In order to push this project through, there are 3 main areas that must be followed:

1. Collecting of expert data must be done which should provide the scientific evidence, and the assessment of the state of the rivers and their main polluters. This technical information will be necessary documentation about the quality of water in target river basins with a focus on nutrient and toxic pollution from both point and non-point sources. It also helps set the priority areas where efforts should be made to make improvements.
Research must also be done to uncover EU Commission Programmes aiming to help such projects and legislative demands, legal documents that have been created and adopted by governments that give a clear idea of expectations with regards to certain related issues. Such legal documents are important to be aware of as they give a guideline for what actions can later be taken.

2. Perhaps one of the most important and lengthiest parts of this project will be devoted to communicating with the public, educating them with regards to their own situations and their own rivers, gaining their support and getting them involved. This includes creating different attractive and understandable publications that will grasp people's attention and make them care. Once a certain amount of information has been distributed and absorbed, other activities can follow, such as getting the public involved directly into actions helping clean the environment.
It is also important to include the media, by organizing press conferences, making use of newspapers, radios and television. This is a good way of reaching out to a larger audience of gaining more support. Besides that educational activities for children will be conducted.

3. The third part of this project is very much connected to the first and takes place partly simultaneously with the second. One pilot site will be selected in each target river basin based on data from the leaflet on point and non-point sources of pollution. It is here that stakeholders play an important role, meeting together and discussing, which solutions they wish to implement, keeping in mind the interest of all people who will be affected. The result of this effort will be development of a water pollution reduction plan.
The last but not the least activity will be wetland construction in Bulgaria. Through the construction of wetland, the project will serve as a model example of application of a 'reedbed' technology as an ecological solution for the sewage system.
