Studies Regarding the Eutrophication of the Negreni Reservoir In Botosani County

Abstract

The deterioration through eutrophication of the waters from natural and/or artificial reservoirs represents one of the most important problems for administrators and customers of water resources systems. This work presents some studies performed at the Negreni reservoir in Botosani County, situated on The Baseu River. It can not be used as drinkable water anymore, due to the uncontrolled development of vegetation. The causes of this phenomenon are complex. Anthropological activities are mainly responsible for disturbing the fragile ecological balance. Cleaning may be a valid solution, but it is always better to preserve and prevent, than to repair.
