Environment - Drainage
 Rivers: The Danube is the main collector of radiusdistributed rivers, most of them springing from the
Carpathians.
 The four longest rivers have their source in the Eastern
Carpathians: Olt, Mures, Siret and Prut. Also Tisa, on the
northern border and Somesul Mare (Maramures region).
 As naturak assets we should add more than 2,000 mineral
water springs, many of them termal ones.
 Lakes: The mountain lakes are either of glacial origin
(Bucura and Zanoaga in the Retezat), volcanic, originated
in a former volcanic crater ( Saint Ana Lake in Ciomatu
Mare Massif) or formed by natural barrage ( Rosu Lake in
Hasmas Mountains).
 There are also lakes in the plains range as health spas
(Amara, Sarat Lake) or as holiday/fishing resorts (Snagov,
Caldarusani).
- 97,4 % of Romania’s surface is located in the Danube River basin
- Romania represents 29% from Danube River basin surface
- The danube River has 37.7% of his length on Romanian territory

BUCHAREST – ILFOV REGION
 It is formed by Bucharest, the capital of Romania, and Ilfov
County, located within the south of the country, in the central
part of the Romanian Plane. In 2008 the localities network of
Buchartest – Ilfov Region has 8 towns, 35 communes and 100
villages.
 From these towns, only Bucharest is municipality with around 2
millions inhabitants.
 Bucharest is situated on the rivers Dambovitza and Colentina.
Colentina developed a series of lakes which modified the
morphology and the initial topoclimat: Mogosoaia, Straulesti,
Baneasa, Herastrau, Floreasca, Tei, Fundeni, Pantelimon).
Some of these lakes soroundings were improved by touristical /
agreement reasons, but others are still neglected .

Dobroesti - 6 km far from Bucharest
We decided to choose Dobroesti area –
as a basis for establishing water trail
 Reasons:
 The proximity: 6 km far from Bucharest
 The great touristic attraction
 Geographical and cultural potential
(sustainable development)
 Natural resources education and lifelong
learning in a rural/suburban area
 Recreational vehicles, paddling classes
 Volunteering Resources Mobilisation
 Capacity building of NGOs and local
decision makers.
