Abstract

In the upper basin of the Sebeş Valley, the oldest storage lakes have been temporary artificial lakes, called “haituri” in Romanian. They were created within the forest exploitation areas. Inside the dams of those retention lakes, which dams are made of a wooden skeleton, filled with soil and stones, there have been weirs for the quick discharge of the water, having the purpose of creating some flood trends, capable of carrying over the logs, downstream the lake. At present, some of those temporary artificial lakes are used as trout farms, while others are damaged, or operate as basins for the sedimentation of the alluvial deposits. The difference of level between the springs of the Sebeş and the Mureş Rivers generates a convertible hydroelectric potential, having an average power exceeding  60,000 kW.
