Specific objectives

1. To reduce the environmental, economic and social vulnerability of targeted localities in the border region between the Republic of Moldova and Romania against flood risk by enhancing the functional capacities of the Hydro-technical Complex “Stanca-Costesti” (Figure 3).

2. To increase data availability and ensure a high monitoring level of the Siret and Prut River Basins, including the main hydraulic infrastructure as Stanca- Costesti Dam and Reservoir for prevention and protection against floods and accidental pollution events, by installing 32 automated monitoring stations (30 in Ukraine

and 2 on Stanca-Costesti dam - Romania & Rep. of Moldova) (Figure 4).

3. To create maps representing the flooded areas during historic flood events in the Siret and Prut river basins, hazard and vulnerability maps at an adequate scale (using high-resolution satellite images) and risk maps for the Siret and Prut river basins.

4. To design a River Basin Plan for the protection against ice-floods, hydrological drought, accidents occurring at the hydrotechnical constructions and accidental pollutions for the Siret and Prut river basins.
