Abstract. The flash floods analysis, representative for Niraj River between
1970-2008. The need to know the characteristics of the flash floods is derived
from the number and the intensity of floods occurred in the drainage basin of
the Niraj river. Therefore, there were analyzed only the flash floods
representatives for the years: 1970, 1995, 1998, 2001, 2008.
The classification of the floods was realized according to the genesis and the
flash flood hydrograph shape for the period 1970-2008, before and after the
completion of the drainage basin planning/management depending on climatic,
morphometric and morphological factors.
Keywords: flash floods, floods, Niraj River, maximum flow.
