As is the case of the Moldavian hilly area , due to its dryness, the inhabitants created an extensive network of reservoirs since the mediev al period , in the proximity of the settlement network. Over time , many dams were abandoned, while others have been re located with impressive dynamics at a historical scale. In this paper, by analyzing old maps, LiDAR high-res DEMs, ERT surveys , and se diments, we have reconstructed the reservoir network 's expansion in the last century at a regional scale and investigated the main geomorphologic characteristics of dams and associated landform s. In Jijia catchment (3 38 6 km 2) we found a total number of 13 51 dams , of which 832 abandoned. 495 re servoirs were recognized on different topo maps dating from the 20 th century , while 337 have been identified on DEMs. Two reservoirs were investigated in detail by fi...
