Romania is the beneficiary of an important complex of water resources. As various forms of water pollution can be found, some sources of water become unusable, so that the demand/supply ratio acquires a more complex significance. Generally, fertilizer, livestock industry waste, household effluent can be regarded as the sources of water pollution due to nitrates etc. The Environment Authority has established provisional guidelines concerning the controls on discharge of substances. The principles for the sustainable management of water resources, recommended by Rio Conference (1992), and the European Union regulations, lay at the foundation of the concept of integrated water management in Romania as well, where the problems of water usage are combined with the protection and conservation of natural ecosystems.
