Transboundary cooperation for hazard prevention in the
Kura-river basin

05/2003 – 12/2006


 
Preparation
 
The Federal Environmental Agency of Germany (UBA) performed a number of projects to support MEE-States especially for the establishment of international standards in the field of safety installations.The base for those measures is a technical information transfer. The objective of these preparatory activities described bases on the technical specification from UBA dated June 26th 2002.  
In the frame work of this feasibility study opportunities has to be investigated to transfer other ana-logue projects to the countries Georgia, Armenia and Aserbaidjan regarding their technical and political infrastructure. Proposals for a successful schedule to perform of a tetra lateral project were elabo-rated. Thereby further demands on the protection of water bodies and the pollution prevention in sur-face water (European Fram Directive and requirements according EMAS) had to be considered on project.

In this scheduled project selected industries should be investigated in view to the present state of plant related water protection accompanied with named experts and authorities of each beneficiary country. Technical and organizational measures to enhance the plant related water protection will be proposed on the basis of the project findings, recommendations of the ICPR/-D and European standards.

Those findings will build a perfect knowledge base for the transfer of technical know how in the field of installation and safety engineering to other river basins. It is concretly to be sound in this feasibility study, which requirements of relevant international regulation could be met and will be prioritised in this project with regard to the current technical and administrative conditions in this Caucasusian region. In this study risk assessment and investigation on feasibilty were conducted for the Kura river basin, where cooperation in hazard prevention between the

South Caucasian Countries Georgia, Armenia and Aserbaidjan will be prepared and supported.

Main objective is to find out the risks and uncertainty and specially the following general conditions for the scheduled project : .

 
1. Determination of the technical and administrative feasibilty,
2. Determination and coordination of each accompanying leading authority, responsible persons and local partners of each country,
3. Cost estimation for the project,
4.

Selection of hazardous enterprises and needed improvements for installation safeties unless of risk assessments maintained.
.

 
Regarding the specifics of the three target countries the probable main actors from the authorities, industries and NGO's will be identified and recruited for the project. Networks have to be created, which will secure a project realisation successfully.

According to the tasks in this preliminary phase the results were presented at an internet-Site of the UBA-homepage.
