Water as a natural system

Geomorphology, typologies and dynamics of water areas

• Describe the water areas of your area in the contxt of the wider water system

Colentina springs from the hills of Târgoviște (from the Sotanga-Doiceşti area), is a tributary of Dâmboviţa and covers a route of 98 km, of which 37.4 km on the area of ​​Bucharest. In the entrance area of ​​Bucharest, Colentina forms a chain of natural lakes: Mogoşoaia, Băneasa, Herăstrău, Floreasca, Tei, Plumbuita, Fundeni, Pantelimon. Based on studies completed in 1930, the work of rehabilitating the lakes of Colentina and transforming the swamps in the northeast of the capital into picturesque and healthy places began 2 years later. Thus, the staging of the works included: stage I - construction of the artificial reservoir Buftea (completion September 1934), stage II - arrangement of Băneasa and Herăstrău lakes (completion June 1935), stage III - arrangement of Floreasca lake (completion in September 1936), stage IV - arrangement Tei Lake (completed in November 1937) and stage V arrangement of Fundeni lake (1938-1939). Later, the Pantelimon and Cernica lakes were arranged.3 Salba lakes are a real oasis of greenery and oxygen source, contributing to the improvement of the local climate and the reduction of pollution by absorbing a significant amount of dust suspended in the air. ^[1]

• How does water appear in the landscape of your living lab? What types of water areas are common?

The Fundeni 1 area represents an anthropized lake determined by the Colentina River. When stormwater discharges are high, the flow of the river increases and the near areas can become unstable. The bluff lines are also anthropized so the water will not flow into the living areas. In geomorphological terms, we can describe Fundeni 1 as a floodplain for the main Colentina river channel.

• Please identify the water bodies' catchment areas, tributaries and floodplains

Catchment areas to N-V Barajul Tei (Fig. 3) and Barajul Stăvilar to N-E. The areas where water accumulates before reaching the Tei - Fundeni (1st segment) are the Tei Dam to the N-W and the Stavilar Dam to the N-E. The capacity of this Fundeni Lake is 2.5 million cubic meters in an area of ​​120 Ha. The dam’s height is 9.00 m, the type is PO (Homogeneous earth ). The total volume at NME (million cubic meters) is 1,370, the attenuation volume (million cubic meters) is 0.470 (Fig. 5), and the use is of type V (flood protection), P (fish farming), R (leisure, recreation), X (other uses that do not fall into the mentioned types). 1936 plans to systematize and rehabilitate the northern lakes of the Colentina River aimed at designing dams and canals along the river not only in terms of leisure and health of city dwellers, but also in terms of industry, so we have in the studied segment the Thermal Power Factory in connection with the Pantelimon Canal in the NE, And NV we have the Hydroelectric Factory.

• Which dynamics do these water areas have?

Fluid dynamics is a scientific discipline that deals with fluid flows. It is a part of fluid mechanics that falls into two categories: Hydrodynamics and Aerodynamics. Hydrodynamics of the first part of Lake Fundeni with a length of 1.8 km + 800 m of island from which accessible 1.5 km presents a namesake course of water flowing through a narrower channel to the other lake. We have a 500-meter splash, which ends abruptly in a wasteland, which was unfortunately "invaded" by waste. Panorama to the neighborhoods Colentina and Plumbuita is impressive, the park being arranged right on one of the terraces. From here, to us we head towards the Obor-Pantelimon railway and towards dam, we have to sneak past the houses Roma, on a road affected by manure from the surroundings. Before the railway, we arrived in the little "frățiorul" of the park I left behind behind, another smaller green space called "Walls between the Living", also arranged in 2012 and baptized after the homonymous street at the end of which it is located.

• Have there been any flood events in the past?

Historic floods along the Colentina River occurred in July 1970, July 1972 and July 1975. The most important flood was that of 1975 in the Colacu locality, but none of the events did not take place in the Fundeni Lake area, but was taken into account systematization and remediation of the Colentina River and lakes, so the segment studied Lake Fundeni, subsequently benefited from a systematization that designed the Tei - Fundeni Canal to connect Lake Floreasca with Lake Fundeni and avoid possible flooding(Fig. 1, 2) The cross section and at the bottom it has slopes of 1;5 m; 1;4; 1;2; and 1: 1,5 reaching a crown width of 44,00m. The difference between Floreasca - Tei and Fundeni is 9,00m and downstream it's 2,00m. The construction of the Tei-Fundeni Channel was planned for the rectification of the Colentina River. The length of the channel is 3 km.

Water as a living space

• Which habitats can be found in and along the water areas of your area?

Lake Fundeni 1 is part of the chain of lakes of Colentina. The whole area is characterized by the same habitats, although around the studied area there are fewer planted areas and more spontaneous vegetation than in other areas of the Colentina River.

The vegetation and fauna of the Colentina River on its route before and after the exit from Bucharest includes creatures specific to the aquatic and plain area. It includes several species of fish (artificially introduced), including dwarf catfish, crucian carp, perch, bream, etc., a number of birds such as wild duck, night heron, rodent, gull, brown cormorant, stork, swan, etc. as well as amphibians and reptiles such as the Romanian aquatic turtle (protected species), the water snake, the great lake frog, etc. The green spaces around the water include plants such as frogs, firs, reeds, rushes, lentils, wild daffodils (protected species), specific trees, especially willow, etc. During the summer, the lakes show the phenomenon of algal blooms due to the high concentration of phosphorus and nitrogen in the water due to the discharge into the lake of insufficiently treated wastewater from the riparian localities, which damages the flora and fauna in the area.

Community Mapping

What is to be mapped here?

• Social groups from within the community, for example the youth, kids, students, parents, the retired etc. Typically, these groups have specific needs, which you can also make explicit on the map. These people might not be organized in any way, but they are usually present in the context you are observing
• Local stakeholder groups: these groups are organized in one or the other way. They only exist within the community context you are observing. For example: the local community center, local churches, local interest groups, the landowners, small businesses and retailers
• External stakeholder groups are not necessarily present in the environment you are observing, but they may have strong stakes and interests. These can be local authorities, politicians, associations, care services etc.
• For each group, you may identify their needs, objectives, power and capacities
• You may also identify gaps and power conflicts
• Please try to redepict these elements in an integrated way and in relation to your water landscape. What is the relationship between these groups? Are they close or distanced from each other? Who is more powerful? Which voices are hardly heard? Do they have any shared concerns?
