  2. Who? • 1998 – GWP CEE was founded to manage water resources in a sustainable way in the CEE region • 2000 – helps to implement of EU water legislation on national level • 2005 – GWP CEE experts study on the state of sanitation in agglomeration with less then 2000 inhabitants reveals that: • 20-40% of population in the CEE region are not connected to central sewerage and treatment systems • Solutions of wastewater problems are not envisaged before 2015 • 2006 – GWP CEE established Task Force for Sustainable Sanitation • 2007 – publishing of book „Sustainable Sanitation in Central and Eastern Europe – Addressing the needs of Small and Medium-Size Settlements“

  3. Way? • Countries of the Central and Eastern Europe are actually one of the most developing part of the World. • Investments into sanitation systems are preferably oriented on agglomeration with more then 2000 inhabitatnts. But!!! • 30 Millions inhabitants live in small settlements (< 2000 inhabitants) in GWP CEE countries • Generally there is a lack of information about sustainable sanitation systems for small settlements

  4. What? The new book from GWP CEE!!! Sustainable Sanitation In Central and Eastern Europe - addressing the needs of small and medium settlements

  5. What about? • comprehensive overview of water and sanitation state in the CEE countries • ideas of sustainable sanitation principles • relevant case studies of successful implementation of sustainable approaches to sanitation in the CEE • overview of the EU water legislation related to possible application of alternative and decentralized solutions of sanitation • methodological guidance to an „Open Wastewater Planning Process for Sanitation“

  6. Sorry, what about? Open Wastewater Planning Process for Sanitation • planning tool helping stakeholders to have a creative communication on aims and options, • simple and flexible method for macro- and micro level, • looks for an optimal relation between economic, technical and environmental solutions, • recommends a holistic approach to the water use loop, • changes preconceived thinking, creates a deeper understanding of the objectives for treatment and forces decision makers/other stakeholders to consider the whole system.

  7. To whom? „Sustainable Sanitation in CEE“ available in 13 languages • Polish • Romanian • Slovenian • Slovak • Ukrainian • Russian • English • Bulgarian • Czech • Estonian • Hungarian • Latvian • Lithuanian http://www.gwpceeforum.org/?page=35
