopt river basin management plans which have to include measures to combat this pollution. The Court examined whether the Member States' implementation of the measures of the 2009 plans led to an improvement in water quality."--Publisher's description.
Water Management and Circular Economy covers the role of water in the mainstream dimensions of society, economy, environment/ecology and technology. Along with the under conceptualization of the Circular Economy (CE), the book covers the role of recycling and reusing the otherwise lost sources of waste, gray or untapped water sources towards a second round of utility. This book bridges the gap between water inflows in nature with the wide spectrum of its potential applications in humanity. Sections cover direct and indirect entities conceptualized as "outflows, including water, energy, products and services to urban, suburban, rural and insular contexts of analysis. As such, this content will be important reading for Water Scientists, Water Managers, and civil engineers. - Includes real-world applications and case studies to show how these policies can be adopted - Presents global coverage, with a diverse list of contributors – all of whom are experts in the field - Showcases a multidisciplinary approach, with editors from environmental and managerial backgrounds, thus helping to cross the bridge between social and science fields
Phosphorus Pollution Control – Policies and Strategies Deterioration and decline of water resources due to pollution caused by humans and their activities has become a universal health, environmental, social and economic problem. Excess discharges of nutrients, in particular, phosphorus, has been recognized as the most prevalent water pollution problem globally. Moreover, its perpetual occurrence and expansion creates imminent threats to water and food security. Despite extensive research during the past five decades, many key questions in eutrophication science remain unanswered. This book summarizes the most recent policies and strategies for phosphorus removal and recovery from municipal, residential and agricultural wastewater effluents and runoff into a concise and up-to-date volume. The book will be of interest to environmental and water resources scientists and engineers, consultants, policy makers, and practitioners working in the field.
This book focuses on environmental financing in the process of alignment with the EU. Based on comparative analysis of national environmental strategies and financial needs, and their links with strategic development documents in five selected countries (Bulgaria, Romania, Slovenia, Croatia, Turkey) the book identifies main achievements and remaining challenges in the main areas of environmental regulation: nature protection, water, waste, air and climate change. For each area the same concept is applied: current situation is presented, followed by an overview of institutional and legal frameworks. Division of competences between actors at the same or at different levels is addressed. Costs of implementation are estimated and possible sources of financing identified.
The waste water and sewage sludge from urban agglomerations can affect the quality of Europe's lakes, rivers, coastal waters, groundwaters and soils. As a result, the EU has adopted a series of directives and has also co-financed the building of urban waste water treatment plants. In this report the court analyzes whether EU co-financed treatment plants achieve an adequate level of performance in the treatment of waste water and whether the sludge produced by the plants is being used appropriately. The role of the Commission is also examined.--Publisher's description.
This is the third Environmental Performance Review of the Czech Republic. It evaluates progress towards sustainable development and green growth, with special features on waste, materials management and circular economy and sustainable urban development.
The European Union's Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD) has led national governments, local authorities and industry to invest large amounts of money in controlling water pollution. Today, 15 Member States of the EU have collecting systems in place for 95% of the pollution and secondary treatment for 87%. However, some areas still lack waste water treatment facilities. In the 12 'new' Member States, which start from a lower compliance base, EUR 35 billion will be needed to achieve full implementation of the Directive. The EIB will complement the grants available from the European Commission by co financing networks and treatment facilities in the new Member States. This factsheet is part of the brochure "EIB in the water sector: financing water supply and sanitation."
This book provides a coherent analysis of the environmental challenges and achievements in institutional strengthening and policy reform, environmental policy instruments, environmental financing, and environmental management in enterprises in transition countries.
