Introduction
Main objective of the project:
to demonstrate
Innovative + Cost-ef ective solutions
to the typical environmental problems
faced in Upper Tisza floodplain
with guidelines for their further replication

---

Project components:
1. Improvement of communal waste
management system
Two goals:
1. to develop vil age solid waste
management system
2. to introduce separate waste
col ection (plastic bot les)
Methods:
· capacity building of municipal
services ( purchasing of containers
and press)
· Environmental awareness raising
campaigns

---

Progress so far (1)
· Around 350 containers purchased
· Press obtained
1st permanent Unit of PLASTIC
RECYCLING is established in
Rakhiv rayon
Contribution of Velyky Bychkov vil age council
and Ecobat Shuravi:
Discounts on the costs of containers
Platforms for the containers for glass paper
Sustainable operation of the system

---

Progress so far (2)
· Joint UA-RO environmental campaign
"Two banks ­ One clean Tisza"

---

Sustainability and replication:
· Further spreading of the waste management
system for the whole REGIONAL PLANS TO
DEVELOP WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Rakhiv region - with involvement of Velyky
Bychkiv
· Plans to col ect separately also glass and paper

---

Project components:
2. Local flood protection plan
Flood July 2008 ­ most of
damage done by in-vil age
streams
Elaboration of dif erent
scenarios of in-vil age stream
flood management depending on
water level in Tisza
+
Design and construction works

---

Results to be archived:
· FIRST LOCAL Flood Management Plan-- shift of
attention from large rivers to small streams
· One of the first applications of requirements of EU
FLOOD DIRECTIVE: development of flood risk and flood
hazard maps
· Close public involvement and PUBLIC CONSULTATION --
key to sustainability
· PRACTICAL ACTIONS with involvement of public
(cleaning of riverbed, creation of retention pond etc--to
be defined)

---

Project components:
3. Restoration of habitats
Ukraine
· FIRST SCIENTIFIC METHODOLOGY of friendly
habitat restoration at mountainous creeks by
Institute of Hydrobiology;
· On-job training of forest enterprise stuf
· RIVER TROUT as indicator of the habitat
restoration

transboundary part of
Tisza
Boarding school
The actual co-finding from the side of Rakhiv regional
administration ­ is more than 50% of the project
(preparatory works and sewage works)

Tisza ­ the catchment 286 2)
· LARGE partner contribution ­ equipment
(Zakarpattya Hydromet)
Additional co-financing ­ provision of a regular stuf of
