Exceptional floods on a developed river: case study for the Bistrita River from the Eastern Carpathians (Romania)

The geographical position of the Bistrita River favours a rich liquid run-off and great hydrotechnical potential. The Bistrita drainage basin is strongly developed from the hydrotechnical point of view. Within the drainage basin, numerous dams and storage reservoirs are installed with the purpose of producing electricity and reducing flood hazards. However, these structures could not stop floods at the drainage basin level. The most powerful floods from Bistrita River basin and the role in flood control of each of the storages are analysed in this paper. The hydrological data have been collected from the monitoring network, where the researchers elaborating this study are performing their daily activity. The most powerful floods in the last century took place in 1970, 1991, 2005 and 2010. An intensification of the floods can be noticed after the year 1990, a period which coincides with large-scale deforestation of the small drainage basins. Disastrous floods occurred as a consequence of summer heavy rains, with amounts of 100-200 mm within 24 h. The most powerful floods were recorded in 2005 and registered discharges up to 1,200 m 3 /s. Izvoru Muntelui reservoir, the biggest in the system, can take most of the waters in excess. The reservoirs located downstream are silting up, and the supplementary flows cannot be absorbed entirely by storage. The exact knowledge of flooding phenomena requires studies that can prevent and diminish the damages caused by extreme hydrological events.

“…A building block approach to generalised evolution driven by natural selection is yet to be presented, although Khatibi (2011) has outlined a rationale for it. Traditional understanding of natural selection for biological species is well developed, according to which the process takes place at the gene level of all individuals of all species carrying hereditary material for reproduction by inheriting from their parents and by passing on a range of their characteristics to their offspring.…”

Spatial and temporal changes in flood events in China are becoming increasingly important due to the rapid climate warming that is occurring. This study was conducted to consider changes in flood events and the factors affecting such changes. To accomplish this, China was divided into natural and social-economic flood regions: north China, northwest China, northeast China, southwest China, central China, east China, south China, and Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau. Spatial and temporal changes in flood patterns were rebuilt during 1980-2009, and Fast Fourier Transform Filtering was then employed to stimulate the changes in floods during this period. The factors affecting flooding were then analyzed quantitatively. The results showed that, based on the time series for China as a whole, flooding was more serious during 1990-1999 than 1980-1989 and 2000-2009. However, in different regions, the trends in flooding differed greatly. Based on spatial changes, the areas hardest hit by floods were northeast China in the 1980s, northeast China, central China and east China in the 1990s, and central China after 2000. In China, the main flood-affecting factors were meteorological, ecological, population, water conservation facilities, and policy factors. However, the main affecting factors differed by region. Overall, the complex spatial and temporal features of flood variations and various affecting factors demand proper national and regional governmental action in the face of the changing flood patterns in China. The results of the present study provide valuable information to flood policymakers and flood disaster researchers.
