Project Background
There are established 3 monitoring points in Chisinau (Budesti, Singera and Ciocana), but this is not sufficient in order to have an overall information about the state of all small streams and rivers around the capital. The importance given to the small streams is very insignificant.
Goals and objectives
The goal of the project is to raise public awareness on the importance of the small streams protection and conservation and minimize the impact of pollution on water quality and to integrate the SOS methodology into the school programs. The proposed methodology for monitoring of the water quality in the streams is based on the biological monitoring (identification of the macro invertebrates in the streams). The methodology proved to be simple, inexpensive and proper even for schoolchildren.
Activities
- organize workshops for teachers, students and NGOs
- create monitoring groups in a selected number of schools
- extend the number of monitoring points from 3 to 10
- disseminate the information about the river state and water quality (newsletter, brochures)
- clean up the small rivers, collection of wastes, arranging protection measures
Target group
– teachers, students and NGOs
– monitoring groups
– public opinion through newsletter, brochures
Estimated Budget
7 000 USD |
