The quality resources

Summary/Abstract: A significant element characterizing a lasting development inBraila Plain region, but also in any other similar area, would be an environmentfactor that is the water, with an increasing importance when considered against thehigh dryness background. Generally speaking, both the consumed water and theconsumption structure reflect the quality and quantity of water resources and,implicitly, the economic potential of the region at issue. As for Braila Plain, herethere is a paradox to be considered: even if the region is bordered by highlysignificant rivers (The Danube and Siret) with huge flows – not to mention here thesalty water lakes or underground streams with a more or less drinking water – theneed of drinking water becomes obvious, mostly in summer and autumn. Theclimate, morphometric and lithological conditions confer certain peculiarities uponthe waters resources of the Northern-Eastern Romanian Plain. One can say aboutthe Braila Plain hydrographical network that it is poor and this is due to thedischarge, situated under the value of 1 l/sqkm, but also to the very low reliefenergy. The allochthonous Rivers: the Danube, Siret, Buzau and Calmatui areaffected by the relief climate conditions and also by the size and the geographicposition of the hydrographical basins.
