2 Total length of the river is 772 km Length as a border is 363 km (within Belarus 169 km, Ukraine 185 km). 224 km is on Polish territory The total area of a basin is sq.km, within Belarus 9990 sq.km, Poland, Ukraine.

3 The biggest urban agglomeration: Lvov in Ukraine ( 760 th. citizens), Brest in Belarus( 300 th. citizens) and Chełm in Poland ( 69 th. citizens). Environment: Biosphere Reserve Western Polesie and 18 areas of NATURA 2000

4 The international basin of Bug river characterized of different administration structure responsible of water managing, monitoring and financing, lack of coordinated water management plans and coordinated action plans in the event of a crisis.

5 Poland EU Water Framework Directive, Water Law 2017; Act on inland navigation ; Environment protection Law 2001; Act on fishing 2004; Act on Inland fishing 1985 and detailed regulations provided by Ministry of Environment Ukraine Law adoption process: Law ІV On the state program of adaptation of the Ukrainian legislation to the EU legislation makes Ukrainian law closer to WDF till 2020 Belarus Country water law; Environmental Protection law

8 Obtained results of diagnostic monitoring indicate that 88% of tested rivers did not meet the required RDW at least good ecological status There is also a large share of rivers in poor condition / ecological potential. This situation is due to a poor ichthyological evaluation (EFI + / IBI). Bad research results indicate unsatisfactory fish species composition and negative influence of river regulation - changes in flow conditions, spawning deceleration, preventing or hindering migration.
