| Green potential of a constructed wetland with reed bed filters on a 172 ha urban project near Reims (France). Project evolution analysis | A 172 ha town planning project has been developed near Reims (France) for the last five years. For one of the catchments of this area (72ha) a 15 000 m3 detention pond is being built, in a difficult hydrogeological context since ground water level may rise up to the natural ground. The characteristics of this detention pond have drastically changed along the design process: the first hypothesis were based upon a deep concrete tank, but a constructed wetland has finally been chosen. This paper deals with the constructed wetland characteristics itself on the ecological point of view (deepness, shape...). It also points the design process that allowed such an evolution, thanks to both the designer proposals and the public authority requirements | Constructed wetland with reed bed filters near Reims, France |

| KÖRÖS-ÉRI BELVíZFÅCSATORNA MEDERFEJLESZTÉSE ÉS REKONSTRUKCIÓJA Riverbed development and reconstruction of the Körös-stream drainage channel. “ Feasibility study | Upgrade of the stream†™s water management structures to be able to cope with both water extremes: floods and water shortage. Reconnecting former floodplains at the estuary on a 2500 meter section. Upgrade of the sluices to be able to retain water and the cleaning of the flow bottlenecks to facilitate runoff at flood events. At the settlement section of the stream the development targeted to provide the necessary capacity to drain the residential area. Upstream of the settlement retention pond were created to control runoff through the town and store water. | Multi-purpose water management development along the Körös-ér, Hungary |

| 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. |

| BIOMURA - Conservation of biodiversity of the Mura river in Slovenia | The bed of the river Mura that flows through NE Slovenia is well preserved, especially in the middle and lower stream, where it is characterised by embankment erosion, deposition of the sand, flooding and side-channels. Deepening of the riverbed due to send accumulation behind the dams of hydropower stations in Austria, however, has resulted in a greater risk of flooding. There are no dams on Slovenian river section, but plans to alter this situation are resurfacing. | Conservation of Mura banks, Slovenia |

| Kretinga Special plan and Stormwater Treatment, Akmena-Dane, Lithuania, Report 4.3.3. | †¢ This is the first time that this type of ecological adapted stormwater investments have been implemented in Lithuania. If they function as well as predicted and can be disseminated through appropriate channels, there should be good possibilities to introduce similar investments in other Lithuanian towns. †¢ The stormwater Special Plan developed introduces a new approach towards more sustainable stormwater solution from an environmental perspective. A next step would be to introduce likewise Special Plans in other towns/cities in the south Baltic Sea area. If more towns would follow the example by Kretinga this could, in a long term, have a significant positive impact of decreasing harmful substances to the Baltic Sea. |

| Case study:The Babina Restoration Project | Until the 20th century vast areas of the Danube Delta faced only minimal human impacts through extensive fishery and reed harvesting. Since then the Danube Delta has undergone multiple human impacts like embankment, channelization and drainage. Moreover, large areas were diked and the polders used for agriculture. The Babina polder (2.100 ha) was reconnected to the Danube in 1994 and recovery has been monitored by the Danube Delta National Institute for Research and Development. Within a few years a redevelopment of the site-specific biodiversity occurred and ecosystem services like nutrient retention and fish recruitment became obvious. Additionally, the reconnected polder enable reed harvesting, grazing, fishing and ecotourism. | Babina Restoration Project, Romania |
