Timis and Bega rivers provided of how the DSS interprets the basic hydraulic were considered jointly, since their hydrodynamic and hydrologic inputs and GIS data to provide flood responses are conditioned by operation of existing intelligence such as: Flood Affected Properties – overfloor flooding associated with a predicted flood hydraulic structures used for water transfer between level; Evacuation and Exit Routes – the predicted depth them.

  • Raportul Primarului Privind Starea Economică, Socială Şi De Mediu a Comunei Giroc Pe Anul 2011
    RAPORTUL PRIMARULUI PRIVIND STAREA ECONOMICĂ, SOCIALĂ ŞI DE MEDIU A COMUNEI GIROC PE ANUL 2011 „Munca stăruitoare biruie toate.” - Vergiliu Poate mai mult ca niciodată, acest raport are o anumită conotaţie administrativă, fiind menit să ofere cetăţenilor informaţii despre activitatea desfăşurată pe parcursul unu an de zile. Sunt convins că ne dorim cu toţii ca administraţia publică locală, în contextul ei, să fie cât mai autonomă decizional, dar şi financiar, astfel încât activitatea acesteia să răspundă tuturor nevoilor specifice comunităţii. Deşi au fost implementare, ani de zile, măsuri importante de descentralizare a serviciilor, este necesară, în continuare, o reformă a finanţelor publice. Aici, la această reformă, s-au blocat multe şi importante măsuri care trebuiau făcute, favorizând dezvoltarea locală fără o planificare durabilă şi fără orizont. Astăzi, noi putem vorbi despre o reuşită în acest sens, pentru că măsurile luate de către administraţia publică locală au ales din multitudinea de surse de finanţare cele mai propice care au fost în mare măsură dirijate înspre infrastructură şi servicii, abordându-se într-un mod curajos, dar nu complet realizat fondurile europene prin programele de dezvoltare. Consiliul local şi aparatul de specialitate al primarului au dat dovadă de maturitate în alegerea soluţiilor pentru a răspunde repede şi sustenabil nevoilor sesizate, făcând posibilă transpunerea în viaţă a mai multor proiecte de mare anvergură. Sustenabilitatea acestor măsuri a fost dovedită prin acceptarea consensuală a deciziilor, ceea ce denotă că autorităţile administraţiei publice locale au dovedit o capacitate în planificarea strategică de care aminteam. Desigur, există foarte multe idei şi foarte multe propuneri, dar şi nevoi pe care comunitatea doreşte să le depăşească.

  • Hydromemeteorological Characterisation of the Flood from the Period 14-30 April 2005 in the Timis-Bega River Basin
    Hydromemeteorological characterisation of the flood from the period 14-30 april 2005 in the Timis-Bega River Basin Viorel Alexandru Stănescu, Radu Drobot University of Civil Engineering , Bucharest, Romania 1. Abstract The precipitations which generates the 2005 flood in Timis-Bega River Basin have been analyzed both as spatial distribution (total isohyets map) and as temporal one (time distribution at the meteorological stations). Further on, an analysis of the balance of the flood hydrographs volumes is made. Unusual values of the runoff coefficients have been resulted, as the duration and the quantity of the rainfalls were very high (over 200mm). A mathematical model has been applied aiming to the reconstitution of the flood hydrograph of Timis River at the border of Romania with Serbia- Montenegro. Then the volumes of water penetrating the ruptures in the dikes downstream Sag station have been determined. Thus the very large area that has been flooded has been explained by the huge volume of the flood downstream Sag station (720.106 m3). An analysis of the effects of the storages (permanent and non-permanent ones) led to the conclusion that they were less effective in mitigating the flood crest in the Timis-Bega River Basin. In continuation, an analysis of the hydrological and technical issues of the present embankments in Timis-Bega River Basin is made. Proposals for improving the defence system by gradually implementation of new structural measures deeming and keeping the principle “more space for rivers” as well as the improvement and diversifying the non- structural measures are presented in detail. Key words: Precipitation, maximum discharges, flood volume balance, flood hydrographs, mathematical model, structural measures, ring-shaped embankments, fusible dikes, non-structural measures, informational system, education of population.

NECULAE West University of Timisoara, Romania, [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT The present work is a brief inventory of the water resources and water consumption in Romania and an evaluation of the water quality in Timis county (neighbour of Serbia). This evaluation concerns rivers, groundwater, fountains and drinking water in Timisoara. The main causes of pollution and the critical zones are identified. Finally, a set of measures in order to improve the present situation are presented. Keywords: water resources; water sampling; water quality; pollutants; Timisoara.

  • Current Problems and Solutions to Revitalize the Bega Channel
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Directory of Open Access Journals CURRENT PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS TO REVITALIZE THE BEGA CHANNEL E. BEILICCI11, R. BEILICCI1 ABSTRACT. - Current problems and solutions to revitalize the Bega Channel. The objective of this paper is to highlight the need for sustainable development of the Bega Channel and adjacent land and to try to establish engineering, institutional, management and legislation measures, which are necessary to achieve revitalization of Bega Channel. The ultimate objective is the development and sustainable use of Bega Channel. Work on Bega Channel began in 1728 with the primary goal of the Banat Plain draining marshes and then to create a way for wood rafting between Făget and Timişoara. Bega Channel also is part of the hydrotechnical system Coştei - Topolovăţ, the role of defending the city of Timişoara against floods, but also to provide a water flow channel for periods of drought, for water supply of the city. Currently, Bega Channel faces a number of problems: high enough degree of water pollution, clogging of the bottom bed (which leads to the impossibility of re-shipping), and destruction of aquatic ecosystems. The main beneficiaries of the Bega Channel revitalization are the residents of Timişoara city, with more opportunities for recreation on the banks of the channel in Timişoara (boating, fishing etc.) and a better environment along the channel; greater protection against floods; improvement of employment as a result of an increase of tourist facilities, the opening of the waterway to the west for the luxury yachts and ships up to 1000 tons, which can to navigate the Danube in Timişoara and the establishment of a port.
