Laufzeit: 2 Jahre

Projektinformationen

The work proposed aims to identify the impact of transition processes on the real environmental changes, to identify the impact of transition processes on changes in environmental standards and risk assessment criteria related to toxic elements, to review suitable remediation options, to develop methods of prioritising urgent action areas (hot spots) at the territory of Tajikistan and Uzbekistan in the context of transition processes, and to derive recommendations for risk management strategies in order to improve and secure environmental conditions and water resources. So far, a systematic description of present industries and wastewater relevant sources and processes is totally missing. Hence, the project results will provide essential and novel key information which will support especially the use of environmental technologies. The project will also address the reasoning behind postponing current and future water scarcity issues. Gaining this understanding and advertising potential risk factors to the public domain will contribute to an adapted and improved risk planning and better preconditions for corresponding multi-stakeholder negotiations.
