4.1. Sources of Information and Methodology
The preliminary screening of the Hot Spots was conducted by the National Experts, who used all of the information available regarding the pollution sources of the Dnipro River basin within the territory of the Russian Federation. The main sources of information for the preliminary screening of Hot Spots in the Dnipro River basin within the territory of the Russian Federation are as follows:
- National statistics database (Form 2TP-“Water Industry”) for 1990, 1995, 2000-2001, Tables 8-9 “Characteristics of Pollutants”;
- National Report “On the State of Environment of the Russian Federation in 2000”;
- Reports “On the Use of Natural Resources and the State of the Environment” of Smolenskaya, Brianskaya, Kurskaya, Belgorodskaya, Kaluzhskaya and Orlovskaya oblasts for 2000;
- Information bulletins providing the results of monitoring of the geological environment and water bodies in 2000; and
- Information from reports of non-government organizations, periodical press, etc.
The above-listed activities included the identification of the sources of pollution and their extent, and the assessment of the cumulative impact of the pollutants on the environment, and particularly, on the surface water bodies within the Dnipro River basin.
In view of the limited period of time and resources available for the project, the number of Hot Spots was reduced to a manageable number in order to enable these Hot Spot to be scrutinized thoroughly.
The screening of the Hot Spots to an appropriate number for a detailed examination was carried out through the application of numerical criteria (such as the annual volume of wastewater) in combination with information obtained from published materials and questionnaires completed by enterprises, which are the water consumers.
The list of the Hot Spots that underwent quantitative or qualitative analysis at the preliminary screening stage is given in Table 4.1 below:
