At present we know that the sediments in Iron Gate I are mainly constituted of these finer materials.5 In essence, the problem is that these materials vary and that they have different harmful and dangerous substances concentrated along the fine dust particles, and also in the plankton material deposited at this place.
Only at the level of the Iron Gate I water reservoir could the results of the activity of the drainage basin be recognised, and the future of the system is not yet known.
In this task, the Iron Gate I reservoir presents a true responsibility on the part of the entire river basin population, and everyone's participation is expected.

The Danube River has been turned into a series of lakes with the "Iron Gate" hydroelectric plant (Romania) being the largest impoundment on the river (Petrovic, 1996).
At the same time, the Danube watershed is highly populated and industrialized and therefore the river receives considerable loads of nutrients with agriculture as the main source.
While the Iron Gate reservoir seems to be an important sink for dissolved silicate, there are no data available on P or N retention within the impoundment.

The sediment load carried further down by Danube decreased after 1970 after the started operation of the hydraulic structures and hydropower plants: the reservoirs have a volume of 3.2 billion m³ where some 20 million t per year of sediments (inert particles with absorbed organic matters) are trapped.
Thus, especially the upper reservoir (Iron Gate I) serves both as an important nutrient sink and as a deposit of hazardous and toxic matter for many pollution sources from the upstream Danube catchment area.
For the disputed Danube section in Bavaria (Straubing-Vilshofen), the opposition was successful in pressing for a moratorium until the year 2000 and a testing of alternative engineering measures which would allow improved navigation without damming the river.

 WWF - WWF Initiates Danube River Monitoring Programme Downstream of War Zone
Danube Carpathian Programme Vienna - The WWF Danube Carpathian Programme, in cooperation with a government laboratory in Romania, has begun monitoring for toxic pollutants in the River Danube because of uncertain downstream environmental risks from the war in Yugoslavia.
The sampling is being undertaken in a 120 km long reservoir behind the two Iron Gate dams, near the Yugoslav-Romanian border, where the Danube breaks through the Carpathian mountains, and an 80km stretch of river below the dams.
The Iron Gate reservoir was selected as a monitoring site because extensive knowledge about toxics in the sediment behind the dams allows an accurate assessment of changes since the war, said Weller.
