Study on Water Source Protection - Case Study of Lake Buhui - Anina City, Caras - Severin County, Romania
摘要
Planning the protection of water sources is a necessity for complying with national legislation in the area of drinking water, namely the Water Law and European legislation - the Water Framework Directive. Adopting a coordinated approach to the protection and sustainable use of water resources, with the cooperation of all stakeholders, it ensures the sustainable use of water resources in long term for people, economy and environment. Buhui Lake is the first artificial lake in Romania, with an area of about 11 hectares, built at an altitude of 640 m for water supplying the Anina city. In the Master Plan Water-Wastewater for Caras-Severin, Buhui Lake will provide the only source of potable water for Anina - Steierdorf agglomerations. It was analyzed the evolution of the indicators for the lake raw water quality depending on the atmospheric regime and the results showed that turbidity and CBO5 are influenced by anthropogenic activity, due to controlled and uncontrolled forestry activities in the area. In these circumstances, the elaboration of the water source protection plan of the Lake Buhui is a necessity, because the activities carried out in the sanitary protection zone of water catchment area may have negative impact on the population. The integrated approach for sustainable management of water resources in the catchment area is a good practice of the European Union to be taken in case of water sources in the country. The plans undertaken to protect water sources we can identify shortcomings and problems and we can set the policy actions to address them.
