"Water is a crucial resource for human life. Therefore, protecting and restoring the quality of water must be a top priority for cities. Water scarcity, floods as well as pollution are part of a reality that cities face. UWA2030 is a bold initiative that will allow cities to be better involved in the implementation of water policy, defining their key role in achieving the objectives of the WFD, as well as facilitating the exchange of good practices in overcoming the challenges that we all face. The City of Timisoara is profoundly committed to the goals of the UWA2030 and is eager to work in the implementation of the strategy."
Nicolae Robu, Mayor of Timisoara
