Abstract:
The hydrographical basin of the Sebeș River is
situated in the west part of Romania, it has a small surface
(124 km2) and which is part of E.R.B. – European
Network of Experimental and Representative Basins.
The role of hydrographical experimental basins is to
understand and to know the process of runoff formation
into a small catchment (surface < 150 km2), especially that
in the context of climate change the small
hydrographical basins will be affected first. It is
important to understand which is the impact of the
climate change on runoff from a small basin because
even a small decrease of water discharge regime will
increase the risk of water level falling below ecologically
or economically required minimum flows or even of
rivers drying up. This study focused on assessment of
runoff from a long period of time (1964-2013) in a small
hydrographical basin, an important step in the impact
evaluation process of the different types of runoff
(mean, maximum and minimum) on the surface of the
small hydrographical basins within Banat
hydrographical space.
