Water balance in Căliman Mountains
Water balance in Căliman Mountains

Summary/Abstract: The water balance from the largest and most expanded volcanic massif in Romania was calculated using the equation developed by M.I. Lvovici in 1974: Xo = Yo + Zo; Xo = So + Wo = So + (Uo + Z o). The assessment of the balance components was based on data from 12 hydrometric stations, four meteorological stations and eight pluviometric stations. The range of years for which the multilingual average values were calculated was 1961-2010. The correlations between the main balance components and the altitude of the relief allowed the identification of the areas where their spatial distribution has similar peculiarities. The spatial distribution of the main components of the water balance was made on altitude intervals and hydrographic basins. For each element of the balance sheet, maps have been prepared, which allowed valuation of the values corresponding to the main river basins in the studied region (Someş, Mureş and Siret).
