Daniel Constantin DIACONU
ABSTRACT. „Water is not any kind of trading product, but a heritage that must be maintained, protected and treated as such” – a new European strategy and policy in the field of water management is necessary to be implemented after the sustainable development concept has reached its purpose and limits in this field. The storage lakes made along the water streams led to the increase of the water quantity used in Romania. The placement conditions and the method of using water volumes have led to the formation of storage lakes of different volumes in various physical-geographical conditions, which in time were subjected to a series of pressures which have also generated degradations of the quality thereof and of the environmental factors. In this context the aim is to prevent the deterioration, the protection and improvement of the state of aquatic ecosystems, based on the water requirements thereof, to the permanent interactions between aquatic ecosystems and adjacent terrestrial ecosystems and wet areas.
Keywords: Storage lake, exploitation regime, integrated management
