The deputies from the PG of "DPS- Novo nacholo" are starting an inspection of water resources and water infrastructure in municipalities and settlements. This was decided at their meeting today by the MPs, due to the escalating water supply crisis in the country. This was reported by the party's press center.
The parliamentary group accepted the proposal of MP Huseyn Hafazov to create an interactive map of the state of water supply and sanitation, which will reflect all types of problems related to water, as well as the institutions and structures responsible for solving the problem, which will be dynamic and reflect in real time at what stage the solution of a problem is at a specific point.
The Deputy Chairman of the PG of "DPS-New Beginning" Stanislav Anastasov recommended that the deputies hold meetings in all municipalities in their electoral districts, meeting with representatives of the local government and the local structures of the Water and Sewerage Holding and summarizing the current information, problems, potential risks and project readiness of the municipalities for their short-term and long-term resolution.
We will monitor the work of the Water Board very carefully, we will support the institutions and we will correct them if they do not do their job for the benefit of the people, said Anastasov. The most important thing is to use the weight of parliamentary control and make the institutions work.
The People's Representative Atidje Alieva-Veli insisted that special attention be paid to the infrastructure that supplies water to agricultural producers, as well as the adoption of short-term and long-term measures for water resources used by business.
At its meeting, the party's parliamentary group discussed the preparation of a Strategic Plan for solving the problems of water scarcity.
"DPS-New Beginning" defines solving the water crisis as one of the biggest challenges.
The People's Representatives decided to prepare a Strategic Plan for Water Resources Management on the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria, which provides for all measures to be clearly outlined for overcoming the water crisis. In order to prepare the document, a number of meetings are planned with institutions, representatives of local authorities, business organizations, universities, and associations of agricultural producers.
The Working Group of "DPS-New Beginning" is systematically working to overcome the problem of water scarcity, and has so far held a number of meetings with local authorities, as a result of which the proposals were prepared, which were included in the Report of the Committee on Water Scarcity. At the initiative of the Chairman of the DPS and the Working Group of "DPS-New Beginning" Delyan Peevski, an extraordinary meeting of the Committee on Environment and Water was convened in August, which prepared and adopted a Decision on urgent measures to overcome the water supply crisis. The decision was adopted by the National Assembly and a National Water Board was formed, which is already operating today.
