The image shows the northern part of Vidraru Reservoir on Arges River in Romania, Fagaras Mountains, during its controlled drawdown in november 2025. The water level is extremely low, revealing the exposed lakebed with layered sediment formations and deep erosion lines (abrasion terraces) carved by the variations of water levels in time. The central area is located at the confluence of Capra and Buda rivers, the two sources of Arges. In the left it can be seen Cumpana Chalet, higher than the area where the former small settlement Cumpana was located before the dam was built and the reservoir was formed in 1966.
