“…The main result of the authors was that in the summer months there are decreasing trends and on the winter months the streamflow rate values have a positive trend. Therefore, the same results were also obtained in [13] for the period 1961-2009, where was made an analysis regarding hydroclimatic dynamics for Romanian drylands and aimed the tendency of the streamflow that is directly influenced by climate change. The climatic water deficit involves a streamflow reduction.…”

Among the multiple water uses, electricity generation is a factor strongly affected by alterations in the water cycle due to climate change. Long periods of drought followed by rainy periods lead to significant changes in the natural regimes of water flow in rivers. This paper aims to determine the long-term trends of seasonal inflows (spring, summer, autumn, winter) in Goleşti reservoir using daily data recorded over an 11-years period with the non-parametric Mann-Kendall test. The influence of tendency of increasing or decreasing was analyzed for the inflows in the Goleşti reservoir on the energy produced in associated hydropower plant.

“…Changes in climate parameters represent one of the most important global issues, with multiple and various impacts on all environmental components. As the climatic and hydrological systems are closely related, any change of climatic parameters have direct or indirect hydrological effects (Prăvălie et. Al., 2016).…”

Effects of climate change on river flow in the Romanian Carpathians. The paper highlights some relevant changes detected in Romania, namely in the Carpathian area, and related impacts on streamflow. It focuses on Valea Cerbului River catchment, a small mountainous watershed (extended over 26 km 2 , in the eastern extremity of the Southern Carpathians), where observed and projected changes of the river flow were presented based on frequency and trend analysis of recorded discharges and on hydrological modeling. As observed changes (between 1950-2010), general upward significant trends in the variability of the average discharge were detected, for both annual and monthly discharges (mostly in October, January and July). The projected changes were estimated by the WaSiM-Eth hydrological model for 2035-2065 period, compared to the reference period 1961-1991 (using climatic data on the A1B scenario obtained within the project ENSEMBLE). The results showed the increase of high flows in the cold season (December − April) and a significant decrease in discharges during the warm season (June − November, mainly in August − September).
