Workshop Organization x Executive Summary In the frame of the Environmental Danube Programme of the ICPDR and with the assistance of UNDP/GEF, a team of Moldovan experts has elaborated National Reviews, providing information on water quality, analyzing financing mechanisms, describing social and economic framework conditions and developing projects and programs for pollution reduction, improvement of water quality, sustainable management of aquatic ecosystems and protection of resources. These elements, as well as the results of the National Planning Workshop shall constitute a national contribution to the development of the Danube Pollution Reduction Programme and shall provide elements for the revision of the Strategic Action Plan (SAP) of the ICPDR. This present report shows the results of the National Planning Workshop, which took place in Chisinau, Moldova from 27 to 30 July 1998. It is one of 11 national workshops, which have been organized in all participating countries, signatories of the Danube River Protection Convention or adhering to its principles. The Prut River, which is the main river of the Moldovan part of the Danube River Basin (DRB), forms the border between Moldova and Romania. The upstream part of the river belongs to Ukraine. Inappropriate management of different industrial and agricultural enterprises leads to water pollution with high loads of nutrients, micropollutants etc. and strongly influences water quality conditions of the Prut river, creating many problems for surface water use in Moldova. Emission inventories, undertaken in Moldova, showed those pollution loads originating from the Moldovan part of the Danube River basin
