Abstract

In Romania there are two nature reserves with salt water, Mangalia and Techirghiol Lakes. They are currently facing new environmental issues. Their therapeutic mud, well known since the 19th century, has recently been affected by new deep-water streams. They occurred as a result of numerous local earthquakes of low intensity. The composition of water and saprophytic sludge changes due to their flow rate. Under these conditions, new species of freshwater-specific vegetation have developed, which has led to a complex process of eutrophication of the lakes. This produces a much faster vegetable sludge that disturbs the balance of the old active, saprophytic one. Experimental measurements performed during 2015-2018 illustrate the current environmental conditions, associated with the living conditions of birds and animals existing here, many of them protected by law. For the rehabilitation of the Techirghiol Lake, a prototype was implemented, currently being patented in Romania, and placed on a mobile pontoon powered by photovoltaic panels. He is able to collect and partially dry this newly developed mud. It is described its scheme as well as the main steps during an operating cycle. This model is suitable for nature reserves because it does not disturb the environment. The extracted sludge is additionally dried in specially arranged places to be used in agriculture as an organic fertilizer, to restore the quality of nearby agricultural land.
