  • Exceptional Floods in the Prut Basin, Romania, in the Context of Heavy
    1 Exceptional floods in the Prut basin, Romania, in the context of 2 heavy rains in the summer of 2010 3 4 Gheorghe Romanescu1, Cristian Constantin Stoleriu 5 Alexandru Ioan Cuza, University of Iasi, Faculty of Geography and Geology, Department of 6 Geography, Bd. Carol I, 20 A, 700505 Iasi, Romania 7 8 Abstract. The year 2010 was characterized by devastating flooding in Central and Eastern 9 Europe, including Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina. This 10 study focuses on floods that occurred during the summer of 2010 in the Prut River basin, 11 which has a high percentage of hydrotechnical infrastructure. Strong floods occurred in 12 eastern Romania on the Prut River, which borders the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine, and 13 the Siret River. Atmospheric instability from 21 June-1 July 2010 caused remarkable amounts 14 of rain, with rates of 51.2 mm/50 min and 42.0 mm/30 min. In the middle Prut basin, there are 15 numerous ponds that help mitigate floods as well as provide water for animals, irrigation, and 16 so forth. The peak discharge of the Prut River during the summer of 2010 was 2,310 m3/s at 17 the Radauti Prut gauging station. High discharges were also recorded on downstream 18 tributaries, including the Baseu, Jijia, and Miletin. High discharges downstream occurred 19 because of water from the middle basin and the backwater from the Danube (a historic 20 discharge of 16,300 m3/s). The floods that occurred in the Prut basin in the summer of 2010 21 could not be controlled completely because the discharges far exceeded foreseen values.

  • The Economy of a Regional Metropolis. Case-Study: Iaşi, Romania*1
    THE ECONOMY OF A REGIONAL METROPOLIS. CASE-STUDY: IAŞI, ROMANIA*1 Claudia POPESCU Claudia POPESCU Professor, Faculty of International Economics and Business, Academy of Economic Studies, Bucharest, Romania Tel.: 0040-213-319.1900/378 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The city of Iaşi with a population of over 300,000 people is the biggest European Union city at the border with the former-Soviet space. The article, part of an extended study on territorial development of Iaşi and its peri-urban area, focuses on the role of the city to trigger regional growth and to enhance cross border cooperation. Recent processes at work generating economic cohesion and integration are explored drawing on the catalytic factors of development and the specialization of local economies. The paper discusses also the externalities of urban growth such as the urban sprawl that causes land use conflicts at the rural-urban fringe. It argues that human capital and higher birth rates than the national average are the strengths, and low connectivity and accessibility are the weaknesses for regional growth. The regional polarization of the city is based on the supply of high level services over the entire North-East Region and opportunities to cross border cooperation through the expansion of an agro-alimentary supply-chain are highlighted. Building on the main capabilities and assets of the * The paper is part of the research conducted between 2009 agglomeration economies of Iaşi, the paper finally and 2010 in the view of drafting the Master Plan of the Iaşi identifies some of the mechanisms and structures Municipality, Romania.

  • Impact of the Abundant Precipitations of 22-27 July 2008 in the North and North-East Moldova
    PRESENT ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, NR. 3, 2009 IMPACT OF THE ABUNDANT PRECIPITATIONS OF 22-27 JULY 2008 IN THE NORTH AND NORTH-EAST MOLDOVA Liviu Apostol1, Ovidiu Machidon2 Key words: abundant precipitations, floods, damages Abstract: In the last decade of the month of July 2008, the appearance and the persistence of a retrograde cyclone for a few days in the northern and northeastern area of Moldova determined the production of precipitations that had especially high intensity and that were taken over by the Prut and Siret Rivers and their tributaries. The high flow of the Siret River’s tributaries was mainly caused by the large quantities of precipitations fallen in the area in contact with the higher flanks of the Carpathians. The flash flood flow registered a few days later by the Prut River at the entrance to Romania was mainly caused by the rains fallen in the southwestern area of Ukraine. This paper presents the evolution of the process, quantities registered by the meteorological stations and the rain-gauge stations, the hydrological consequences and the impact of these pluviometric events on the environment of the northern and northeastern Moldova. Floods of the end of July and beginning of August 2009, in the northeastern part of Romania follow closely those of the end of 2005. The last decade witnessed in this area a succession without precedent of very hot and dry periods and rainy periods, some of them constituting records of the entire observation period. The cause was, as for the majority of Moldova catastrophic floods, a retrograde cyclone.

