Abstract

This article evaluates the implementation status of water supply and sewer systems in Băilești Plain, as a response to the alignment with the objectives of the National Sustainable Development Strategy 2030. The length of the water supply network and the sewer system was analyzed at the administrative-territorial unit (ATU) level and their correlation with the population in each ATU was assessed. The potable water distribution network is approximately 900 km, which is insufficient for the population in the region. Furthermore, the sewer network has a low level of implementation in rural areas, not yet reaching the objectives set by the strategies and Oltenia Water Company (OWC), namely providing access to essential utilities for the population.
