Contributions to the determination of flooding levels using HEC-RAS program for the Mures River in Arad [articol]

Abstract

The study area falls within the Tisa Plain, which the Mures River crosses in its eastern sector, forming a corridor of 140 km. This sector is composed of loamy silt and loess deposits that create rain water stagnation. Morphologically, the sector consists of the heights that get lower from 150 m in the east to less than 100 m in the west, given these data; the slope of the basin area has very low values. In lowland areas, groundwater is formed at great depths and it slightly fills the river. The length of the Mures River in the studied sector is 53.4 km. The Mures Floodplain National Park is located here and includes the embankment part of the Mures River. This is the area located on both sides of the river, between high terraces, with great tourist attractions: the specific landscape of meadow, the 200 species existing bird, remarkable biodiversity, water lily pond from the Prundul Mare reservation.
