HAIL SUPPRESSION SYSTEM IN ROMANIA AND ITS RELATION WITH LAND COVER
Abstract
Starting with 2008, Romania decided to reduce the hail damage over the agriculture crops in an active way, adopting legislation that allows the use of special rockets to fight hail. The system has now, five units of hail suppression and the increase of precipitation with 68 launching points, distributed around the country and the main aim is to protect valuable crops. The present paper is trying to emphasize which are the land cover categories that benefit from this system if the initial purpose is reflected. We have combined the land cover information from Corine programme, for 2018, with the present and future areas covered by the Hail suppression system. The targeted crops are vineyards and orchards and we checked the effectiveness of the system concerning. The protected area reached 13 000 km? at the beginning of the year 2019, and the main category is vineyard. In order to adapt to the climate changes and to the recent structural change in the agriculture sector in Romania, the hail suppression system will receive until 2020, 2 more units of hail suppression, doubling what we have today, in the attempt to reduce the negative effects of hail phenomena.
