Safe Drinking Water in Romania - January 2004

The January 2004 Report on the Romania Safe Drinking Water Project

23.05.2004

In the 4rd period of the project 'Safe Drinking Water' a great amount of activities were carried out in the two pilot areas, the town of Slobozia and the village of Garla Mare. In this period a project visit by international experts was held in Slobozia, combined with a public event. Slobozia had been given a little less attention in previous periods as the situation turned out to be so much more dramatic in the village of Garla Mare.
