WETLIFE project's final report and deliverables The WETLIFE project aimed at reversal of negative changes in Amalva and Ž’uvintas mires. Restoration of hydrological conditions necessary for regeneration of mire habitats was the main key to reaching the aim. Additionally, the project had a goal to facilitate a shift in agricultural practices on peatlands in order to improve conditions for biodiversity and reduce rate of peat mineralization with all related environmental consequences. Finally, the project expected to raise awareness about wetlands and to serve as an example of successful wetland restoration and more sustainable use that could be replicated in other parts of the country.

Small water reservoirs †“ their function and construction Small water reservoirs play important role in rural areas. They used to be very popular, but most of them
have been devastated in the last century. It is worth to restore them and to construct new ones. Very small reservoirs
(ponds) can be constructed in economical and cost efficient way by individual farmers. In regard to damming
below 1.0 m and to reservoirs situated outside protected areas, the permission for construction and the environmental
impact assessment is not required. However, one should always keep in mind that even the smallest
construction is the work of engineering and should be performed in accordance with the current standards.
The increase of available water resources and improvement of water quality demand various measures including
those aimed at reducing and limiting water runoff and pollutants transport from the river basins. One of
the methods to improve the structure of water balance and the amount of water in rivers is the construction of
a large number of small reservoirs, wetland reconstruction etc. Such reservoirs may be divided to: recreational,
floristic and faunistic conservation sites, swimming pools, water quality protection (constructed wetlands) and
infiltration reservoirs.
Reservoirs can have many functions of the economic and natural character. If they are designed and constructed
properly they can be a valuable element of the natural landscape in rural areas. Basic data for designing
of small reservoirs serving mainly recreational (decorative) purposes and those used for water treatment and
ground water recharge are given in the paper.

Case study:The Holbina-Dunavat Restoration Project Holbina-Dunavat area (S=5630 ha) has been studied from 1994 in order to establish a strategy for ecological restoration by a reintegration of the fish farm basins with the surrounding wetlands by opening the ring dikes around the basins. The positive effects are both ecological (wetland restoration, natural habitat and breeding area for fish and aquatic birds) and socio-economical (development of traditional activities, fishing, livestock and reed harvesting, creation of recreational areas for ecotourism) for the local people.

SMIVAL Rapport d'activité 2009 (Activity report 2009) The SMIVAL (Syndicat Mixte Interdépartemental de la Vallée de la Lèze - an association of 24 communes localised in the Lèze's valley) has been created in 2003. It is responsible for leading, for defining and for implementing actions for a qualitative and quantitative use of the Lèze and its tributaries and for preventing its floods. For preventing floods, an actions programme (called PAPI) has been set up. One action refers to the plantation of floodbreaking hedgerows in order to slow down the flood peak.
Hedgerows are located across the flooding plain of the river and they are regularly spaced every 300 to 500 metres. Partially obstructing the flow, hedges can slow running water to dissipate the force and reduce the impacts of flooding. This is a cumulative effect that is measured across the entire valley, with a significant decrease in rates. According to thre PAPI, 75 km of floodbreaking hedgerows were initially planned to be planted until 2016.

The evolution process in Holbina-Dunavat area during restoration works Mainly during the last decades of the 20th century, the Danube Delta has suffered from human interventions that led to dramatic changes in some areas. These interventions consisted in the dyking of large areas for the purpose of agricultural use, intensive fish-farming and forestry, which resulted in dramatic alterations or disturbances of the water balance. This again had effects on the alteration of natural processes, the ecological balance as well as the characteristic functions of wetlands and led to a deterioration or worse, the loss of area-specific habitats. When the transformation measures were stopped in early 1990, the dyked area covered 97.408 ha (22 %) of the total 482.592 ha. Holbina-Dunavat Restoration Project, Romania

Vegetated ditches for treatment of surface water with highly fluctuating water regime Vegetated drainage ditches (VDD) as a type of constructed wetland primarily serve to remove and store excess water associated with irrigation and storm events. Current research suggests using a VDD as an additional practice in the mitigation of surface water pollution. The VDD for water treatment of the Glinscica River was constructed in 2006. The efficiency of the system was evaluated in 2008 and 2009 regarding the reduction of SS, COD, BOD5, NH4-N, NO3-N, NO2-N, TN, ON and TP. The microbiological association developed in the VDD was analyzed with a focus on the identification and quantification of the narG gene as a denitrification indicator. This paper discusses the efficiency of pollution removal and the distribution of the narG gene within the VDD. The results showed that the highly fluctuating water regime was the main reason for the even distribution and abundance of the narG gene throughout the system, regardless of oxygen saturation or the nutrient status of the wastewater. With the exception of SS, pollutant concentrations met the permitted outflow levels. Pollution Treatment on the Glinščica, Slovenia

kowalewski.htm An increase of water retention in the programmes of small retention in the country to the
year 2015 is estimated at 1141 million m3. It means annual mean increase of retention capacity by
c. 60 million m3. Accomplishment of relevant actions in the years 1997†“2007 allowed collecting
57 million m3 in lakes, c. 56 million m3 in artificial reservoirs, 18.5 million m3 in fishponds, c. 10.5
million m3 with the channel retention and over 2 million m3 in other investments. It makes total increase
of water retention by 142 million m3 which is 12.4% of target retention and the mean annual
increment of c. 13 million m3.
The paper presents volumes of retained water, sources and structure of financing, mean unit costs
of retention increments and the increase of retention capacity in particular voivodships (acc. to new
administration division) in the years 1998†“2007.
