What is it about?
The dam of the non-permanent reservoir Ezer, located on Jijia river is an earth dam with a maximum height of 6.18 m, which provides a global retention to the canopy of 10.330 million cubic meters. The dam founded on weak, muddy soils suffered in the years 1989 and 1992 downstream slope failures of the fillings. It was found that hydrostatic levels were high in the piezometric wells and that consolidation of the foundation soil was reduced. This paper presents a brief history of the dam and aspects regarding the behaviour monitoring of Ezer non-permanent reservoir during the years 2000-2012.

Why is it important?
The behaviour monitoring performed by interpreting the visual observations and the measurement data from gauges, in relation to external stresses on the dam, allowed rapid reporting of exceedances of critical thresholds at monitored elements and of a typical behaviours of the dam.
Perspectives
The behaviour monitoring of Ezer reservoir from Romania is recommended to continue accordingly to the "Project of special monitoring", with the same meticulosity as before.
