1.2. Scope of Activities
As there are thousands of well-known and potential Hot Spots within the Dnipro River basin, in order to achieve the identified objective in the proper time and in the most efficient way, application of a multistage screening system developed by SNC-Lavalin Engineers & Constructors Inc. (SLE&C) was proposed. The initial stages of the screening are simple, easy-to-use and widely applicable. As the number of potential hot spots decreases, the level of detailed assessment increases, gradually providing a more detailed comparative analysis.
The scope of activities has included: the identification of the sources of water pollution; the analysis of the environmental impact of contaminant loading; and, establishing, for each of the three Dnipro River countries, an administrative framework for implementing practical and cost-effective solutions, thereby facilitating the realization of Strategic Action Programmes in all three countries.
The SLE&C team has undertaken the role of International Hot Spot Experts working with its counterparts at the Thematic Centres (National Hot Spot Experts (NHSE)) to identify, assess and prioritize the sources of pollution (the Hot Spots) and propose mitigation measures.
