Study Regarding the Determination of Specific Flows of Wastewater for Urban Areas in Romania

Abstract:

IIn 2007, through the accession of Romania to the European Union, the Government of Romania made the commitment to put into practice the project on implementing the Directive 91/271/EEC concerning urban wastewater treatment. For the second transition phase, according to Directive 91/271/EEC, it is necessary that by December 31^st, 2015 all the localities with over 10,000 inhabitants should be connected to sewage systems containing treatment plants [1].In order for the Government of Romania to comply with its commitment made at the moment of the accession to the European Union, respectively that all the localities with over 10,000 inhabitants should be connected to treatment plants by the end of 2015, it absolutely necessary to concentrate its efforts for the identification of the optimal methods of household wastewater treatment in terms of investment and operating costs for the urban areas.
