Description
After a dyke burst last summer near the Romanian village of Mahmudia, swathes of the Danube Delta once drained for farmland were submerged again, creating the region's second-largest lake and a paradise for the region's battered biodiversity. But while many welcome the return of wetland wildlife to the delta, local authorities are bracing for a battle with farmers who want it drained again. "It was detrimental to the concessionaires, but we were happy," says Ion Serpescu, mayor of Mahmudia. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
