The analysis is presented from an integrated water resources perspective, thereby including all pertinent water-related sectors, viz. municipal water supply and sanitation, industrial water supply, agriculture, energy generation, environment, and disaster management. More details on specific water-related aspects can be found in the companion rapid assessment reports for the energy, urban, and agricultural and rural development sectors. The recommended priority actions are presented in the context of consideration for possible financing under the operational programs funded by the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) in 2014-2020 planning horizon. This analysis is based on the available information on the current status of water resources sector in Romania, along with the existing knowledge on the anticipated impacts of climate change in this sector.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAGRICULTUREALGAL BLOOMSANNUAL PRECIPITATIONAQUATIC ECOSYSTEMSAQUIFERAQUIFERSARTIFICIAL RECHARGEASSESSMENT REPORTSAVAILABLE WATERAVAILABLE WATER RESOURCESCATCHMENTCATCHMENTSCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGESCOASTAL AREASCOASTAL WATERSCONSTRUCTIONCONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIESCONVEYANCECUBIC METERCUBIC METERSDAMSDISCHARGEDISSOLVED OXYGENDOMESTIC USEDOMESTIC WATERDOMESTIC WATER SUPPLYDRINKING WATERDRINKING WATER SUPPLIESDROUGHTDROUGHT CONDITIONSENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATIONENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONEROSIONEUTROPHICATIONFISHERIESFLOOD CONTROLFLOOD EVENTSFLOOD FORECASTINGFLOOD FREQUENCYFLOOD MANAGEMENTFLOOD PROTECTIONFLOOD RISKFLOODINGFLOODSFORESTFORESTSGASGEOGRAPHIC INFORMATIONGEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMSGRAVITYGROUNDWATERGROUNDWATER TABLEGROUNDWATER USEGROUNDWATER WELLSHABITATSHYDROLOGYHYDROPOWER CAPACITYHYDROPOWER POTENTIALHYDROPOWER PRODUCTIONINDUSTRIAL WATERINDUSTRIAL WATER SUPPLYIRRIGATIONIRRIGATION SYSTEMSLAKESLAND USEMANAGEMENT OF WATERMANAGING WATER RESOURCESMARINE ENVIRONMENTMETEOROLOGICAL STATIONSMETERINGMITIGATIONMUNICIPAL WASTEWATERMUNICIPAL WATERMUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLYMUNICIPALITIESNATIONAL WATER RESOURCESNATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTNATURAL RESOURCESORGANIC MATTERPERMITTING PROCESSPIPELINEPOLLUTANTSPOLLUTIONPRECIPITATION EVENTSPRECIPITATION INTENSITYPROVISION OF WATERPROVISION OF WATER SUPPLYPUBLIC UTILITIESPUMPINGPUMPSQUALITY STANDARDSRAINFALLREGIONAL CLIMATEREGIONAL DEVELOPMENTRESERVOIRRESERVOIRSRESOURCE CONSERVATIONRIVERRIVER BASINRIVER BASIN MANAGEMENTRIVER BASIN MANAGEMENT PLANRIVER BASIN MANAGEMENT PLANSRIVER BASINSRIVER SYSTEMRIVERSRURAL WATERRURAL WATER SUPPLYSAFE POTABLE WATERSANITATIONSANITATION SERVICESSERVICE PROVISIONSEWER SYSTEMSSEWERAGE SERVICESSMALL COMMUNITIESSNOWSOIL MOISTURESTATISTICAL METHODSSTORAGE CAPACITYSTORMWATERSURFACE AREASURFACE FLOWSURFACE WATERSURFACE WATER BODIESSURFACE WATER RESOURCESSURFACE WATERSTHERMAL POWERUPLANDSURBAN AREASVEGETATIONWASTEWATER COLLECTIONWASTEWATER MANAGEMENTWASTEWATER REUSEWASTEWATER SUPPLYWASTEWATER SYSTEMSWASTEWATER TREATMENTWASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEMSWATER ALLOCATIONWATER ASSOCIATIONWATER AVAILABILITYWATER CONSUMPTIONWATER DELIVERY SYSTEMSWATER DEMANDWATER DEMAND MANAGEMENTWATER DISTRIBUTIONWATER DISTRIBUTION NETWORKSWATER FLOWSWATER MANAGEMENTWATER NETWORKSWATER POLLUTIONWATER QUALITYWATER QUALITY DEGRADATIONWATER RESOURCEWATER RESOURCESWATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENTWATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLANSWATER RESOURCES PLANNINGWATER REUSEWATER SCARCITYWATER SECTORWATER SECTOR INVESTMENTSWATER SHORTAGESWATER SOURCEWATER SOURCE PROTECTIONWATER SOURCESWATER STORAGEWATER SUPPLIESWATER SUPPLYWATER SUPPLY SERVICEWATER TRANSFERSWATER TREATMENT PLANTWATER USERSWATER USESWATER UTILITIESWATERWAYSWAVESWELLSWETLANDWETLANDS10.1596/17569
