  15. Diffuse pollution sources inFizes watershed curriculumin natural environmental science, vol. 2, 2010

  16. Fizeş Watershed diffuses pollution assessment using WENNERBLOM model INPUT PARAMETRS • rural settlements - 10 km2; • animal units (12619 equivalent cows from which 9000 dairy cows); • 19745 inhabitants with individual sewer system (with 20% using dry toilets); • industrial pollution sources – 2 (S.C. NAPOLACT S.A. - Ţaga Section and SNGN ROMGAZ MEDIAŞ- Ţaga section). • watershed area - 562 km2; • annual runoff average - 1,20 m3/s; • runoff - 68 mm/an; • forest land area -103 km2; • arable and pasture land area - 442 km2; • mire/wetlands - 3 km2; • lakes - 4 km2; curriculumin natural environmental science, vol. 2, 2010

  17. The main classes of analysed measures Measures targeted on the reduction of individual pollution sources: building up sewage and drinking water facilities, waste water treatment plans both for human agglomerations and industrial enterprises, septic tanks. Measures for conservation and restoration of ecosystem: rehabilitation of natural wetlands; creation of buffer zones and natural corridors Measures for controlling diffuse pollution: on the main river course and banks (rehabilitation of longitudinal and lateral connectivity of the river, rehabilitation of natural riparian vegetation); for the flood plain (rehabilitation of wetlands, specific agricultural practices); for the hillside (implementing the Code for Good Agricultural Practices, building up some grass and heath strips, usage of specific local crops in order to prevent erosion); for the watershed (rehabilitation and restoration of natural vegetation, especially forest vegetation) curriculumin natural environmental science, vol. 2, 2010

  18. Provisions of goods and services by aquatic ecosystems and the role of management interface in these interactions curriculumin natural environmental science, vol. 2, 2010

  19. Project measures • building of small dimension dams (at least 14), for partially blocking selected waterway in order to create a total area of 250 ha of ponds and wetlands, and reforesting a surface of 430 ha. • local flora species (shrubs and trees) will be planted on the vicinity of roads and waterway in order to establish green corridors, with a total surface of aprox. 500 ha. • the whole area (more than 40000 ha) will be transformed in a functional network of green corridors, thus creating a perfect space for migratory species. • The Fizes river corridor will connect two of the most important watersheds in Romania, Somes and Mures, facilitating bird migration between these two areas. curriculumin natural environmental science, vol. 2, 2010

  20. Expected results • a significant improvement of water quality. • the tourism development development of the whole area. • touristic activity  jobs for at least 300 inhabitants in the area. • small private ponds and agro-touristic pensions.  curriculumin natural environmental science, vol. 2, 2010

  21. Conclusions • Wetland restoration and creation proposals must be viewed with great care. • Clear, site-specific measurable goals should be established. • Wetlands should, in general, be designed to be self-sustaining systems and persistent features of the landscapes. • Wetland design should consider relationship of the wetland to the watershed, water sources, other wetlands in the watershed, and adjacent upland and deepwater habitat. • Increasing public awareness towards environmental problems and benefits of eco-friendly agriculture and ecosystem services can prove to be a good example and count more in the balance of benefits and losses. curriculumin natural environmental science, vol. 2, 2010
