  1. Directive 2000/60/ЕС establishing a framework for the Community action of water policy (Water Framework Directive)
  2. Directive 2008/56/ЕС establishing a framework for community action in the field of marine environmental policy (Marine Strategy Framework Directive)
  3. Directive 91/676/EEC concerning the protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources (Nitrates Directive)
  4. Directive 98/83/ЕС on the quality of water intended for human consumption (Drinking Water Directive)
  5. Directive 91/271/EEC concerning urban waste-water treatment (Urban Waste Water Directive)
  6. Directive 2007/60/ЕС on the assessment and management of flood risks (The Floods Directive)

One of the main tasks of the EUWI+ is to support Ukraine in development of the Dnipro River Basin Management Plan. Within the framework of the EUWI+ project (by August 2020), the first five components of RBMP will be developed for Dnipro River Basin District:

  1. General description of the characteristics of the river basin district.
  2. Summary of significant pressures and impact of human activity on the status of surface water and groundwater
  3. Identification and mapping of protected areas;
  4. Mapping of monitoring networks and presentation of results