  • The Assessment of the Cultural Heritage's
    European Journal of Science and Theology, April 2013, Vol.9, No.2, 233-242 _______________________________________________________________________ THE ASSESSMENT OF THE CULTURAL HERITAGE’S VULNERABILITY TO FLASH FLOODS IN BAHLUI RIVER BASIN, IASI COUNTY Irina Dana Tutunaru*, Tudor Viorel Blidaru and Ionuţ Claudiu Pricop Prut Bârlad Water Basin Administration, 10 Th. Văscăuţeanu Str., 700462, Iasi, Romania (Received 25 June 2012, revised 10 February 2013) Abstract Floods are natural phenomena with significant impact on population, material goods and landscape. Flash floods are characterized by a high degree of risk, primarily due to reduced possibilities to make effective forecasts, but also because of weather and climatic characteristics that changed in the last decades, thus limiting the possibilities of application of appropriate defense and adaptation measures. In this context, the paper aims to make a preliminary assessment of vulnerability to flash floods, using hydrological simulation models based on GIS techniques applied in sub- basins, allowing a ranking of risks within relevant locations, especially concerning the cultural heritage in the county of Iasi. The development of methods for addressing such conditions creates the scientific basis for planning the required resource allocation for the protection of the cultural heritage hence for the implementation of water resources management plans and territorial development plans. Keywords: flash floods, cultural heritage, GIS, hydrological simulation 1. Introduction It is a well-known fact that each nation is defined, amongst other, by its history, its religious beliefs and its culture. Iasi city and Iasi County contain a large number of monuments and historical sites classified as cultural heritage, which cover a long historical period, from the famous Cucuteni culture to the medieval churches, from the Iron Age until the 20th century.

    Lakes, reservoirs and ponds, vol. 4(2): 131-144, 2010 ©Romanian Limnogeographical Association THE EVALUATION OF THE WATER CHEMISTRY AND QUALITY FOR THE LAKES FROM THE SOUTH OF THE HILLY PLAIN OF JIJIA (BAHLUI DRAINAGE BASIN) Ionuţ MINEA „Al.I.Cuza”University, Faculty of Geography and Geology, Iaşi, Romania, [email protected] Abstract In order to highlight the quality of the lake waters from the Bahlui drainage basin, we chose to analyse four principal lakes (Pârcovaci, Tansa, Chiriţa, Podu Iloaiei) and six secundary lakes (Aroneanu I and II, Ciric I, II and III and Cucuteni). The global presentation of the lakes’ water chemistry and quality is a sum of two different ways of analysis: the first based on standards (promulgated in 2006), according to which the lakes are analyzed as static ecosystem (the quality of the water corresponds to five different categories) and the second considering the lakes a dynamic ecosystem and working with the average of different quality parameters, from different periods. After we made the analysis, we showed that from the four first-order lakes, two (Chiriţa and Pârcovaci) can be included in the first quality category, and all the second-order lakes can be included in the third and fourth quality categories. This can be explained trough the clogging of the reservoirs or through the pollution caused by human activities in the hydrographic basin. Keywords: lakes, hydrochemistry, evaluation, Bahlui drainage basin 1. Introduction Bahlui drainage basin is located in the north-east of Romania, overlapping an area with a central position in the central part of the Moldavian Plateau, in direct hydrological relation with the hydrographic network of Prut River (fig.1).

In this framework, the 1D/2D hydraulic models, which were generated based on a Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) derivate Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and processed within Geographical Information Systems (GIS), can improve large-scale flood hazard maps accuracy. In this study, we developed the first flood vulnerability assessment for 1% (100-year) and 0.1% (1000-year) recurrence intervals within the Jijia floodplain (north-eastern Romania), based on 1D HEC-RAS hydraulic modeling and LiDAR derivate DEM with 0.5 m spatial resolution.

  • The Distribution of Wader Birds in Eastern Romania
    Analele Științifice ale Universității „Al. I. Cuza” Iași, s. Biologie animală, Tom LVII, 2011 THE DISTRIBUTION OF WADER BIRDS IN EASTERN ROMANIA Laurențiu PETRENCU1, Constantin ION1 and Emanuel BALTAG1 “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University, Faculty of Biology, Bd. Carol I, no. 11, Iasi, 700506, Romania, [email protected] 1 These authors equally contributed to present work Abstract. In the period 2008-2011, we had numerous bird counting actions in wetlands from Eastern Romania (the region of Moldavia - Romania, except Vrancea County, Danube Delta and Razelm-Sinoe lagoon complex). During these counting actions we identified 28 species of wader birds in the area of Moldavia and 37 species in Dobrogea. We find new data on breeding distribution of Avocet, Black-Winged Stilt, Stone Curlew, Little Ringed Plover, Kentish Plover, Lapwing, White-tailed Lapwing, Common Sandpiper, Redshank and Curlew. On migration of wader birds we find new important sites, especially in Moldavian Region. Thus, the region of Moldavia and Dobrogea, thanks to the appropriate habitats and the trophic resources, represent an important breeding, feeding and resting area for the wader bird species from Europe. Keywords: wader birds, ecology, distribution, Eastern Romania Rezumat. Distribuția păsărilor limicole din estul României.

According to the Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC and Groundwater Directive 2000/118/EC, as part of their effort to achieve the good chemical and quantitative status for groundwater, EU member states must assess the latter using threshold values as quality standards for pollutants in groundwater. The present paper presents a case study based on the methodology for the derivation of natural background levels and groundwater threshold values suggested through the EU research project BRIDGE. Given that the groundwater bodies from the study area are exposed to anthropic stress, the 90th percentile is used as natural background level for the phreatic waters from the Quaternary deposits of the Bahlui River. The threshold values were established using drinking water standards as reference It was, thus, discovered, that, when the 90th percentile is used as natural background level, the threshold values obtained + + 2+ 2- in the present study for the parameters NH4 , Na , Mg , Fe and SO4 are higher than the reference values.
