The water system from arboretum is part of a complex project of landscaping (improvement) into the University of Agronomical Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest (UASVMB) campus area. The aim is to valorise the park by harmonizing the natural space with the anthropogenic one. The water system consists of two reservoirs at different levels. Those are connected by a channel with a trapezoidal section and a pipeline that transports the water from the downstream lake to the upstream lake using a pump for water recirculation. The lack of natural water sources and the local soil high permeability imposed a waterproofing solution in order to reduce water loss. The channel path intersects an alley used by pedestrians and having auto traffic. For overpass it, there was built a bridge of reinforced concrete. The project in its entirety improves the landscape and social life of both students and employees of UASVMB and also of the people who visit the park for recreation.
