The flood regime in the Prut ? B?rlad catchments is characterised by short, high intensity floods in the majority of upland rivers. These upland rivers are often ephemeral ? dry during the hot, summer months and wet during the winter months. In lowland rivers, flooding is more prolonged, especially near confluences.
Short, high intensity rainfall coupled with low infiltration on catchments lead to flash flooding in upland areas. Changing land use patterns during the last 15 ? 20 years are increasing the frequency and criticality of flooding throughout the catchments. The floods of 2008 were particularly extreme. River warning levels were exceeded during most of the year over many parts of the Prut-B?rlad catchments. The worst floods of 2008 took place in the period from March ? April of 2008 and July ? December 2008, when the high floods on most of the rivers reached historical limits. Large areas were inundated leading to death and severe infrastructure damage. |
