WATER MANAGEMENT TO REDUCE FLOODS IN THE HYDROGRAPHIC BASIN BEGA-TIMI?
Abstract
The climate change facing humanity requires two major and immediate solutions: the need to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions on the one hand, and on the other hand the need to adapt to the effects of climate change, given that these effects are already visible and unavoidable due to the inertia of the climate system. Romania is vulnerable to a number of natural climate and geological dangers: floods, droughts, extreme temperatures, the western part of the country registering over time some devastating floods, which caused numerous losses of life and economic losses, such as the flooding with a historical maximum in year 2005. Water being an important resource in people's lives, it is necessary for this resource to be properly managed, as poor water resource management can cause great damage. In the present paper is analyzed the Costei Hydrotechnical Node, which is distinguished by the efficiency of the management of the water flows from the Timis River as well as by the flow regulation on the Bega River. For the efficient management of water resources, water flows and levels were analyzed between 2017-2021, noting that in 2020 it was surplus, and in 2021, the lowest value for water levels and annual flow rates. This indicates a fluctuating nature of the water flow resulting from the global anthropogenic impact on the environment.
