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.

Integrated Management Plan of The Natural Park Comana Parcul Natural Comana infiintat prin Hotararea de Guvern nr. 2151 din decembrie 2004 este situat in zona de sud a Romaniei, la distanta aproximativ egala intre Bucuresti si Giurgiu. Decizia de constituire a parcului a fost adoptata in baza documentatiei tehnice si stiintifice elaborate inca din anul 1954 de catre Academia Romana in vederea delimitarii si protejarii a doua arii de importanta floristica deosebita, respectiv Rezervatia Stiintifica de ghimpe (Ruscus aculeatus) si Rezervatia Stiintifica de bujor (Paeonia peregrina). Acestor doua rezervatii li s-a adaugat incepand din anul 2004 Balta Comana, ca rezervatie naturala si zona de protectie avifaunistica. Restoration on Comana wetlands, Romania
Ecological restoration in Czech Republic The main objectives of the mire restoration programme were: (i)restoration of natural (or near-natural) mire hydrology; (ii) enhancement of peat-forming vegetation and processes, (iii) conservation of natural mire biodiversity; and (iv) involvement of the public into local mire conservation.
Regarding hydrology, the aim of the restoration was to raise the water table to a natural (pre-drainage) level, decrease the /uctuations, and retain su1cient water in the mires especially during the driest periods.

Ecological Restoration of Mata-Radeanu Complex The Lower Prut Floodplain Natural Park is the entrance of the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve. It lies on the flyway route of hundreds of migratory birds. The ecological importance of the park has been recognised at national as well as international levels.The project objective is to improve the conservation status of 13 priority and more than 50 non-priority bird species listed in the Birds Directive and present in the Lower Prut Floodplain Natural Park. A main aim is to resolve the environmental problems caused by human activities such as agriculture, pasturage, fishery and tourism in and around the Park. To deal with the degradation of hydrological structures, the project also aims to re-establish the ecological balance of the lakes, including improvement of the water level and its maintenance. The results of the project are linked by the designation of Mata – Radeanu Complex as Special Protected Area NATURA 2000 within The Lower Prut Floodplain Natural Park. Through the ecological restoration works at Mata – Radeanu Complex, the water level is maintained so the habitats are protected as in drought period so in the floods ones.
