SANITARY PROTECTION AREAS OF GROUNDWATERS CATCHMENTS. PRINCIPLES AND PARTICULARITIES. CASE STUDY–BUZAU CITY WATER SUPPLY, ROMANIA
Abstract
Groundwater is an important source of drinking water for many human communities, both urban and rural, their quality directly determining the health state of the population. At European level a great importance is given to water, the Water Framework Directive 60/200/EC establishing clear objectives through which all European waters (including groundwaters) should achieve a “good status” until 2015 and through which water should be used in a sustainable way throughout Europe. In this context, sanitary protection of groundwater is very important for their quality conservation and also for the health state of the people that use it. In Romania, the legal basis regarding the concept and the dimension of the sanitary protection areas is given by the “Water Law”, completed by “The Law regarding the amendment and completion of Water Law no.107/1996”, and by “Decision regarding the approval of special Norms regarding the character and size of sanitary and hydrogeological protection areas”. Gouvernamental Decision 930/2005 stipulates the set up of three protection areas in the field with different degrees of risk towards the pollution factors: the sanitary protection area with severe regime, the sanitary protection area with restriction regime and the hydrogeological protection perimeter. In the same normative act there are also stipulated the principles which are at the basis of the dimensioning of the sanitary protection areas and the delineation of the hydrogeological protection perimeter, specifying the fact that the setting up of these areas must be done after an in-depth analysis of the geomorphological, geological and hydrogeological local conditions. This paper presents, as an example, the dimensioning of the sanitary protection areas and the delineation of the hydrogeological protection perimeter for the Buzau city water supply (98 short and depth wells).
