Perspective Si Proiectii La Gurile Dunarii Perspective si proiectii la gurile Dunarii Tulcea 23.05.2013 Dintre statele dunarene, România detine cea mai mare suprafata din bazinul Dunarii (aproximativ 30 la suta), sectorul cel mai lung al fluviului (1.076 kilometri, mai mult de jumatate din cursul navigabil) precum si Delta Dunarii, un ecosistem unic de importanta internationala. În ceea ce priveste parcursul Dunarii în România, se pot mentiona urmatoarele: aceasta parcurge 4 regiuni de dezvoltare, 12 judete în cadrul carora se afla 25 de municipii si 56 de orase, poli de crestere precum Constanta si Craiova sau poli de dezvoltare urbana, respectiv Braila si Galati. Judetele din regiunea Dunarii reprezinta 30,1% din suprafata totala a tarii si 33,8% (7,3 milioane locuitori, la 1 iulie 2007) din populatia României. În regiunea strabatuta de Dunare în România se afla 7 parcuri nationale. Tot pe teritoriul tarii noastre are loc si varsarea în Marea Neagra, fluviul formând Delta Dunarii, inclusa în patrimoniul mondial al UNESCO începând din anul 1991 ca rezervatie a biosferei. Judeţul Tulcea este situat în extremitatea de E-SE a României, în partea central-nordică a Dobrogei, la gurile Dunării, cu ieşire la Marea Neagră (în E), la graniţa cu Republica Moldova şi Ucraina (în N), limitat de judeţele Galaţi (NV), Brăila (V) şi Constanţa (S), la intersecţia paralelei de 45 latitudine N cu meridianul de 29 longitudine E. Pe teritoriul judeţului se află punctul extrem estic al României, la Sulina. Suprafaţa totală este de 8499 kmp (3,56% din suprafaţa ţării), locul 4 pe ţară, după judetele Timiş, Suceava şi Caraş-Severin. Din suprafaţa totală a judeţului, 3446 kmp reprezintă suprafaţa zonelor umede constituită din Delta Dunării şi Complexul Lagunar Razim Sinoie si cuprinde unitati fizico-geografice deosebite, atât din punct de vedere morfologic, cât si genetic. Cea mai importanta comoara a judetului o reprezinta Rezervatia Biosferei Delta Dunarii, care detine triplu statut de protectie la nivel international: • Rezervatie a Biosferei, desemnata de Comitetul UNESCO, în cadrul programului “Omul si Biosfera” (1990), • Zona Umeda de Importanta Internationala, desemnata de Secretariatul Conventiei Ramsar (septembrie 1991), • Sit al Patrimoniului Natural Universal, recunoscut de UNESCO (decembrie 1991). In urma unei analize primare a situatiei economico-sociale a judetului si a necesitatilor acestuia, Consiliul Judetean a considerat ca este necesar sa fie elaborate o strategie de dezvoltare a judetului Tulcea si implicit o strategie integrate de dezvoltare durabila a Deltei Dunarii in care au fost identificate o suma de obiective avand drept scop dezvoltarea judetului Tulcea si a zonei Delta Dunarii, care cuprinde actiuni pe domenii de responsabilitate multipla atat a Consiliului Judetean Tulcea in calitate de beneficiar, cat si de partener in proiectele de dezvoltare durabila a judetului Tulcea si implicit a Deltei Dunarii, cat si a regiunii si a zonelor limitrofe judetului Tulcea bazate pe dezvoltarea polilor de crestere invecinati, respectiv Constanta cat si Braila – Galati, dupa cum urmeaza pe componente de activitati: INFRASTRUCTURA 1.

  • WWF Position “Bystroye Canal” / Danube-Black Sea Deep
    WWF Position May 2009 “Bystroye Canal” / Danube-Black Sea Deep Navigation Channel Since 2004, the Ukrainian government has been constructing a canal in the Danube Delta referred to in the official documentation as the Danube-Black Sea Deep Navigation Channel, or “Bystroye canal” as it widely known as an alternative to the Sulina Channel on Romanian territory. The project has been carried out with a number of breaches of international commitments. Local and international stakeholders and environmental organisations have been highly concerned about its likely negative environmental impacts on the unique species and habitats of the Delta, which is protected under the UNESCO Man and Biosphere Programme ( for chronology of events please, see www.panda.org/dcpo). The decision to construct the canal has been based neither on solid socio- economic and environmental analysis nor on proper assessment of alternatives WWF therefore calls for a halt to all further works on a deep sea canal along the Bystroye arm. WWF recommends joint operation of the existing Sulina Channel by Romania and Ukraine as the most economically and environmentally viable option. Should the Ukrainian government not give up its plan to construct a navigation channel on national territory, WWF proposes the careful consideration of alternatives outside the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve. Project poses severe threat to Danube Delta biodiversity Further works on a deep sea canal along the Bystroye branch presents a severe threat to the Danube Delta’s biodiversity as the canal cuts through the heart of the Ukrainian Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve – an environmentally sensitive area protected by several international agreements.

