  • صحراء أولتينيا (بالإنجليزية:Oltenia sahra) تعتبر صحراء أولتينيا جزء من سهل والشيان في رومانيا، في المقاطعة الرومانية التاريخية أولتينيا، ويمتد من مدينة كالافات إلى بلدة دابولني الرومانيتين، تغطي مساحة تمتد لحوالي 80000 هكتار (800 كيلومتر مربع) أو 6 ٪ من مقاطعة دولج. وصفت صحراء أولتينيا من قبل الصحافة على أنها مناطق رملية متمددة تشكلت بسبب إزالة الأشجار التي وقعت في عام 1960، ويرجع نشؤها أيضا إلى التصحر المفاجئ الذي وقع في المنطقة، وتعتبر بلدة دابلوني (بالرومانية: Dăbuleni) عاصمة صحراء أولتينيا.

  • Le Sahara d'Olténie est un désert situé dans le sud de la Roumanie, entre Calafat et Dăbuleni. Le désert couvre environ 800 km², soit 6 % de la surface du district du județ de Dolj. En raison de la déforestation mise en place depuis les années 1960, la région a subi un processus rapide de désertification. Dans les années 1970, la forêt couvrait encore 12 % de la surface du district, alors que maintenant plus que 7 %. La ville de Dăbuleni a reçu le surnom de "capitale" du Sahara Olteniei et est la seule ville européenne où se trouve un musée du sable. (fr)

  • The Oltenian Sahara (Romanian: Sahara Olteniei) is a name given to an area in the Romanian region of Oltenia covering the territory between the city of Calafat and the town of Dăbuleni, spanning an area of about 80,000 hectares (200,000 acres), or 6% of Dolj County. The sandy areas in the region have extended because of deforestation events that occurred in the 1960s, during the Communist period. Under the leadership of Nicolae Ceaușescu, 26% of Romania's water was drained for farmland, including all five of Oltenia's natural water bodies. One such body of water was the 47 km (29 mi)-long Potelu Lake (near Potelu village), now completely dry. Another village on the lake's shore was Grojdibodu; locals recall how people survived by fishing, and the air was humid and clean, before the communist authorities built dams and a pumping station to dry out the lake. According to Dan Popescu, the head of the local "Rebirth of the Forest" association, 13,000 hectares (32,000 acres) of forest were cut down and replaced with acacia trees to stop the wind and the sand. The "Băltărețu" wind (which was warm and humid and brought rain) disappeared; in summer, air temperatures would rise over 30 °C (86 °F) and sand temperatures to over 70 °C (158 °F). After the Romanian Revolution of 1989 things deteriorated further. The land was returned to private hands, but the landowners cleared out 30,000 hectares (74,000 acres) of forest, including the acacia canopies, and grew whatever they wanted, overwhelming the irrigation system. In the early 2000s, some farmers sought to irrigate the fields by themselves, but, without state support, those attempts failed, and the system was eventually torn down by scrap iron thieves. Due to the sudden desertification in the area, the name "Oltenian Sahara" quickly caught on among the locals. Dăbuleni has likewise gained the nickname the "capital" of the Oltenian Sahara and it is the only place in Europe where a sand museum exists. Despite some modest attempts to prevent further desertification in the area, the process is still ongoing at a rate of 1,000 hectares (2,500 acres) per year and is unlikely to stop unless more drastic measures are taken.
