The project aims to improve and maintain soil and water quality in the cross-border region through targeted infrastructure upgrades and knowledge-sharing initiatives. It focuses on enhancing wastewater management and ensuring environmental sustainability in the Malá Domaša and Velykyi Bereznyi areas.

Key activities and objectives include:

  1. Intensification of the Wastewater Treatment Plant in Malá Domaša
    The existing wastewater treatment plant will be upgraded to serve a capacity of 1,000 inhabitants. This measure will significantly reduce environmental pollution, improve the quality of discharged water, and contribute to the long-term protection of soil and water resources in the region.

  2. Expert Workshop on Innovative Wastewater Treatment Methods
    An expert-level workshop will be organized to introduce and discuss modern and innovative wastewater treatment technologies. This will provide local authorities, engineers, and stakeholders with practical knowledge to improve wastewater management practices and support sustainable environmental policies in the cross-border region.

  3. Construction of a Sanitary Sewerage System in Velykyi Bereznyi
    A new sewerage network, including associated infrastructure and technical facilities, will be constructed over a total length of approximately 2,687 meters. This system will expand access to modern sanitation for approximately 950 new subscribers, improving public health and environmental conditions. The project will also connect the Velykyi Bereznyi boarding school, serving around 200 people, including 50 internally displaced persons, ensuring safe and reliable wastewater management for educational institutions.

  4. Expert Conference
    The project will conclude with an expert conference to disseminate knowledge, present results, and promote cross-border collaboration on environmental protection and wastewater management. The conference will bring together stakeholders from both sides of the border to exchange best practices, lessons learned, and innovative solutions for water and soil quality preservation.

Expected impact:
The project will enhance environmental quality, increase access to modern sanitation services, and strengthen cross-border cooperation in sustainable water management. By combining infrastructure improvements with knowledge-sharing activities, it will contribute to long-term environmental resilience and public health in the region.
