In May, June and July, the maximum flow of the Danube River will exceed the long-term average values, and the hydrological regime on inland rivers in some hydrographic basins will have values ​​above, but also below, monthly norms. value, between 50% and 80%, and sometimes even below 30%, according to the three-month forecast published by the National Institute of Hydrology and Water Management (INHGA) and cited by Agerpres.

Thus, in May 2023, the hydrological regime will be mainly at the level of 80-100% of the monthly multi-year average values, higher (above the monthly norms) on the rivers in the hydrographic basins: Bega Veke, Bega, Timis, Biarzava, Moraviţa, Caraş and Nera and smaller (50-80%) on the rivers of hydrographic basins: Olt inferior, Vedea Argeş, Rm. Sărat, Trotuş, Bârlad, on the Yalomitsa stream, in the middle and lower basin of the Prut River and on the Dobrudja rivers.

During May, significant flows on slopes, streams, creeks, flash floods and more significant increases in levels and flows are possible, with an excess of defense quotas, especially on some rivers in mountainous and mountainous areas, due to the combined effect of precipitation in the form of showers, the release of water from the snow layer in mountainous terrain and distribution.

In the first month of summer, as a rule, the hydrological regime will be 80-100% of the average monthly long-term indicators, lower (50-80%) on the rivers of the hydrographic basins: Karash, Nera, Cherna, middle and lower Jiu, Olt inferior, Argeş, Putna, Trotuş , on the Yalomitsa stream, on the middle and lower reaches of the Siret and Prut rivers, and on the Dobrudzha rivers. The lowest values ​​(30-50%) will be recorded in Vedea, Rum. Sarat, Barlad and Gija.

In June, significant runoff on slopes, streams, creeks and flash floods on some rivers in mountainous and mountainous areas is possible due to precipitation in the form of showers and torrential nature typical for this month, etc. significant increases in levels and flows exceeding defense quotas on some rivers, especially in the northern half of the country.

According to the INHGA, in July 2023 the hydrological regime will be at the level of 50-80% of the monthly average long-term values, higher (80-100%) on the rivers of the hydrographic basins: Viseu, Iza, Tur, Someş, Crasna, Barcău, Crișul Repede, Crișul Negru . and Gija (under 30%).

In July, episodic phenomena of significant leaks on the slopes, streams, streams and flash floods during torrential rains are possible.

For the Danube River, at the entrance to the country (at the Baziaş section), the maximum flow estimated in May is 8,500 cubic meters/second (m3/s), higher than the long-term average of 7,250 m3/s, and a minimum of 6,000 m /s, says the specialist’s forecast.

The maximum flow of the Danube, estimated by hydrologists in June 2023, is 9,000 m3/s, compared to the long-term average value of 6,400 m3/s, the minimum is 5,000 m3/s.

For the month of July, the average indicator is 5350 m3/s, while the maximum estimated flow of the Danube is 6500 m3/s, and the minimum is 3200 m3/s.

Hydrologists specify that these long-term forecasts will be updated with short-term assessments, which will be preceded, in situations where the possibility of exceeding defense quotas is assessed, by hydrological warnings issued based on the situation and the development of meteorological factors at the time.
