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.
