Propozimet për përmirësimin e sistemit monitorues në Kosovë Disenjimi i rrjetit të monitorimit të ujërave sipërfaqësor DKU Kërkon përshkrimin adekuat të çdo trupi ose grupeve të trupave ujor dhe vlerësimin e tyre Kosovë Rrjeti duhet të disenjohet ashtu që të mundësohet marrja e përshkrimit të besueshëm dhe të sigurt të gjendjes së mjedisit të ujërave sipërfaqësor në Kosovë, duke theksuar presionet antropogjenike. Faza Interimistike (Hapi I ): Monitorimi në njësi të nënpellgjeve. Përputhshmëria me DKU (Hapi II): Nëse kufizohen trupat ujorë, më pas disenjohet programi. Mbani në mend: Sa më shumë trupa ujor të kufizohen, aq më shumë do t’i nënshtrohen monitorimit!

Terms of Reference (TOR 9) Task o Proposal for organizational changes for implementing the monitoring strategy and designated institutions

Ministerial Level Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning Tasks/role: Approval of the surface water monitoring programme Organise the funds and financial resources to for the activities Setting of priorities Operative Level Institute of Hydrology and Meteorology of Kosovo (HMIK) Tasks/role: Develops the monitoring programme Carries out and organises the field observation and necessary analysis Documentation of the results/Quality assurance/Data Storage Organizational aspects of monitoring by public institutions

Auxiliary partner of the Operative Level Third party consultants e.g. universities, experts, companies Presumably this will be necessary for the analysis of the Biological Quality Elements as Macroinvertebrates, Fishes and Macrophytes. Operative Level Institute of Hydrology and Meteorology of Kosovo (HMIK) Question: What happens if the necessary knowledge or own capacity is not available inmediately ? Hires external know how to carry out relevant work which could not be done ! Organizational aspects of monitoring by public institutions

Thanks for your attention Thank you very much !
