The Sălăţig permanent fish pond and flood control reservoir was built between 1982 and 1984 on the Mineu Creek (a tributary of the Sălaj Creek, which, in turn, is a left hand tributary of the middle reach of the River Someş). The 265 m long earth dam rises to a greatest height of 11.1 m and the upper face is lined with concrete slabs. The reservoir created is 2 km long, 0.1 km wide and 23 ha large at normal retention level, and is capable of holding up to 3.4 million m3. The highest discharge which can be released simultaneously is 114 m3/s.
