FLOOD WAVES PARAMETERS – A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS BETWEEN GALBENU AND TELEORMAN RIVERS

Abstract

Flood waves parameters – a comparative analysis between Galbenu and Teleorman Rivers. The present study aims to be a comparative analysis of the main characteristics of flood waves from Galbenu River (located in the Gilort hydrographic basin) and Teleorman River (from Vedea hydrographic basin). Starting from the approximately the same multi-annual medium discharge (computed for the interval 1998-2007), the analysis is focused on the accentuation and explanation of the differences, dictated by the geographical position, relief characteristics (specially the slope), climate, size of the basin, length of the watercourse etc.
