Star of works at the Târgu Cărbunești passage
If at the beginning of the year we announced the reception by APM Gorj of the technical design, on April 9, 2021 the works for the fish passage from Târgu Cărbunești started. The existing overflow threshold formed an artificial waterfall that the fish could not cross in their attempt to reach the upstream. In order to allow the passage of fish, it was decided to build a passage of the "ladder with vertical slots" type that includes 22 pools, properly sized for the migration of target species.

The ramp will have a length of 15 m and a maximum width of 5 m.
