5th Mission Report _KE3_March-April 2013It is important that all the national water monitoring departments are fully prepared for the imminentsurface water JFS. Therefore the KE3 reviewed the chemical and hydrobiological sampling and analyticalequipment with each country and this information is detailed in the recent “Updated Surface WaterTraining Report.In Moldova Hydromet requested that a review was made by the KE3 of the Water Sampling Department.This included submitting an on-site training session at Westmurka Reservoir on 10th April. This inputproved useful and seven issues were raised and recommendations were submitted to improve theirsampling procedures and/or equipment.It was recommended that the KE3 submits a Sampling Manual to assist the samplers for taking Chemical/Physical Samples and the Senior NKE Biology draft a manual on taking hydrobiological samples, prior tothe JFS.It had been proposed that two extra NKEs for biology would be recruited especially for the JFS. The KE3interviewed three possible candidates in Kiev using agreed evaluation forms that had been prepared asshown in Annex 6. One candidate for the Junior BMI position had been recommended.Outputs1) An on site training course was submitted in Moldova on Chemical/ Physical sampling by KE3.2) Seven issues were raised and recommendations for improving procedures and equipment weresubmitted.3) The KE3 reviewed the chemical and hydrobiological sampling and analytical equipment with eachcountry and this information is detailed in the recent “Updated Surface Water Training Report”.Public Awareness ( Activity 2.7)In Moldova a high profile meeting with the Environment Minister, George Şalaru, and Vice Minister,Valentina Tapic together with Gavril Gilca & Svetlana Stirbu, SHS Senior Managers, was arranged todiscuss the Project with the CWME and KE3. This proved to be a fruitful meeting and the Minister wasvery supportive of the Project and the important inputs by KE3. The details of this meeting and the Projectwere immediately downloaded on to their public website and are detailed in annex 1.OutputFollowing a meeting between KE3 and CMWE and the Minister of Environment, an article was publishedin the Moldovan MOE website detailing to the public the information concerning the mission of KE3 andthe details of the Project.Activity 2.5 Development of national and basin-wide Programmes of Measures.Whilst the KE3 was discussing the JFS at Moldova Hydromet, the senior management were concernedabout other water quality monitoring procedures. These included on-line monitoring and Early Warningand Emergency Response Systems (EWERS), which should also be considered as a means of installingmeasures for protecting water bodies at risk. This has been planned to be addressed later in the project,but this was a useful opportunity to consider some future options for resolving some gaps that wereidentified. These options include:i.) renting water quality sensors to integrate with their new hydrology monitoring systems;ii.) investigate the application of water quality monitoring software used in other EU IRBM projectsthat the KE3 has successfully applied.Page 12 of 23
5th Mission Report _KE3_March-April 2013Annex 1 - Copy of Moldova Ministry of Environment Website Publicity on the ProjectToday, April 11, Environment Minister George Şalaru had a meeting with key expert for the project"Environmental Protection in International River Basin" Michael Jackman, who was on a mission at theState Hydrometeorological Service (SHS).Introduction to the topic for discussion was made by Deputy Valentina Tapis, who said that project isfunded by the European Union under the "European Neighbourhood Policy Initiative (ENPI) countries inEastern Europe and Russia" and implemented by Hull & Hyman Dynamics Consortium during 2012-2015. It aims to protect and efficient management of water resources in international river basins,especially in the Black Sea region as a continuation of activities started earlier in the international projectsimplemented in the Black Sea region. Key Expert, Michael Jackman, explained to the Minister Gh.Şalaruthat the implementation of the project included visiting the State Hydrometeorological Service (SHS), withthe task of investigating the laboratories of the Department of Environmental Quality Monitoring SHS. Hewas focusing on with the analysis of chlorinated pesticides in surface waters and international standardmethods for the examination of the application subsequent analysis of the parameters set.Page 13 of 23
