This research project aims to study the possible uses of the
“water footprint” instrument in order to improve the sustainable
management of water resources, considering the interactions
between stakeholders.
The main elements of originality proposed by this project are the
integration aspects of this instrument, water footprint, and
contributions to its development and adaptation so as to improve
the efficiency of water resource management. The two stages of
studying the water footprint assessment, the calculation and the
impact and risk assessment are very important issues in
formulating strategies for an efficient use of water resources.
Description
The project activities will be conducted by using the following
logical sequence: critical analysis of the water resources
management at the industrial facility or regional level, a case
study related on the “water footprint” instrument use for an
industrial activity, highlighting the major impacts and risks and
at the end, a final verification related to how this tool can
respond to various changes that may occur in the sustainable use
of water resources in Romania. The study also will follow up on
the possibility of integrating this tool with other specific
instruments such as integrated impact and risk assessment or life
cycle assessment in order to reduce the risk of pollution and
anthropogenic impacts on water resources.

Nanotechnology plays an essential role in the textile industry. It
involves a controlled manipulation of nanoscale structures and
their integration into larger materials, of different scales. In the
textile field, nanotechnology refers mainly to the fabrication of
nanofibers or the surface modification of fibers or fabrics. In
order to produce nanofibers the electrospinning method is used.
Description Its principle is based on drawing a jet of polymer solution
through the electrical field in order to obtain synthetic fibers at
nanoscale. The diameter of the obtained fibers can are in the
range of 10-1000nm. Due to the unique properties of the carbon
nanotubes (CNT), the study is focused on obtaining polymer
nanofibers charged with (CNT) using the electrospinning
method. The polymer used is PA6. The electrospinning of the
polymer solution was made with different parameters. The
