CURRENT SITUATION REGARDING WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IN ROMANIA Mihai BRETOREAN, Rodica MACALET, Tudor MUNTEANU NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HYDROLOGY AND WATER MANAGEMENT BUCHAREST

INTRODUCTION The problems of the waters resources of Romania, both of the surface and groundwaters, as well as of their use in urban and rural environment, in industry and agriculture, of their management in emergency situations how are the floods, soil erosion, drought, humidity excess, represents provocations for Romanian research, particularly if we take into account the fact that the water constitutes a very vulnerable resource, often subdued to some pollutant agents, restrictive for the economic and social development of any country. Romania pertains to the Danube international river basin. For the Romanian territory, including the coastal waters of the Black Sea, the management plan of this international river basin is in course of elaboration, on the basis managing schemes of waters management and development.

INSTITUTIONS RESPONSIBLE In Romania, the organisational structure in water management domain, beginning from the central authority in water domain to county level, comprises hierarchically the following institutions: - Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development; Waters Department; - National Administration Apele Române ; - National Institute of Hydrology and Water Management; - National Institute of Research-Development for Environment Protection – ICIM; - National Institute of Marine Research-Development Grigore Antipa Constanţa; - National Institute of Research-Development Delta Dunării Tulcea; - Water Directions which correspond to the eleven river basins; - Systems or exploitations of water management at counties level.

MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR RIVER BASINS (1) In 2009 in Romania it will elaborate the Management Plan for each river basin, which will be transmited at European Commission (General Direction of Environment) and to the International Commisssion for Protection of Danube river Vienna. The Director Plan for water development and management of river basin comprises two components: Management plan af river basin; Management plan af river basin; Development plan of river basin. Development plan of river basin. The coordinator Ministry in Romania for the realisation of the Management Plan is the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development and the National Administration Apele Romane. The responsible institutions are presented in the Figure 1.

MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR RIVER BASINS (2) The National Management Plan of the waters in Romania is the component part of Management Plan of Danube River Basin (MPDRB). The objectives of Management Plan are the followings: - the achievement of the good status of waters in 2015; - the uniform protection of waters from spring to river mouth; - insurance of the same life conditions from water resources point of view for all Romanian citizens. The content of Management Plan comprises the followings: v description of river basin characteristics; v identification of pressures and evaluation of impact on water resources; v identification and mapping protected areas; v integrated monitoring of waters; v economical analysis for water services and users; v evironmental objectives; v measures programme.

GROUNDWATER VS. SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT ISSUES (1) The groundwater resources of Romania are estimated at ca. 500 m 3 /year/inhabitant representing ca. ¼ from surface water resources of internal rivers. The groundwaters are a little exposed to the water quality degradation, are of good quality, reason for which they are particularly used for the drinkable water supply, representing ca. 40 % from total water resources for this utilization. There are extended areas in Romania (e.g. the Dobrogea-Litoral river basin - ca. 10,000 km 2 ) where the water supply is exclusively realised from groundwaters. The surface water resources are the most accesible for the water supply on the whole country territory but they have a great variability in space and time, existing years in which water resources of rivers deacrease until 1/3 from the normal ones.

GROUNDWATER VS. SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT ISSUES (2) As a consequence, for the satisfaction of water demands of utilizations in Romania there were achieved over 250 large dams more important from a total of ca and storage reservoirs and a big number of interbasinal derivations which redistributes in space and time the surface water resouces. The surface water resources are the first affected by the drought phenomenon frequent on a big part of the Romanian territory. The groundwaters users are often the last affected by drought but they can also be the last at which it rehabilitates the normal level of water. It is noteworthy that in Romania the water resources management, both of the surface and groundwaters, is accomplished at river basin level, demanding a integrated management of these resouces.
