During the excursion to the Black River Basin area on November 8th, 2018, the participants learned more about the human-castor-conflict. Implemented best management solutions were presented, showing a combination with maintenance works of the flood defense infrastructure. Afterwards, the administrator of a local company focusing on agricultural production informed about the main issues faced during daily activities (drought, heat excess, irrigation,...).

On day one of the training session, held in Covasna on November 7th, 2018, several presentations about land-use management in the perspective of water, flood and drought management - including the beaver situation - gave an overview of examples and practices applied by other countries. There were vivid discussions regarding their applicability in Romania, respectively the need for new legislative proposals in order to encourage an agriculture which is both effective and based on the protection of water resources.