  • Treating Two 18Th Century Maps of the Danube in Association with Google-Provided Imagery
    ON THE DIGITAL REVIVAL OF HISTORIC CARTOGRAPHY: TREATING TWO 18TH CENTURY MAPS OF THE DANUBE IN ASSOCIATION WITH GOOGLE-PROVIDED IMAGERY Evangelos Livieratos Angeliki Tsorlini Maria Pazarli [email protected] Chrysoula Boutoura Myron Myridis Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Faculty of Surveying Engineering University Campus, Box 497 GRE - 541 24 Thessaloniki, Greece Abstract The great navigable Danube River (known as the Istros River to the Ancient Greeks and as one of the crucial ends of the Roman Empire northern territories) is an emblematic fluvial feature of the overall European historic and cultural heritage in the large. Originating in the German Black Forest as two small rivers (Brigach and Breg) converging at the town of Donaueschingen, Danube is flowing for almost 2850 km mainly eastwards, passing through ten states (Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova and Ukraine) and four European capitals (Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest and Belgrade) with embouchure in the west coasts of the Black Sea via the Danube Delta, mainly in Romania. Danube played a profound role in the European political, social, economic and cultural history influencing in a multifold manner the heritage of many European nations, some of those without even a physical connection with the River, as it is the case of the Greeks, to whom the Danube is a reference to their own 18th century Enlightenment movement. Due to Danube’s important role in History, the extensive emphasis to its cartographic depiction was obviously a conditio sine qua non especially in the 17th and 18th century European cartography. In this paper, taking advantage of the modern digital technologies as applied in the recently established domain of cartographic heritage, two important and historically significant 18th century maps of the Danube are comparatively discussed in view also to the reference possibilities available today in relevant studies by the digital maps offered by powerful providers as e.g.

  • Romania: Danube Delta Integrated Sustainable Development Strategy
    Romania: Danube Delta Integrated Sustainable Development Strategy About the Danube Delta Region The Danube Delta is one of the continent’s most valuable habitats for specific delta wildlife and biodiversity. Established as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and a Ramsar site in 1990, it is the Europe’s second largest delta, and the best preserved of European deltas. The most significant physical and ecological feature of the Danube Delta is its vast expanse of wetlands, including freshwater marsh, lakes and ponds, streams and channels. With an area of 3,446 km2, is the world’s largest wetland. Only 9% of the area is permanently above water. The Delta hosts extraordinary biodiversity and provides important environmental services. It is the home of over 1,200 varieties of plants, 300 species of birds, as well as 45 freshwater fish species in its numerous lakes and marshes. There are 16 strictly protected areas in the delta where no economic activities are allowed, and areas for ecological rehabilitation and buffer zones between economical areas where tourist activities are permitted as long as the environment is protected. Dual Challenge in Developing the Danube Delta A dual challenge for the sustainable development of the Danube Delta is the conservation of its ecological assets and improvement of the quality of life for its residents. The Danube Delta is the largest remaining natural delta in Europe and one of the largest in the world. It is also the only river that is entirely contained within a Biosphere Reserve. It is important to conserve all of its ecological assets. 1 Danube Delta is perhaps one of the least inhabited regions of temperate Europe, with only about 10,000 people in one town (Sulina) and about 20 scattered villages.

  • The Danube-Hydrographic Polarisation European Axis. State-Of-The-Art
    RISCURI ŞI CATASTROFE, NR. XVI, VOL. 20, NR. 1/2017 THE DANUBE-HYDROGRAPHIC POLARISATION EUROPEAN AXIS. STATE-OF-THE-ART P. GÂŞTESCU1 Abstract.- The Danube- hydrographic polarisation european axis.State-of- the-art The Danube has more „international” character than any other great river, strung along water course four national capitals (Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest,Belgrad), several other cities and hundreds of towns and villages, passes through human habitation of widely varying levels of development. The Danube is the second largest water course in Europe (after the Volga) in terms of length (2860 km), drainage basin (817,000 km2) and multiannual mean dischrge (6,510 m³/sec. entry into Danube Delta).Through the latitudinal development of the Danube River Basin, in the Western and Central European space with different climate conditions (ocean and continental temperate), the liquid discharge regime, with high waters during spring and early summer is reflecting a moderate variation (K=Qmax/Qmin-8.9 at Ceatal Chilia).The Danube is a navigable waterway of significant importance and since ancient times it has helped form links between the populations inhabiting its banks.Traces of settlment date backs thousands of years as people were attracted by fertile floodplains and terraces,the wildlife in wilow forest and the wealth of fish populating the river itself and many great lakes. Unfortunately, this was not always been a bridgeway.There had been times,and they spaned five hundred yeares,when the lower course divided peoples. The Romans turned the river into a political frontier,not easily surmounted because of the force resistance put up by the autochtonous populatoin, the Dacians, in particular.
