    Smart Water Presentation (SWGS)

    Water for Life and Peace Smart Water for Green Schools in Ukraine Mission: providing sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation in Zhytomyr region General Information about Ukraine Location: Central Eastern Europe Capital: Kyiv Area: 603,000 km2 Population: 46 million people Ukraine consists of 24 oblasts and 1 autonomous republic of Crimea Neighbors: Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Moldova, Russian Federation and Belarus Black and Azov Sea wash Ukraine at the South Major Ukrainian rivers: Dnieper (total length of 2285 km), Dniester (1352 km), Southern Bug (806 km), Desna (1187 km), Seversky Donets (1053 km). Ukraine has a large amount of transboundary river basins with the neighboring countries: the Republic of Belarus, the Russian Federation, the Republic of Moldova, Romania, Hungary, the Slovak Republic, Poland. Ukraine is a country with an insufficient water supply - about 1.6 km³ of waters per inhabitant per year. Water Situation in Ukraine 69 percent of the drinking water delivered to homes does not meet sanitary standards in Ukraine. Every year the quality deteriorates, and one of the reasons for this is a catastrophic state of public water supply system. Some 18 thousand cities and villages around Ukraine have no access to safe water. Inhabitants of more then 1’150 settlements have to use imported and/or bottled water and public wells for their daily needs. General Information about Zhytomyr Region The Zhytomyr region is located in the North Western part of Ukraine. It consists of 23 districts including Ovruch and has a population of 1,271,000 people. Nearly half of the population resides in rural areas.
  • 2.5 Ukraine Waterways Assessment

    2.5 Ukraine Waterways Assessment

    2.5 Ukraine Waterways Assessment Ukraine has high potential navigable rivers - over 4 thousand km: there are traditional waterways Dnipro - 1,205 km and its tributaries (Desna- 520 km, Pripyat - 60 km) and Dunay - 160 km, Bug - 155 km, and other so-called small rivers. Dnipro River and its major tributaries Desna and Pripyat carried out to 90% of total transport. The remaining 10% are Dunai and other rivers (Desna, Dniester, Southern Bug, Seversky Donets, Ingulets, Vorskla, etc.). Since Ukraine gained independence in 1991, length of river waterways decreased almost twice (from 4 thousand. Km to 2.1 thousand. Km). At the same time the density of river shipping routes reduced 1.75 times; intensity of freight transport - in 4,3 times, and passenger transportation - 7.5 times The volume of traffic fellt to 60 mln. MT in 1990 to 12 mln. MT in 2006, and then - to 5 mln. MT in 2014. Over the past two or three years, inland waterway transportation is only 0.2 - 0.8% of all the cargo traffic. The main categories of goods that are transported via inland waterway – agricultural products (mainly grain), metal products, chemicals. Company Information Only few companies operate on rivers. First, it is a private company "Ukrrichflot" http://ukrrichflot.ua/en/ , declares the presence of about 100 vessels of various types and their ports and other elements of the port infrastructure. The second important market player - Agrocorporation "NIBULON" http://www. nibulon.com/ . The company owns a private fleet and private river terminals. Dnipropetrovsk River

    Carpathian Rus', 1848–1948 (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1978), Esp

    24 Carpathian Rus ' INTERETHNIC COEXISTENCE WITHOUT VIOLENCE P R M!" e phenomenon of borderlands together with the somewhat related concept of marginal- ity are topics that in recent years have become quite popular as subjects of research among humanists and social scientists. At a recent scholarly conference in the United States I was asked to provide the opening remarks for an international project concerned with “exploring the origins and manifestations of ethnic (and related forms of religious and social) violence in the borderland regions of east-central, eastern, and southeastern Europe.” 1 I felt obliged to begin with an apologetic explanation because, while the territory I was asked to speak about is certainly a borderland in the time frame under consideration—1848 to the present—it has been remarkably free of ethnic, religious, and social violence. Has there never been contro- versy in this borderland territory that was provoked by ethnic, religious, and social factors? Yes, there has been. But have these factors led to interethnic violence? e answer is no. e territory in question is Carpathian Rus ', which, as will become clear, is a land of multiple borders. Carpathian Rus ' is not, however, located in an isolated peripheral region; rather, it is located in the center of the European continent as calculated by geographers in- terested in such questions during the second half of the nineteenth century. 2 What, then, is Carpathian Rus ' and where is it located specically? Since it is not, and has never been, an independent state or even an administrative entity, one will be hard pressed to nd Carpathian Rus ' on maps of Europe.

