polluted during floods because of sewers

overflowing and through the loss of chemicals

from industry and agriculture. The province needs

instruments to chart the risks and to act

effectively. Risk charts are an essential part of

that effort. The charts are a unique Dutch product

that provides a process and a model to support

regional calamity management in a cost-effective

manner.

The main goal of the project is to make regional

calamities more manageable, by marketing risk

charts as an instrument in disaster prevention in

Eastern Europe.

of degraded wetlands in the Netherlands. The

main results of the project were the modeling of

water, sediment and nutrient transport, the

ecological functioning of floodplain lakes

(plankton, vegetation, fish) in relation to

hydrology, water quality and reed beds, the trans

boundary maps focused on e.g. vegetation, fish-

eating birds, the exchange of experience on water

management and the strengthening of the

technical and managerial capacities, especially of

7. Controlling floods on the Danube in

Romania

Project Description

Cat´s Bend, on the Danube in Romania between

the cities of Galati and Isaccea, has suffered from

periodic flooding for many years. After the most

recent floods, the Romanian government has

designated Cat´s Bend as a priority area for flood

control measures. The 'Room for the River'

approach has been introduced first in Cat's Bend.

The aim is to draft spatial development plans,

together with regional partners, for integrated

flood protection in the Cat´s Bend area, based on

the Space for the River approach. With these

detailed flood scenarios the project aims to

encourage the support and involvement of local

stakeholders and to improve cooperation between

local partners.

8. Costuleni Wetland Project

Project Description

Within the project, the water flow was restored in

a cut-off part of the Jijia River. A surface of 250

ha floodplain grassland was purchased along the

river branch, which was then transformed into a

wetland. Issues such as the loss of wetlands

essential for bird and plants and the loss of

floodplain resulting from agricultural and irrigation

practices were addressed by removing

embankments and restoring flow to an old river

course. The project has had numerous social

benefits as well as improving the ecology of the

area.

In the process, Apele Romane acquired

experience in ecological restoration and

interactive planning, and partnerships were built

between Apele Romane, regional authorities,

NGOs and universities, in the field of ecological

restoration.

dams in the mining region of Baia Mare

Project Description

For centuries, this area has had mining sludge

depots, usually in the form of tailing ponds. Many

ponds are several kilometers long and have dikes

up to 40 meters high. The dike around one of the

ponds gave way in January 2000, after heavy

rainfall, and allowed tons of mining sludge

containing cyanide to pour into Tisa River, thus

causing an environmental disaster that had

economic repercussions for the fishing, livestock

and tourism industries, besides the immediate

impact on public health.

Within this project, safe dikes and drains were

built at one of the ponds used to store mining

waste (tailing) near Baia Mare. Moreover, a plan

of action was drafted within the project, for

rehabilitating and making environmental

improvements to approximately 20 tailing ponds.

Danube fish species. The dam complexes consist

of weirs, ship locks and hydropower stations. The

Iron gates are the first impassable obstacles in

the Danube from the black sea and located at ca.

850 km distance from the estuary in the Black

sea. Restoration of river connectivity at these

sites would reopen a reach of more than 800 km

upstream. This will provide suitable habitat and

spawning grounds along the Danube and its

tributaries to several migratory fish species.The

goals are to extend the possibilities for different

sturgeon species and other migratory fish to

migrate 800 km further upstream in the Danube

river system.

beneath the visible surface. Groundwater

consultancy deals with the ‘invisible’ water flowing

in the ground and mediation focuses on interests

and motives in conflicts.

For both, visible and tangible elements are often

the starting points, for example, the subsidence of

structures due to groundwater abstraction or the

conflicting standpoints of provincial and private

stakeholders in a groundwater pollution case.

Zandvoort Municipality

Description

At the location of what is today Zandvoort aan

Zee, in 1100 there was a small settlement of

fisher folk, who led a marginal existence. They

chose the site well, since this location was slightly

lower than the surrounding land, protected

against the weather, and with easy access to the

beach. Such a low-lying area in the dunes was

known as a Sandevoerde or sand ford. This

indeed is the origin of the name Zandvoort and

this is still the official name of the village.

Zandvoort aan Zee however is the most widely

used name.
