The project will deliver the first comprehensive, field-verified barrier inventory and prioritisation for the Erzen River basin, identifying at least two viable dam removal candidates to advance Albania\u2019s WFD-mandated hydromorphological restoration.<\/p>\n<p>The Erzen River flows 109 km from the Mali me Gropa mountains (1,200 m a.s.l.) through the Tirana-Durr\u00ebs corridor to the Adriatic Sea at Lal\u00ebzi Bay, draining a 760 km\u00b2 catchment across six municipalities (Tirana, Vor\u00eb, Shijak, Durr\u00ebs, Kavaj\u00eb, Rrogozhin\u00eb) home to roughly 289,000 people. It is the only remaining active sediment supplier to the Gulf of Lal\u00ebzi. Upper reaches host endemic freshwater species, including the Albanian trout (<em>Salmo farioides<\/em>) and Albanian barbel (<em>Barbus albanicus<\/em>), and are classified Class II (Good) ecological status, while lower reaches have degraded to Class III (Moderate) due to hydromorphological alteration.<\/p>\n<p>Decades of intensive gravel mining (1990-2015) and dam-related modifications have caused channel incision of up to 3 metres, disrupting sediment continuity and river connectivity across the basin. Albania\u2019s Erzen River Basin Management Plan (PMBU Erzen, VKM No. 623, date 8.11.2023), the country\u2019s first legally binding WFD-aligned basin plan, explicitly identifies hydropower structures and channel modifications as key drivers of ecological failure and mandates hydromorphological restoration in its Programme of Measures. Yet no mechanism currently exists to identify which of the basin\u2019s artificial barriers are viable removal candidates.<\/p>\n<p>Albania\u2019s 2022 opening of EU Chapter 27 accession negotiations adds urgency, as barrier removal that improves ecological status directly supports WFD implementation obligations. With limited precedent barrier-removal identification in Albania, the Erzen offers a rare opportunity to extend Europe\u2019s dam removal effort into a Mediterranean-regime, urban-pressured river system, while building a replicable civil-society model for barrier identification across Albania\u2019s remaining basins and the wider Western Balkans.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21802 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/albanianwaterpartnership.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Barrier-in-Erzen-Albania-August.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/albanianwaterpartnership.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Barrier-in-Erzen-Albania-August.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/albanianwaterpartnership.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Barrier-in-Erzen-Albania-August-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/albanianwaterpartnership.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Barrier-in-Erzen-Albania-August-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/albanianwaterpartnership.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Barrier-in-Erzen-Albania-August-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Project aim and deliverables:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This project will deliver the first comprehensive, field-verified barrier inventory and prioritisation for the Erzen basin and its tributaries, combining desk-based mapping, systematic field surveys, geomorphic assessment of gravel-mining legacy impacts, ecological baseline surveys, stakeholder consultation on ownership and removal willingness, and multi-criteria feasibility scoring.<\/p>\n<p>The expected outcome is a bilingual (Albanian\/English) technical report, submitted to Albania\u2019s Agency for Water Resources Management (AMBU) for integration into the Erzen RBMP monitoring framework, identifying at least two potential prioritised barriers for removal in a second stage.<\/p>\n<p>Strategic removal of two to three barriers is estimated to reconnect 30-60 km of river, restoring passage for endemic fish such as\u00a0<em>Salmo farioides<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Barbus albanicus<\/em>\u00a0and re-mobilising sediment that supports coastal replenishment at Lal\u00ebzi Bay, contributing directly to Albania\u2019s WFD obligations and the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2030 target of restoring 25,000 km of free-flowing rivers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/albanianwaterpartnership.org\/en\/mapping-barriers-to-freedom-identifying-viable-dam-removals-in-the-erzen-river-basin-albania\/flete_informuese_projekti_erzen_eng_page-0001\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-21814 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/albanianwaterpartnership.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Flete_Informuese_Projekti_Erzen_ENG_page-0001.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1241\" height=\"1755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/albanianwaterpartnership.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Flete_Informuese_Projekti_Erzen_ENG_page-0001.jpg 1241w, https:\/\/albanianwaterpartnership.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Flete_Informuese_Projekti_Erzen_ENG_page-0001-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/albanianwaterpartnership.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Flete_Informuese_Projekti_Erzen_ENG_page-0001-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/albanianwaterpartnership.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Flete_Informuese_Projekti_Erzen_ENG_page-0001-768x1086.jpg 768w, https:\/\/albanianwaterpartnership.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Flete_Informuese_Projekti_Erzen_ENG_page-0001-1086x1536.jpg 1086w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1241px) 100vw, 1241px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/albanianwaterpartnership.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Flete_Informuese_Projekti_Erzen_ENG.pdf\">Flete_Informuese_Projekti_Erzen_ENG<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Albanian Water Partnership and LUMI\u00a0 have launched the new project \u201cMapping barriers to freedom: Identifying viable dam removals in the Erzen River Basin, Albania\u201d.
