Total length of the river is 772 km
Length as a border is 363 km (within Belarus 169 km, Ukraine 185 km). 224 km is on Polish territory
The total area of a basin is 73479 sq.km, within Belarus 9990 sq.km, 39420 – Poland, 24 069 -Ukraine.
The biggest urban agglomeration: Lvov in Ukraine ( 760 th. citizens), Brest in Belarus( 300 th. citizens) and Chełm in Poland ( 69 th. citizens).
Environment: Biosphere Reserve Western Polesie and 18 areas of NATURA 2000
The international basin of Bug river characterized of different administration structure responsible of water managing, monitoring and financing, lack of coordinated water management plans and coordinated action plans in the event of a crisis.
Poland – EU Water Framework Directive, Water Law – 2017; Act on inland navigation -2000; Environment protection Law – 2001; Act on fishing – 2004; Act on Inland fishing –1985 and detailed regulations provided by Ministry of Environment
Ukraine – Law adoption process: Law18.03.2004 №1629-ІV “On the state program of adaptation of the Ukrainian legislation to the EU legislation” makes Ukrainian law closer to WDF till 2020
Belarus – Country water law; Environmental Protection law
Polish - Ukrainian committee Boundary Waters
Area of working: Common strategy, Protection of transboundary waters against pollution, Flood protection and drainage regulation, Limited extraordinary water pollution, Hydrometeorology and hydrogeology
Lack of official Polish-Belarussian committee
Polish-Ukrainian cooperation for the
protection of the boundary waters against
pollution – governmental bodies from Lublin
and Wołyń
Expansion of cross-border system of sewage treatment in a river basin the Western Bug", 2013-2015, the Program of cross-border cooperation of Poland-Belarus-Ukraine 2007-2013. Municipal enterprise of housing and communal services "Kamenets housing and communal servicesInternational project of the European Union on prevention and to control of floods on the cross-border rivers (2010-2012) - Flood-WISE Project
Data from 2014:
58% waste waters was threaten biologically with removing biogens
20,8% waste waters was threaten mechanically
56,4% population in Bug river basin (Polish part ) use waste waters treatment plant (average in Poland – 71,5%)
In the cities 95,2% (93,9% in Poland), in the rural areas 23,0% (in Poland 37,4%)
Potential point sources of pollution surface and underground waters
are landfills, in particular dangerous waste. In 2014, according to
statistical data, in the lubelskie voivodship there were 54 active
storage sites including 50 municipal waste and 4 waste
industrial. At present, the landfill is equipped with installations
preventing potential contamination.
The impact is monitored on an ongoing basis by operating or
supervising landfills.
1. Biogens from the fertilized fields
In Bug river basin the usage of fertilizers is 127,3 kg/ha in 2015
The rural area cover 70% of Bug river basin in Poland
2. Biogens from houses without sanitation system
The serious threaten of surface waters is 62,4% people living at rural areas without connection to waste waters treatment.
Obtained results of diagnostic monitoring indicate that 88% of tested rivers did not meet the required RDW at least good ecological status
There is also a large share of rivers in poor condition / ecological potential. This situation is due to a poor ichthyological evaluation (EFI + / IBI). Bad research results indicate unsatisfactory fish species composition and negative influence of river regulation - changes in flow conditions, spawning deceleration, preventing or hindering migration.
