Abstract

The most urgent and current problem facing humanity, at the moment is the deterioration of the environment, which generates a permanent diminution of the health and life of mankind. As has been seen since the earliest forms of life, mankind has fought continuously for competitiveness, profitability, well-being and progress, through all its actions and inactions, which ultimately did nothing but generate major damage to environmental factors: the atmosphere, water and soil, ultimately creating significant degradation to the environment and human health. Water, as a primary factor in the existence of life on earth, has in the meantime become a limited source, an economic, commercial good limited in space and time and almost non-existent in certain geographical areas of the Earth. Although water, as the resource is limited in space and time, it has been subjected to a series of degradations and deteriorations regarding its quality, through all that means the contribution of the human factor, through the actions and inactions for obtaining its progress and well-being. The international and European community has long been aware of the danger of insufficient and degraded quality of water resources, which is why through all forms of awareness it has adopted a series of instruments whose purpose and role are to contribute as much as possible to reducing the degradation of water resources the water. All these problems can be solved through awareness, through cooperation between countries of the world through permanent information, participation in making environmental decisions of citizens, but also in the elaboration of international, European and national programs with research projects that will prevent and contribute to the limitation. degradation of water resources. Such a project is also the European project SIMONA, part of the Transnational Danube Program, carried out by the Geological Institute of Romania, whose main objective is water prevention and pollution.
