ABSTRACT. The study of the greatest flash-flood on the Belcina river in a period of 25 years. The article aims to analyze the greatest flash-flood recorded within a period of 25 years namely the period of 1986-2010, on the Belcina river, an affluent of the Mureș river in the Gheorgheni Depression. The article begins by analyzing the particularities of the Belcina river basin, and it continues by emphasizing the methodology applied in this case. After that the study focuses on the conditional factors of the flash-flood phenomena on the Belcina river on a general basis followed by a study of the flash-flood event frequency on the Belcina river, and finally a study of the greatest flash-flood parameters. In studying the particularities of the greatest flash flood in 25 years (1986-2010) on the Belcina river, one has applied the following methodology: a study of the particularities of the conditional factors that influence the genesis and propagation of flash-floods on the Belcina river on a normal basis, a study of flash-flood frequency on the Belcina river, a comparative analysis of the first two greatest flash-floods occurring on the Belcina river each year within the period taken into consideration and finally the case study of the event itself.
