| Hintergrund |
While about 65% of the urban population in Kosovo is connected to the sewage network, only one small wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) for a capacity of about 10?000 Population Equivalents (PE) is operated in Kosovo. Another is being built currently in Prizren. Therefore, the vast majority of wastewater remains untreated and is discharged directly into rivers severely affecting the water quality, human health and environment. There is little awareness of the situation in the population and until now, there have been only limited investments into infrastructure for wastewater collection and treatment. |
| Ziele |
The overall goals of the project are the improvement of the living conditions of the population in Peja (ca. 60'000 inhabitants) and in the downstream localities in Kosovo and further downstream in Albania and the protection of surface and underground water resources. The project will also contribute to the overall economic development of the target region. |
