		The Dnieper river is mentioned by the Ancient Greek historian Herodotus in the 5th century BC as Borysthenes, the Roman historians called it Danaper and its Old Slavic name used at times of Kievan Rus' was Slavutich.
		Approximately the last 800 km of the river is a chain of almost consecutive reservoirs.

		Dnipro Environmental Management Information System (DEMIS) was aimed at analysing and putting to use the results obtained in the course of information systems development under the Canadian Program “Environmental Management Development in Ukraine (the Dnipro Basin)” including REMIS, BEMIS, EMIS and a few other systems.
		Dnipro GIS Pilot Project was aimed at developing a pilot Geographic Information System (GIS) for the management of the Dnipro watershed environmental data using Zaporizhia region as a case study.
		The project was not directly connected with the Dnipro issues, and its approval may serve as an example of IDRC readiness to compromise, that led to positive consequences: the project went far beyond its initial goals.

	Rehabilitating the Dnipro River: International Development Research Centre
		Ukraine is one of the most environmentally degraded republics of the former Soviet Union, with 70% of its population living in areas considered environmentally dangerous, and the Dnipro River is the country's number one environmental priority.
		The river's main sources of pollution include nuclear fallout from the Chernobyl disaster, toxic pesticides and herbicides used in agriculture, heavy metals and organochlorine compounds from industry, untreated sewage from municipalities, and high levels of air pollution.
		Although polluted, the Dnipro is the country's lifeblood.

		The total length of the Dnipro reservoirs is about 3 thousand km, and almost one third of them are the areas of intensive bank abrasion and erosion.
		This project is a preparatory stage for ULRMC to participate in the full-scale monitoring of harmful impacts of waters on the ecology of the Dnipro Basin.

	Foreword - Why the Dnipro?
		The Dnipro (Dnieper in Russian and English) is the third largest river in Europe, next to the Volga and the Danube.
		The Dnipro reaches the Black Sea near Kherson, southern Ukraine, contributing a significant amount of the total freshwater input of the sea, accompanied by loadings of pollutants and contaminated sediments picked up along the way.
		The Dnipro is a vital artery for those three countries and it provides a lifeline to industry, agriculture and the population.

		Progressive degradation of the Dnipro Basin ecosystem became apparent by the early 1990s, especially in the middle and lower reaches of the Dnipro River.

	4.4 Water Resource Pollution Issues
		For the Dnipro Basin, chemical pollution also refers to the exceeded guideline levels of chemical substances in water bodies of the three riparian countries, and chemical pollution load carried with the river flow to the Black Sea.
		The poor state of municipal utilities in the Dnipro Basin is illustrated by the fact that wastewater discharges from municipal wastewater treatment plants have been recognised as a major (immediate) source of chemical and microbiological pollution and eutrophication.
		The most polluted river sections in Belarus associated with wastewater discharges are the Svisloch River downstream of Minsk, the Berezina River downstream of Bobruisk, the Dnipro River downstream of Mogilev and Rechitsa, the Pripyat River downstream of Mosyr, the Yaselda River downstream of Beresa, and the Usa River downstream of Gomel.
