  • Description:
    The overall of objective was to reduce the pollution levels of the Barta River catchment area. More specifically, the project planned the establishment of a steering committee that would establish a new public institution for river basin management (the participants of which would be the Ministry for Environment Protection and Regional Development, the Regional Environment Management Agency, eight local governments (Barta, Dunika, Gramzda, Kaleti, Nica, Otanki, Rucava and Virga), the Micro-Euro-region Bartuva Association and the Barta Club), taking into account the various interests of different local, national and international and cross-border and Baltic sea basin stakeholders. Then this new management system was to take over the wastewater and drinking water system management from eight local authorities. Next, the project was to develop in partnership with local authorities and project participants an investment system and complete a prioritising of pilot project places for alternative wastewater treatment and drinking water system reconstruction. The project also aimed to produce a sustainable development indicator list for river basin environment management. Finally, three wastewater and drinking water reconstruction demonstration projects were to be established in small communities of up to 2000 inhabitants. These would be alternative eco-engineering projects such as the establishment of biological ponds, wetlands, and energetic forests, which affect the local drinking-water supply system.
