Journal Title: Present Environment and Sustainable Development - Year 2009, Vol 3, Issue 3

Abstract

In the interval 22-27.VII.2008, in the North-East of Romania and the South-West of Ukraine fell considerable quantities of precipitations after the passage in these areas of a cyclonic formation, well outlined, with a retrograde character and which, at the contact with the highest slopes of the Wooded Carpathians, allowed the precipitation of large amounts of water, which were took over by the Prut and his affluents or other hydrographical arteries. At the entrance in Romania, at Oroftiana, a few days later, the Prut had an impressive flow of flash flood (over 4000m3) mainly produced by the precipitations that fell on the Ukrainian territory. The precipitations fallen in the Romanian part of the basin (County of Botosani) or in the Moldavian part (district of Edinet) brought only an insignificant contribution to this flow.
