Progress/Result of implementation:
The Ministry of Environmental Protection is a ministry that, among other things, forms state policy in the areas of:
- forestry;
- development of water management, management, use and reproduction of surface water resources;
- geological study and rational use of subsoil resources.
Based on the monitoring results, it has been established that in all of the above-mentioned areas, the bodies implementing state policy ensure the publication of information about natural resources.
1. For instance, information on forest resources is reflected in the State Forest Cadaster and made public on the Open Data resource - data.gov.ua.
2. To ensure citizens’ access to information on the water bodies of Ukraine, the State Water Resources Agency maintains the Water Resources of Ukraine geographical portal, which contains comprehensive information on the state water Cadaster – a record of surface water bodies and is available at the link http://geoportal.davr. gov.ua:81.
Under the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 263 of March 12, 2022, “Some Issues of Ensuring the Functioning of Information and Communication Systems, Electronic Communication Systems, Public Electronic Registers during the State of War,” access to the geographical portal is limited.
Information about surface water quality studies is published on the State Water Resources Agency’s website through the software web system Monitoring and Ecological Assessment of Water Resources (http://monitoring.davr.gov.ua).
For the duration of hostilities and for security reasons, the web system’s environmental information is closed for public use. Ready data sets from the software web system Monitoring and Ecological Assessment of Water Resources are being transferred to the Ecohazard dashboard, which is an official resource of the Ministry of Environmental Protection. Monitoring data are highlighted on the Ecohazard map in the thematic layer Monitoring and Ecological Assessment of Water Resources. In addition, the State Water Resources Agency has ensured the publication of monitoring data on the open data portal.
