Ciobarciu Wetland - present situation

Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

The Ciobarciu Wetland Project is an ecological rehabilitation project in the valley of the river Prut. In order to prevent flooding and to extend agricultural surfaces, the common floodplain of Prut and Jijia was embanked. Jijia river course was deviated by digging a channel to the Prut at Chiperesti. The last 56 km of the Jijia river, which is parallel to the Prut, has been cut-off (it is now known as the Old Jijia). The Old Jijia can be supplied with water from the Jijia by the hydrotechnical knot at Chiperesti when needed. Otherwise, the Old Jijia is only supplied from its own river basin by four small tributaries with intermittent flow. The Ciobarciu Wetland was created in October 2006 after first flooding of this area.
