1. Transcarpathia is one of the most well-supplied regions of Ukraine with water resources. Such important waterways of Europe feed from the Carpathian sources: Vistula, Danube, Tisza, Dniester and their numerous large and small tributaries. The Carpathians are the source of 80% of Romania's water resources and 40% of Ukraine's water resources are also from the Carpathians. But we have to state with concern that the Carpathians may lose their importance for Europe as a source of fresh water. Mountainous regions are the most vulnerable to the “garbage problem”. Garbage trucks, which usually run without problems in lowland villages, do not go to the mountains, where there are often no normal roads at all, and if there are, the cost of garbage removal from there reaches exorbitant prices. Because of this, the chairmen of mountain communities often turn a blind eye to illegal dumps, the burning of garbage by the villagers and throwing it into the river. It is the rivers, sadly as it may sound, that are the "main garbage chute" of the Ukrainian Carpathians.

The Tisza River is the largest tributary of the Danube in terms of area and length, and the second, after the Sava, in terms of water content. The basin area is 157 186 km ². The length of the Tisa River is 966 km. The main part of the flow of the river. Tisza is formed on the territory of four states: Romania - 51%, Ukraine - 25.6%, Hungary - 10% and Slovakia - 13.4%. On the territory of Ukraine, the basin of the river. Tisa is completely located within one region - Transcarpathian. All rivers on the territory of Transcarpathia directly flow into the river. Yew, or to its tributaries. The area of ​​the Transcarpathian region and, accordingly, the area of ​​the Tisza sub-basin within Ukraine is about 12.8 thousand km. The Tisza River originates in the southeastern part of the Carpathians, formed by the confluence of the two rivers Black and White Tisza. After the confluence of these rivers above the city of Rakhiv, p. The Tisza flows in a narrow mountain valley in a southerly direction. Below p. Delovoe on the border with Romania, after the confluence from the left bank of the river. Visheu, the river flows in a narrow gorge in the north-western direction of the village. Great Bychkov. Despite the fact that on the territory of the Velikobychkovskaya UTC the Tisa river flows in each of 7 villages: the Apshitsa river is a right tributary of the Tisa with a length of 39 km and an area of ​​226 km2, the Shopurka river is a right tributary of the Tisa 41 km in length and a basin area of ​​283 km2; The Kisva-right tributary of the Tisza is 41 km long and the basin area is 157 km2, the project is the most urgent.

The project “Clean Tisza - the key to a happy future” (hereinafter referred to as the Project) is to clean up the banks of the Tisza River on the territory of Velikobychkovskaya UTC, Rakhiv district of the Transcarpathian region by introducing modern methods and technologies in the collection and processing (processing) of solid household waste generated on the territory of Velikobychkovskaya UTC. Namely: the method of separate collection of household waste using modern equipment for the processing (processing) of solid household waste (hereinafter - MSW) for their further transportation and disposal. The project plans to separate collection of plastic, paper, glass and mixed municipal solid waste. For each type of municipal solid waste, a separate container with a corresponding color will be installed at container sites. For plastic - yellow, for paper - blue, for glass - green and for organics - black.

Now solid household waste generated on the territory is buried in a landfill, which is already overflowing. The area has already been called "Garbage Hoverla" over 8m. heights, 300m. length and about 600m. width (link to article). The consequences of pollution of the Tisza River are obvious - this is the accumulation of organic matter and decay - water pollution and the death of fish and animals. The consequences of water pollution can be called dangerous and extensive. The list of diseases that can arise due to the use of poor-quality water is huge. It is not for nothing that they say that 80% of ailments a person "drinks" together with water. A plastic bottle, if not disposed of, can take several or even thousands of years to decompose. At the same time, it releases toxins that poison the environment. And also, through our irresponsibility, at least 10 generations will enjoy a huge plastic legacy.

Experts have calculated that Ukraine has transferred and continues to transfer Hungary up to 100 plastic bottles per minute. According to the Hungarian President, since mid-June alone, the Hungarians have received 938 cubic meters of garbage from the Tisza and 846 cubic meters of garbage from the Somes River. The Tisza, one of the main rivers of Eastern Europe, originates in Ukraine and flows through the whole of Hungary, after which it flows into the Danube in Serbia. The Somes River flows from Romania to Hungary and flows into the Tisza there (link to article). Some kind of garbage export to the European Union. After rains, the current from the mountainous regions of Transcarpathia carries cubic meters of plastic waste to the territory of Slovakia - up to 400 bottles per minute can cross the border (link to article). After all, if the garbage is not taken out of the village, then it is easier to throw it into the river. She quickly takes away everything that is no longer needed.

This project will benefit 100% of the population of the Veliky Bychkov United Territorial Community (UTC) consisting of 7 villages, namely: Veliky Bychkov (9 423 residents), Kobyletskaya Polyana (3490 residents), Verkhnee Vodyanoe (5 272 residents), Voditsa (1882 residents), Kosovskaya Polyana (4 222 inhabitants), Lug (1 985 inhabitants) and Rososhka (1240 inhabitants), and in total this amounts to 29.689 thousand of its inhabitants living on the territory of 574.2 square meters. km. (link to article)

2 Define the goals and objectives of the project.

The main goal of the project is to protect the environment in the Danube region, preserve the unique beauty of the picturesque Carpathians, and clean up the Tisza river. On the territory of the Velikobychkovsky UTC, involve the local population in sorting waste by reducing the disposal of solid household waste, which have a detrimental effect of the introduction of separate collection of solid waste and the introduction of processing (processing) and sorting of solid waste generated on the territory of the Velikobychkovsky UTC of the Transcarpathian region Conducting an information campaign by combining the efforts of Rotarians, local business, government and the public sector for 36 months and to overcome the so-called" garbage export to the European Union that on the territory of the region there are practically no such plan, waste processing plants.Ukraine, one of the countries of Europe, for which the problem of ecosystem pollution is extremely acute.Today, the systemic collection of waste covers only part of the territory of Transcarpathia. Mukachevo, the second largest city in the region, has specialized enterprises that somehow cope, in other regions they risk drowning in their own waste. The socio-economic orientation of the project will improve the living conditions of the population, because the state of the river directly depends on the the entire ecosystem of the region it, and the health of residents living in this territory, will reduce the negative impact of waste on human health, reduce the overuse of natural resources, open up new opportunities for realizing the social, economic and intellectual potential of society. An enterprise with permanent jobs will be created.
