The purpose of this report is to assess
the climate change impacts on water resources in Romania
from an integrated, multi-sectoral perspective, and to
recommend priority actions for addressing the identified
risks and opportunities. 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

knowledge on the anticipated impacts of climate change in
this sector.
