4) Programme of measures Prevention and control of diffuse pollution (niter) Adaptation of the water treatment plants Management of the water public infrastructure Reactivation of the natural water processes Separation of the sewer system Management of the minimum ecological flow 3)Environmental objectives 2) Human pressure and environmental impacts 5) Budget for the measures Costs estimate Financial requirements THE WATER MANAGEMENT PLANNING (PTA E PDG PO) COMPLIES WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE WATER FRAMEWORK DIRECTIVE 2000/60 CE ) Groundwater and surface water status Different settings at the same time River Contracts

PROGRAMMES OF MEASURES WATER: A COMPLEX SYSTEM REGULATIONS COMMUNITIES region municipalities provinces associations enterprises citizens water soils Human ecosystems Natural ecosystems air TERRITORY Several actors Several sectors TOWARDS INTEGRATION: WITH WHICH TOOL? TERRITORIAL AGREEMENTS: RIVER CONTRACTS
