The study is focused on the assessment of basic flood features using Cavis software for raw data, recorded for a period of 40 years, between 1979 and 2019, at Satu Mare hydrometric station on the Someș River. Using the long term recorded data for the two of the largest floods in each year, we have made a statistical analysis on certain features associated with temporal frequency (monthly and seasonal occurrence), total duration, multi-daily vulnerability, maximum discharge values (in respect with the defense levels at the hydrometric station) and the total volumes of water translated through the river bed during those major flooding events.
