In some cases the damage is caused by large-scale accidents. Long-term experience gives reason to say that the elimination of the consequences of accidents is a major cost. Therefore, to avoid such events and to prevent their exploitation and geodetic monitoring system to improve the rules on key issues. Therefore, constant control of the plan-height positioning, geodetic measurements for the detailed examination of the dynamics, repetition of the geodetic measurements for certain time intervals, or in other words regular monitoring is very important. During geodetic monitoring using the GIS has special significance. Given that, collecting geodetic monitoring measurements of the main pipelines on the same coordinate system and processing these data on a single GIS system allows the implementation of overall assessment of plan-height state of major water supply pipeline network facilities and the study of the impact of water supply network on environment and alternatively, the impact of natural processes on major pipeline.

The results of studying the impact of environmental factors on public sources of drinking water supply, in particular the Ural River, are presented. The analysis of the data system of environmental monitoring carried out by environmental services FGU «Orenburg CGMS» and Kazhydromet as part of intergovernmental cooperation, starting from the border of the Russian Federation, Chelyabinsk and Orenburg regions and ending with the confluence of the Ural River to the Caspian Sea in Atyrau region of Kazakhstan. The comparative evaluation of the quality and safety of drinking water supply in the tenyear dynamics are given.

Riverbank filtration (RBF) is a well proven natural treatment, which in many countries is part of a multi-barrier concept in drinking water supply. The induced infiltration of river water into the aquifer produces a significant improvement in river water quality. Riverbank filtration wells are characterized by a high capacity. Based on data from recent years, an integrated approach to assessing the impact of climate change on safe drinking water production by RBF is demonstrated in the Lower Rhine Valley, Germany. Influencing factors on quantitative as well as qualitative aspects were identified. During low river water periods, the capacity of the RBF-wells decreases. In addition the lower discharge within the river is accompanied by a increased concentration of several chemical compounds. Together with higher water temperatures which influence the hydrogeochemical processes during RBF, the changing raw water composition has to be considered for the subsequent technical treatment step. However, our investigations reveal that despite the impact of climate change on RBF, the multi-protective barrier concept, including both natural and technical purification, has proven a reliable method for drinking water production. The sanitation of the Rhine over the last decades was an important step to make RBF more resilient to climate change.

&lt;p&gt;The Kyiv Reservoir and the Desna river are the main sources of drinking water supply for Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. The impact of surface air temperature on the change of the aquatic system chemistry mentioned above water objects was studied based on long-term regular observations (1995&amp;#8211;2018).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The findings are based on the analysis of daily air and water temperature, water pH, oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations, water color index, dissolved organic substances (COD&lt;sub&gt;Mn&lt;/sub&gt;), Fe, Mn, and phytoplankton abundance (without identifying their species composition).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The winter period. &lt;/strong&gt;Despite different hydraulic conditions in the Kyiv Reservoir and in the Desna river, the lack of ice cover due to an increase in winter air temperatures (December-February) led to significant improvement of the water oxygen regime in recent years. This fact, as well as the subsequent chain of changes in the water chemistry, contributed to the cheaper drinking water supply.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The ratio of the oxygen content change to the duration of the ice cover, determined by air temperature, was obtained. This allowed us to reconstruct years with observed hypoxia phenomena since 1850. Changes in the water chemistry, triggered by oxygen deficit, were described.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The summer period. &lt;/strong&gt;The increase in summer air temperature led to a decrease in oxygen concentrations. It had the effect of slowing down the process of N-NH&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt; nitrification. Because of the high content of natural organic matters in these water bodies, dangerous hypoxia phenomena were reported in summertime. Such conditions contributed to the restoration of manganese to a mobile Mn&lt;sup&gt;2+&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All these features created additional difficulties at water treatment plants for supplying drinking water to residents of Kyiv.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In shallow waters, occupying almost half of the Kyiv Reservoir, an increase in water temperature during the summer period led to the intensification of the hydrobiological processes and &amp;#8220;water blooming.&amp;#8221; This is compounded by the high income of nitrogen and phosphorus from the point and diffuse sources.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The observed decrease in the Dnieper water flow does not allow the active use of releases from the Kyiv Reservoir. The only way to minimize negative consequences in the future is to prevent pollution and eliminate shallow water zones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is complicated by the fact that a significant amount of nitrogen compounds enters the Kyiv Reservoir with the water of its main tributary, Pripyat, which basin is highly marshy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dredging in the shallow areas will require further research because of the bedding of radionuclides of Chernobyl in the bottom sediments.&lt;/p&gt;

The transition to a circular economy with an emphasis on eco-innovation is just beginning both in Europe and in Romania, as a member country of the European Union. The whole economic system in which people operate must be circular, which means that it must eliminate conflicting aspects related to regulation, collaboration, governance, supply chain dynamics, and data transparency. However, the barriers to the transition to a circular economy are substantial, and it is up to states to work together to find innovative solutions to society’s problems. This article focuses on aspects related to eco-innovation in the field of drinking water quality in all administrative regions of Romania. In this regard, a study was undertaken, and the main objective pursued in was to identify and highlight the degree of eco-innovation of drinking water suppliers in seven underdeveloped regions of Romania. Starting from an analysis of the water management framework through the OECD Principles on Water Governance, it was possible to develop a study on drinking water supply companies in Romania. This study was performed based on specific indicators grouped by categories, and it aimed in two directions: on the one hand, the identification of drinking water distributors with a high degree of eco-innovation, which leads to quality certification of the drinking water supplied and which has the impact of encouraging household consumers to mainly use this type of supplied water to the detriment of PET bottled water (which has well-known major disadvantages in relation to environmental pollution and user health); on the other hand, the identification of drinking water supply companies with a low degree of eco-innovation, which is proof of the need for mandatory measures to improve drinking water quality, measures that can be taken at the supplier level but especially with support from the administrative and political environment.
