Abstract

Our previous research has highlighted the importance and the problems of the development for the environmental infrastructure, namely of the Romanian water and wastewater networks, in order to attract and capitalize the allocated European funds. Therefore, in the present paper we deal these aspects from a more synthetic and historical outlook. In Romania, one of the most obvious characteristics concerning the general situation of the environment refers to the striking deficiencies in the environmental infrastructure, especially in the field of wastewater inurban areas and water supply and sewerage in rural areas. Nevertheless, historical and conceptual issues in the paper analysehow, despite its current development lag, in Romania, the concern for implementing and developing of wastewater treatment technology began over a hundred years ago. Thus, the objective of the research is to highlight and analyse some economic concerns and challenges of developing the wastewater infrastructure in Romania, in view of environmental protection and sustainable development. As a methodology, the accumulations and the results from the literature and from previous own research, comparative analysis, own data processing and graphics on infrastructure for water protection through Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) will be employed. The conclusions and recommendations refer to the main causes and objectives of the current and historical deficiencies regarding the development of the Romanian wastewater treatment capacities and the due investment for complying with the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (UWWTD) in Romania.
