Küçük Menderes Nehir Havzası Yönetim Planının Hazırlanmasına Yönelik Teknik Destek Hizmet Alımı
River Basin Management Plans (RBMPs) are prepared under the Water Framework Directive (WFD). The main aim of the WFD is to prevent the deterioration of the status of all water bodies and to ensure that candidate countries for the EU achieve "good status." The project is designed to assist the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (Formerly the Ministry of Forestry and Water Affairs) and other stakeholders in implementing EU legislation by applying the concrete requirements of the WFD, in addition to providing support in legal and institutional areas, primarily through economic analysis and tools to increase water efficiency. The overall objective of the project is to prepare a River Basin Management Plan for the Küçük Menderes Basin, which will be used by the General Directorate of Water Management to ensure both quality and quantity of water bodies. More specifically, the aim of this project is to conduct pressure and impact analysis, to determine the current status of water bodies through biological, chemical and hydromorphological monitoring studies; to establish environmental quality standards for each water body; to prepare and implement a monitoring program for surface and groundwater, to develop a Measures Program based on modeling studies to ensure and maintain good status of water bodies; and to ensure the coverage of the total cost of water services, which include environmental costs and resource costs, in accordance with the polluter pays principle.
