The most important benefit will be the fact that pollution on the Danube River will be reduced and the population living at the confluence of the Dâmboviţa and Arges Rivers, who now have a difficult time due to the conditions, will have a better life.

This video focuses on the rehabilitation and modernisation of the Bucharest wastewater treatment plant at Glina in Romania.

Construction began on the The Glina wastewater treatment plant in 1985 but progress came to an abrupt halt with the overthrow of former dictator Nicolae Ceausescu in 1989. The site lay dormant until a large cash injection revived it in 2007 and as part

of a joint venture, Halcrow was awarded the technical assistance contract for phase one of the project – the largest environmental scheme in south-east Europe. 

The project will cut pollution into the River Danube and the Black Sea in compliance with national legislation and EU directives.
