ABSTRACT. – The evaluation of the hydrological risks associated with the maximum discharge in the upper water catchment of the river Bârlad was realized based on the data respecting the maximum flows realized at two hydrometric stations Baceşti si Negreşti, between 1954-2006. The analysis had in mind both the evaluation of the maximum flows and the associated parameters and the implications of some extreme hydrological events as floods. An important component consists in the appreciation of the river safety levels based on the maximum debit obtained with different calcul formulas (rational or reductional) for the anticipation of the future hydrological events.

Keywords: hydrological riscks, maximum discharge, floods, river safety levels.
