8 Hidrológiai Közlöny 1977. 1. sz Murawski Tadeusz: A magyar vízminöségszabályozási UN DP /WHO and monitoring network for the remaining duration of the project. This work resulted also in preparing a demonstration programme on project planning and execution and provided a case study for other UNDP supported environmental projects. The experience gained during those works on the Hungarian project has been presented so, and discussed with, the professional staff and Project Managers concerned working on environmental protection projects in other European countries, in the site of the European Office of the World Health Organization, 8—12 July 1974, in Copenhagen. A hierarchy of objectives (shown on figure Nr 3) was developed with the Hungarian project participants and this served for developing a comprehensive PERT-Monitoring Network, which has been formally approved by the Government. This PERT-network includes timing of activities, deadlines for performance, and identification of the Critical Path, i. e. the sequence of activities where no float of time exists. For strenghtening project execution, an advisory body to the Project, called Governing Board has been established, and controls the execution of project activities. This Governing Board, headed by Dr. G. Illyés, Vice-president of the Hungarian National Authority (NWA) held periodic meetings in 1973, 74 and 75 on evaluation of project works. For a better understanding the way and mechanism of controlling the project execution some information is given below referring to that prodcedure

: Project Monitoring. The progress reporting period starts when the project manager arrives in the field. Normally a Project Progress Report is prepared every six months. The Project Progress Report should give a factual account of the progress of project implementation and an identification and analysis for major achievements and problems. The project manager is responsible for preparing his Progress Report. Copies of the Progress Report are distributed to the Governmental Agencies, to UNDP and WHO. Moreover, each month the execution of project-tasks involved in the PERT-Monitoring Network is controlled. Tripartite Review. Project monitoring in the form of project progress reporting is reinforced by tripartite reviews which are held periodically, usually at the project site, and carried out jointly by the government, the executing agency and the UNDP. Such reviews take place at least once every twelve months. Mid-Project Evaluation. This important element of the controlling mechanism used for project evaluation is a kind of a detailed, meritorical review made on the project-side by representative of UNDP and WHO, in close collaboration with the counterpart specialists. This review, made usually after the middle of the project life (in the Hungarian project this was after twoand-half year of project execution) — is aimed to assess the experience gained so far and to make specific recommendations as to any changes required. The MidProject-Evaluation of the present Project was made in late November 1974. Project Terminal Reporting. An Agency Terminal Report is required from the Executing Agency (WHO) on all UNDP-financed projects towards the end of their period of operation. The Agency Terminal Report is a concise summary of project results, findings, conclusions and recommendations directed to the government. The project manager is responsible for preparing the Agency Terminal Report in consultation with the WHO's Regional Office staff and as necessary, with the government and the UNDP Regional Office. The draft report, after being reviewed, and evtl. revised by the executing agency (WHO), and after preparing, by UNDP, the Terminal Assessment Report, is than finalized by WHO, and submitted formally to the Government either directly by the UNDP Regional Office or through UNDP headquarters. The Agency Terminal Report is submitted to the government as a restricted document. However, certain reports contain technical information of wider interest to other parties. Where the executing agency (WHO) or the UNDP recommends wider distribution, the government is being requested either through the UNDP or the WHO to derestrict the report. According to the Mid-Project Evaluation made in November 1974—evidence of advanced and competent scientific work, in each of the project subject areas, was shown, and the project had made substantial progress towards achieving the objectives. Detailed recommendations were given and adopted during the Evaluation for elaborating the regional water quality management (RWQM) model in the Pilot Zone I (Sajó) and suggestions were made for integration of all activities related to this work. As result of the discussions held on that topic, the ,,RWQM Modelling Activity Flow Diagram", and the „Amendments to PERTMonitoring Network" were elaborated and are being now observed, and executed. As to Pilot Zone 11 (Danube) it was decided (during the Mid-Project Evaluation) to shift from formal water quality modelling and investment optimization to longitudinal and lateral hydraulic, water quality and mixing characterization, on that portion where the Danube forms a common boundary between Czechoslovakia and Hungary. Moreover it has been agreed that the Pilot Zone II should be extended downstream of the reach under investigation to the North Budapest railroad bridge and that the polluting effect of storm water runoff should also be studied. The topics discussed and adopted during the Mid-Project Evaluation resulted in the modification of the PERT-Monitoring Network for the remaining project life. It should be underlined that as a result of the Mid-Project Evaluation discussed above a so called "Optimization Team" for the RWQM model activities in the Pilot Zone I Sajó has been established, and a Team working on the dispersion and descriptive water quality modelling activities has been created for the reach investigated on the Danube River (Pilot Zone 11). Further progress in scientific, technical work was made in all subject areas of the project since the mid-project evaluation, and all the scheduled midterm reports, and other documents have been elaborated on target dates. The major project achievements and accomplishments thus far are as follows

: — the three automatic water quality monitoring stations (AWQMS) to be constructed and installed in Pilot Zone I, Sajó, are in operation and will form for the Sajó Region an integrated information system controlled by a Regional Center developed at the DWA Miskolc. — two additional AWQMS-stations (beyond the scope of the project) are presently under construction or in the running-in period in the boun-
