| Albania having the status of an EU candidate country, has adapted the water legislation framework to that of the EU. In this context river basin management plans (RBMP) are used to achieve a holistic management of surface waters according to the EU Water Framework Directive. Albania has a significant need for data as a basis for RBMPs, especially the data regarding the pollutant emissions and pathways from the river basins. Therefore, the Amore-AL project aims at establishing an appropriate monitoring strategy coupled with modelling of pollutant pathways. Through this, the project aims at supporting Albanian institutions with their need for basic tools to improve river basins management plans. In this project the development of a tool to assess the nutrient and pollution emissions at river basin scale is planned. |