    Assistance to Undocumented Migrants.DOC

    UKRAINE: Assistance to Undocumented Migrants Project summary: 2004 was an historic year for Ukraine, as it saw the beginning of a new phase in its geopolitical significance. For the first time, a non-Russian member of the ex-Soviet Union has a border with the European Union (EU). Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) wishes to step up its activities in favour of undocumented and other migrants who already use Ukraine as a transit point – now they will be able to enter the EU directly from Ukrainian soil. The State Committee of Ukraine for Nationalities and Migration has predicted that EU expansion will lead to a 17% rise in the number of undocumented migrants entering Ukraine. According to the Ministry of Interior, about 50,000 illegal migrants from more than 45 countries are currently living in Ukraine. They come from China, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Somalia, as well as other former Soviet states in the Caucasus and Central Asia, as well as from conflict zones like Chechnya. In 2003, over 4,000 undocumented migrants were apprehended by Ukrainian border guards, including 2,253 who tried to cross the borders in Zakarpattya and Lviv oblasts. Most of these people ended up in detention camps. At the moment there are three such camps in Zakarpattya, in the towns of Mukachevo, Pavshyno, and Chop. According to Ukrainian law, people arrested at the border must stay in camps until they are identified and finally deported, which can sometimes take up to two months. Initially the camps were not intended to host large numbers of people; therefore, they are constantly overcrowded, especially in spring and summer.

The scale of the package is comparable only with the integration of Eastern European countries into the European Union’s infrastructure in the 1990’s and 2000’s. The Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine has already begun implementing these reforms, embracing all the key areas of the country’s infrastructure - airports, roadways, railways, sea and river ports, and the postal service: • Approximately 2177 kilometers of roadways have been constructed in 2017, and more than 4000 kilometers (state roads) are to be completed in 2018, improving the transportation infrastructure; • A number of investment and development agreements were signed in 2017.
  • Central Ukraine

    Central Ukraine

    © Lonely Planet Publications 98 www.lonelyplanet.com 99 Central Ukraine This region is known as the home of Ukraine’s famed black loam, the rich soil that puts the bread on the table in Ukraine – the ‘breadbasket of Europe’. But you’ll find more than just chornozem (black earth) in this region where Cossacks once roamed. Unbeknownst to many, CENTRAL UKRAINE the land known as Polissya, which lies largely between Kyiv and the Belarusian border to the north, is naturally forested, giving outdoorsy types ample chance to scale cliffs, pick berries, swing birches or sashay in the flowing waters of the region’s many rivers. One can imagine poets being equally content here. South of Kyiv the forests of Polissya yield to the vast flatlands of Podillya. Before WWII this region lay at the heart of the Jewish Pale of Settlement, birthplace of the Jewish shtetl (village). Catherine the Great established the Pale (demarcation line), which stretched north to Lithuania and west into Poland, in the late 18th century to remove Jews from Russia and mark the area in which they were allowed to live. Hasidism was founded in Podillya in the 17th century, and the region is peppered with tombs of Hasidic masters that draw scores of Jewish pilgrims. The Nazis obliterated practically every trace of central Ukraine’s Jewish culture, but the odd poignant reminder remains in the form of a decrepit Jewish cemetery, a forgotten mass burial site or the testimony of an aging eyewitness to the Nazi horror. The jewel of central Ukraine lies at the southern border of Podillya: Kamyanets-Podilsky, a granite ‘island’ in the sky surrounded by the natural moat of the Smotrych River.
