The lake is a reservoir, made in 1986 mainly to protect the city against floods.[3] It is also a recreation area.[1] Lacul Morii provides a constant flow to the Dâmboviţa river in the city. The lake was built by a dam 15 m (49 ft) high, with a central body of concrete, and earth dams extended lengthwise with a total length of 7 km (4.3 mi). The lake's volume is 14.7×106 m3 (1.92×107 cu yd), with a flood mitigation portion of 1.6×106 m3 (2.1×106 cu yd) beyond the normal retention. Effectively, to mitigate flooding, the lake's volume can be increased when floods are predicted. Making a lake near an urban area required decommissioning of existing uses, including demolition and decommissioning of a church.[4]
On the south of Lacul Morii there is a peninsula.
Angels' Island
On the north part of the lake is situated Angels' Island (Insula Îngerilor).[5] On the island volunteers planted 475 trees in 2011.[6][7] Several big music concerts have been hosted on the island.[8][9]
Sports and events on Lacul Morii
The lake is used as a recreation area and there are boat and water-sport contests and shows including air shows.[10] The Coke Live Music Festival and other concerts were organized in the Lacul Morii area.[8][9] Windsurfing is very popular on Lacul Morii; there are windsurf courses on the lake,[11] though water-ski, skijet, and other water sports are also popular.
The lake is mentioned in the poem "Pe Lacul Morii" by Ana Blandiana.[12]
Projects for Lacul Morii
There are projects to make Lacul Morii a travel destination.[13]
There are also projects to make the Lacul Morii area a modern residential, commercial and business area.[14] Another project is a highway tunnel which will link Lacul Morii and the nearby Lake Dâmbovița to Centrul Civic, Unirii Square, and the A1 motorway.[15]

Le Lac Morii ("Lacul Morii") est le plus grand lac de Bucarest[1], avec une superficie de 246 ha[2]. Le lac se trouve à environ 6 km du centre de Bucarest (Piața Unirii) et se situe entre : le quartier de l'Université Politehnica de Bucarest à l'est, celui de Militari au sud, et les quartiers de Crângași (en) et Giuleşti au Nord. Le type de celui-ci est un lac de retenue dit d'accumulation, réalisé en 1986, essentiellement afin de protéger la ville contre les inondations[3].
C'est également une zone de loisirs[1].
Il fournit un débit constant à la rivière Dâmboviţa dans la capitale. Un barrage de 15 m de haut, avec un corps central en béton, des barrages en terre s'étendant sur une longueur totale de 7 km ont permis la création de ce lac. Le volume du lac est de 14 700 000 m3, avec un volume de 1 600 000 m3, au-delà d'une rétention normale, réservés à la lutte contre les inondations. En effet, afin d'atténuer les inondations, le volume du lac peut être augmenté lorsque les inondations sont prévues.
Créer un lac à proximité d'une zone urbaine nécessita le démantèlement des utilisations existantes, y compris la démolition et le démantèlement d'une église[4].
