| description |
The main objective of this report is to
identify and analyze the main issues faced by the WSS
services in Turkey and to initiate a dialog with authorities
on opportunitiesto enhance the quality, sustainability
(technical and financial), and affordability of service
provision as Turkey works to reach compliance with the
European Union (EU) Drinking Water Directive (DWD) andthe
Urban Wastewater Directive (UWWD) and with WSS related
aspects of the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). This
objective is also very consistent with Turkey’s focus on
reaching the recently established Sustainable Development
Goals. The report identifies questions which were discussed
ata high level workshop and related inputs subsequently
received. Collecting and organizing the data necessary to
perform in-depth analysis has provena challenge that could
not be overcome in the timeframe of this study. The report
therefore reliessolely on publicly available data and
studies and on information collected through meetings
withTurkish counterparts and EU colleagues and disseminated
or validated at the workshop. This report is designed and
written for high-level officials and authorities in central
and localgovernments. Chapter one, which presents the
sector’s main objectives, institutional arrangements,and
regulatory framework, is kept short, as these are well-known
to the target audience of thisreport.Chapter two presents an
overview of the technical and financial status of the
WSS.Chapter three compares the requirements of the EU
Drinking Water and Urban Wastewater Directiveswith Turkish
regulations and presents a short overview of the current
compliance levels. Chapter four estimates the cost of
reaching compliance with regulations related to
wastewatercollection and treatment and service provisions in
three scenarios: (i) under EU Urban Wastewater Directive
requirements; (ii) under Turkish standards for nutrient
removal in sensitive areas; and(iii) under Turkish standards
of scenario 2, plus compulsory nitrogen removal treatment
forcities of more than 50,000 people. It estimates the costs
and operation and maintenance (O&M)requirements of
existing infrastructure (per available data), incremental
costs needed to complywith the regulations in each scenario,
and where data is available, the related impact on
O&Mand tariffs for utilities.Chapter five proposes
questions worthy of further analysis which were discussed at
a high-level workshop. |
