QUANTITATIVE ASSESSMENT
OF ANNUAL MAXIMUM FLOWS
RECORDED IN THE HYDROGRAPHICAL BASIN OF TIMIŞ RIVER
ANDREEA MIHAELA DOMĂŞNEANU
ABSTRACT. – The statistical analysis and the quantitative
assessment of annual maximum flows recorded in the hydrographical basin of Timiş
river. We should calculate the frequency of flooding in this part of the country
and determine the flow values or maximum levels with certain probabilities of
exceedance in order to study the statistical analysis and the quantitative
assessment of the annual maximum flows, based on the values related to the
annual maximum flows recorded in the hydrometric stations from the basin. The
setting of these indicators represents only an early stage in the analytical
approach to flood risk of this basin, which should be followed by other
complementary stages that include the setting of parameters related to the
receptors sensitivity to the action of this risk type, to the exposure of the
receiving elements, to the value of the receivers and, finally, to the setting
of the flood risk value.
