Wetland classification Overview of projects in the Black Sea Danube region Nutrient reduction Economics

Classification of wetlands Natural wetlands (swamps, marshes and similar areas along edges of water bodies) Rehabilitated Wetlands (pulling out dikes, redirecting streams and rivers, diversifying intensive agricultural practices) Constructed Wetlands (A modified natural or constructed shallow basin for treatment of contaminated waters by wetland vegetation)

Examples on different types of actions CountryProject NameType of action (among others) Albania/ Macedonia (UNDP) Integrated Ecosystem Management in the Prespa Lakes Basin of Albania, FYR-Macedonia and Greece Construction of SFS/FWS systems Bosnia-Herzegovina (WB) Water Quality Protection ProjectCombination of constructed SFS, FWS and Natural wetland systems Bulgaria (WB)Wetland Restoration and Pollution Reduction ProjectRehabilitation of Natural Wetlands

Wetlands for Nutrient Reduction Construction of Wetlands to clean wastewater (Artificially created wetland with optimized functions for cleaning specific types of wastewater) Using natural wetlands to clean wastewater (Discharging directly into Wetlands, little alteration in the natural dynamics, not able to target specific types of wastewater, mainly used for tertiary treatment)

Constructed Wetlands Horizontal Flow System Vertical Flow System

Wastewater Sources Natural agricultural run-off (Fields, etc) Agricultural manure, sludge Domestic wastewater Complex wastewater from sources such as: Slaughter houses Dairies Printing houses Flower production Oil Exploration water Tanneries
