Legislation

• The legal framework is complex and complicated, currently under a
  process of simplification
• Water Management in Romania is regulated by Water Law
  107/1996
• National water legislation has been adjusted to EU legislation

Water Supply & Treatment

WATER DEMAND
• The total gross water consumption reached 6.98 billion m3
  in 2007:
   – industry 4.84 billion m3 (leader: 78% of national water resources)
   – population 1.05 billion m3
   – agriculture 1.09 billion m3 (main reduction)
• Dramatic decrease        1990: 20.4 billion
• Main water usage sectors: food & beverages, chemical, textile
• Government measures to increase water efficiency:
   – Increasing the tariff for industrial water
   – Restricting ground water usage for industrial processes
   – Upgrade production technologies and water treatment
     plants
Water Supply & Treatment
CURRENT SITUATION

• Population benefiting of both services – 52%;
• Population benefiting of sewerage system –
       • 90% of the total urban population
       • 10% of the total rural population
• Population benefiting neither of water supply nor sewerage system –
  32%
• Water supply in a centralized system covers:
           – 87.6% of urban areas
           – 15.1% of rural areas (most households obtain water from
             individual wells     intensely-polluted water table
• Infrastructure is still outdated and poorly-equipped for exploitation
Water Supply & Treatment

Transitional periods agreed with EU

• for compliance with the acquis for wastewater collection,
  treatment and discharge - by 2015 for a number of 263
  agglomerations of more than 10,000 population equivalent (p.e.) and
  by 2018 in 2,346 agglomerations of between 2,000 and 10,000 p.e

• for compliance with Directive No 98/83/EC on drinking water quality
  for various parameters, in phases by 2015 (for 1774 agglomerations
  of less than 10,000 p.e. and for 134 agglomerations of more than
  10,000 p.e.),

                      Most of the interim deadlines are before 2013!
Water Supply & Treatment
•   Water supply has been the focus of more investments and
    significantly improved through pre-accession programs (ISPA,
    SAPARD, PHARE) + SAMTID
•   Current programs approach water supply and water treatment as a
    package
•   Regionalization of public utilities IN PROGRESS
     – Regional Operating Companies created in agglomerations (over 10,000
        inhabitants) per river basin or administrative region
     – Can hold a monopoly over a region or can focus on a smaller area,
        even a punctual location
     – Some communities (rural) will not be covered by the ROC in their region
        (too small, poor infrastructure, etc.)
Water Supply & Treatment
 REGIONALIZATION OF PUBLIC UTILITIES

 Local Councils
       •local strategies
       •investment plans
       •approval of regulations and specifications of the service
       •approval of service performance indicators

 Intercommunity Development Associations
       •cooperation structures, legal personality, public utility
       •jointly accomplish certain development projects of zonal or regional
       interest or jointly provide certain public services

 Regional Operating Companies (Roc)
       •replace the existing smaller operators and autonomous regia’s
       •more effective in operating the services
       •able to acquire sufficient managerial and financial credibility to apply for
       and obtain EU Cohesion Fund financing.

REGIONALIZATION OF PUBLIC UTILITIES
Water Supply & Treatment
REGIONALIZATION OF PUBLIC UTILITIES

  NATIONAL REGULATING AUTHORITY FOR LOCAL PUBLIC SERVICES
  (ANRSC)
   – Subordinated to the Ministry of Administration and Internal Affairs
   – Grants functioning permits to operators
   – Endorses water tariffs proposed by operators prior to approval by local
     authorities
   – Issues frame-regulations and specifications for local authorities in
     managing public services
   – Can inflict penalties
   – Monitors the fulfillment of performance indicators
Water Supply & Treatment
WATER MARKET
• Raw water is administrated by NAAR          monopoly over raw water
  trade
• Water operators (WO; majority ROCs) buy raw water from NAAR
  and sell it to the public
• WOs must obtain a license to operate a water & sewage system
  from ANRSC          both services are usually provided by the same WO
• Economic mechanism in the water sector (payments, bonuses,
  penalties)      finances NAAR and the development of the sector
• Water management costs must be recovered            government-
  regulated tariffs are paid by WOs and industrial/agricultural users
• WOs set the price for the final consumer (population)
• WO prices are approved by LCs and ANRSC
Water Supply & Treatment
WATER MARKET

• Over 120 companies (including ROCs) hold licenses to operate a
  water & sewerage system
• Water and sewerage infrastructure remain public property (except
  concession to Apa Nova for 25 yrs, in Bucharest and Ploiesti)
• Sector most poorly covered in the market    waste water treatment
• Market for technologies, equipment and consultancy services
    high demand for upgrade
• Local operators and installers need partners to provide advanced
  knowledge and technology
• Technical assistance and expertise needed by relevant public
  authorities
River Basin Management

• By 2009, National Management Plans will be completed
  implemented by River Basin Committees
• Surface water has been carefully monitored since 2007
   – national water monitoring system implemented at basin level
• Flood management:
     The European Flood Directive not fully transposed into national
     legislation
     Implemented
       • Integrated Weather System (SIMIN), Destructive Water Abatement and
         Control (DESWAT),Informational System for Integrated Water
         Management (WATMAN)
       • Hazard Risk Mitigation and Emergency Preparedness (World Bank)
     Flood Risk Management Plans are under development for each river
     basin
• Drought management:
       • Regulations regarding the management of the emergency situations
       • Plans for restrictions and water usage in deficit periods
       • Methodology for exploitation of dykes, artificial lakes, water inlets

• IWRM is a Romanian government policy objective fundamental
  principle to be applied in water management.
• 2002     GLOBAL WATER PARTNERSHIP ASSOCIATION
  ROMANIA (GWP-RO)

     institutions, universities and NGOs
   – active participation in the IWRM process
   – facilitates cross-sectorial public involvement and public participation.
   – technical informative books, workshops, seminars, meetings
• IWRM results so far in Romania:
   – increased understanding and planning efforts
   – basis for River Basins Management Plans
   – basis for Romanian National Report required by UN
            – Cooperation in the area of IWRM with the Netherlands and
              Germany
            – ME released the Guide for promotion of the research in the
              domain of IWRM
