Malta has second cleanest sea water

Malta last year had the cleanest bathing waters in the EU after Cyprus and has been dubbed a “star” by the European Commission for its improvement in trying to keep its seas in a pristine state.

The island is reaping the fruits of a multi-million euro investment, supported by EU funds, to construct three sewage treatment plants, which has helped it improve its coastal waters by leaps and bounds.

Every single one of the 87 bathing sites tested not only reached minimum EU standards but 95 per cent of them have been given top marks and rated “excellent”, according to the latest bathing water report issued by the Commission in Brussels yesterday.

Only four bathing areas fell short of that mark, with three considered “good quality” and just one, the area next to Xagħjra’s sewage pumping station, considered to be of “sufficient” quality. However, the Xagħjra area is expected to improve this year as a new sewage treatment plant, the largest one of the three constructed, was opened at the end of last year.

Only seven years ago, on EU accession, half Malta’s bathing sites did not meet the required standards.

“Malta has made huge progress in this area since its accession to the EU and this augurs well for Malta’s tourist industry,” an EU official told The Times yesterday.

“Malta has the second cleanest bathing waters in the EU and has even managed to surpass Greece – considered top notch in this area,” the official remarked.

In 2009 Malta had already managed to impress the Commission by the rapid progress made in the quality of its bathing waters. By that year it had managed to reach a 93 per cent “excellent quality” mark.

According to the latest report, Malta continued to better the quality of its waters in 2010 by transforming two other bathing sites from “good” to “excellent”.

According to an EU directive, member states are bound to examine the quality of their coastal bathing waters on a regular basis particularly on a number of criteria including health hazards.

The Commission’s report shows a slight decline in the quality of the EU’s bathing waters although overall quality was still high. More than 90 per cent of bathing water sites met the minimum requirements.

In Cyprus, 100 per cent of its bathing water sites meet the highest standards. After Malta, Greece achieved 94 per cent and Ireland 90 per cent.

This year the Commission has also adopted new signs and ­symbols that will be used to inform the public on bathing water classification and on bathing restrictions.

Program with high-pressure boiler back to 5.2 before treatment to re-injection standards, then the depth of treatment, reaching back to the boiler water standards, project investment 7.6094 million yuan. The results shown in Table 7. Table 7 unit investment budget item 6 million investment in other economic data (1) liquidity. 3O annual operating costs calculated. (2) The annual water production period. Daily production l_60 × lO · ms, p90x workout schedule , in which l-lxlO'm / d re-injection, o. 5 × 10m / d in-depth treatment standards for high-pressure boiler water. (3) to evaluate the use of treated wastewater shadow price. Re-injection high-pressure boiler and back with the program, mbt shoes ireland , the shadow price of 2.55 yuan were taken / m. (4) To facilitate the analysis of investment efficiency, the evaluation period to l5 years. Thus, the economic evaluation is conceived as a complete heavy water projects, and to determine the shadow prices corresponding to their corresponding calculation parameters. The aim is to demonstrate the economics of projects and its viability in the 7 programs running on the aforementioned economic evaluation based on economic parameters, treatment and reuse options for the economic cash flow were calculated. The results in Table 8, Table 9. Evaluation of the program are summarized as follows: 7.1 Option 1 can be seen from Table 5, re-injection program shadow price of 2.55 yuan / m, the project investment l070 million, calculated as follows: (1) investment payback period 2.75 years. (2) The project internal rate of return 58.39, higher than the reference value stipulated by the state. (3) to evaluate the effectiveness of 65.0261 million yuan during the period can be obtained, showing that the project is economically feasible. 7.2 treated water back to the high-pressure boiler for the boiler water programs program shadow price of 2.55 yuan / m; investment 760.94 × 10 'respectively. The results are: (1) investment recovery period is 8.32 years. (2) The project internal rate of return l3.91. (3) evaluation period available 873.94 × 10 'yuan gains. Comprehensive comparison of the two options, abercrombie ireland , both on line 8 from the economic conclusions of heavy oil thermal recovery program of sewage treatment and utilization projects not only from the environmental and water conservation is necessary, but also economic benefits from the social point of view is reasonable and feasible.
