Today we opened another restored side arm within the Danube inland delta.
We have thus released water into a 4.4 km long section of the river branch and into the wetlands and depressions that this strem feeds. As part of the work we carried out in the summer, we dredged 1.1 km of the branch together with the Nautilus company and installed a sluice gate, something like a water tap. Thanks to it, we can manipulate the water in the arm and the surrounding wetlands and, if necessary and for forest management, release less of it into the area. This option was requested by Forests of the Slovak Republic and managed to find a solution to this problem. Because things can be solved for the benefit of nature and users, as long as there is a will.
We are happy with this restoration, especially here, in the section greatly affected by the Gabčíkovo Dam, where water is generally absent. Thanks to this activity, we will be able to benefit a little more from the volumes that flow here and support fish, forests, amphibians. Life.
We want to thank to our partners from Water Research Institute for their expert study and cooperation.
