Bistrița River hydrological regime analysis considering the existence of the hydropower projects
Drd. Gianina Maria Costea (Cojoc) 12
Keywords: Bistrita, hydrological regime, flash floods,
reservoir lakes, flow reconstitution, silting, water quality
1. INTRODUCTION
The complex influences of human society on the
hydrographic networks have lately gained a particular
momentum because of the development of economic
activities. Very often even if the hydrotechnical works
were meant to bring benefits, they had many negative side
effects, and sometimes disastrous.
The anthropogenic activities have an important
impact on the environment due to a complex development
of water courses (in this case - Bistrița River Basin) for
primordial economic interests, namely: drinking water
supply, irrigation, industrial and prevention and defence
against floods, gravel pits, resources exploitation C.E.S.
(soil erosion), hydropower, etc.
The present doctoral thesis aims to be challenging
on the study, in terms of the hydrological regime, of the
Bistrita River Basin. The research focuses on the most
important aspects and does not detail the myriad
hydrological issues. The meteorological and hydrological
data (up to the year 2014) collected from various
institutions: National Administration of Meteorology,
National Institute of Hydrology, and Water Management
Administration, Siret Water Basin Administration, SC
Hidroelectrica SA. Observations in the field aimed to link,
validate the data, and completed by photographic images
in order to have a clearer image of the terrain.
In addition to all this it has been achieved a
number of thematic maps by means of modern techniques
of ArcGIS type. The maps display in a suggestive manner
Bistrița River hydrological regime analysis considering the existence of the hydropower projects
Drd. Gianina Maria Costea (Cojoc) 13
issues relating to the elements that make up the natural
setting in which it forms and evolves water resources from
the Bistriţa River basin (relief, geology, soils, vegetation,
land use, etc.).
2. DATABASE AND METHODOLOGY
The database includes hydrological data
(maximum flow, medium liquid, and mud in suspension)
from hydrometrical stations from the Bistrița River Basin,
climatic data (rainfall, annual, and monthly temperatures)
from pluviometric and meteorological stations in the area.
New information related to the degree of silting of the
reservoirs from Bistrița, and land use were analysed (the
international database CORINE Land Cover and
cartographicmaterials – ortophotoplans 2006;
topographic maps 1:25000, edition ’80; digital terrain
model for Romania, SRTM90).
Geological, geomorphologic, and soil data etc.
were taken from the literature or from personal
observations resulting from field trips. Cartographic base
conforms to the maps in the scale 1:25.000 and
ortophotoplans developed by ANCPI Romania. The
cartographic materials have also been taken from
http://srtm.csi.cgiar.org/website (CGIAR CHALLENGE,
2008) SRTM 90 m (Digital Elevation Data). Data on the
degree of afforestation is taken from the Corine Land
Cover 2006 prepared by the Ministry of the Environment
and Sustainable Development
(http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data).
The database has been processed both graphically
and statistically for the achievement of the objectives of
the work. The software used to process graphics and
Bistrița River hydrological regime analysis considering the existence of the hydropower projects
Drd. Gianina Maria Costea (Cojoc) 14
database for statistical analysis are Microsoft Excel
(XLstat) and Sigmaplot, and maps were constructed using
ArcGIS software 10.3.
Methodology of classical and contemporary work
includes:
- Surveys in areas with a high level of flood
occurring;
- Statistical interpretation of numerical,
hydrological and climate data in order to identify some
correlations and obtain specific opportunities of
forecasting, etc.;
- Terrain investigation to validate data;
- Mapping (through software) of the climatic
parameters with impact on the hydrological regime of the
rivers;
- Data processing, starting from the digital terrain
Model, to emphasise a number of morphometric
parameters of water basins (area, length, slope of the
basin, of river network, different hydrographic network
density, form factors, with the development of surface and
subsurface flow routing etc.);
- Testing, validation and application of
mathematical models for forecasting.

3.1. Runoff regime (average, maximum, and
minimum).
In order to make an analysis of the runoff regime
were taken into account more hydrometrical stations, both
on the main course and tributaries. The main source of
runoff water supply is precipitation and snow cover.
Groundwater bring an intake of about 30 percent, even
Bistrița River hydrological regime analysis considering the existence of the hydropower projects
Drd. Gianina Maria Costea (Cojoc) 15
more according to some other studies (Lăzărescu, Panait,
1958; Băloi, 1971; Amăriucăi, 1975; Diaconu et al., 1982;
Olariu, 1992).
After a monthly analysis of runoff, the result is
that the winter months register the lowest values. In terms
of percentage, in the winter months (December-February)
runs between 8.4% of the annual volume at hydrometric
station Poiana Stampei and 23.0% at stations in Bacau
(Barnat River). In December, the runoff was between
3.3% and 6.8%; 2.5% in January and 6.4 percent and in
February by 2.4 percent and 6.2 percent. Spring is the
richest season, from this point of view, having a total of
32.5-50.0%. Summer runoff retain is also rich (28.4% of
24.5-annual volume) due to the large quantities of rain
falling this season. Since early august the monthly runoff
decreases (-11.8%) and 6.9 this drop continues throughout
the fall: September (6.8-7.9%), October (3.8-6.8%) and
November (3.4-6%). In general, one can speak of rich
runoff, when the specific flow rates are higher than 10
l/sec/km ².
Analysing the runoff for a longer period of time
we can identify years with average runoff (1956, 1960,
1965, 1967, 1976, 1985, 1993, 2000, 2004, 2006 etc.),
years with rich runoff – rainy years (1955, 1969, 1970,
1972, 1973, 1975, 1978, 1979, 1981, 1984, 1988, 1991,
1995, 2006, 2008, 2010) and years with poor runoff –
droughty years (1950, 1952, 1963, 1968, 1987, 1990,
1994, 1995, 2003).
The hydrotechnical works from the main course of
Bistrita River and main tributaries aimed to alleviate
flooding, to ensure the supply of water and electricity.
Floods from 1970 could not be prevented since the spring
Bistrița River hydrological regime analysis considering the existence of the hydropower projects
Drd. Gianina Maria Costea (Cojoc) 16
rains have filled the riverbeds up to banks level and the
reservoirs were full. In this case, the floods manifested as
on an undeveloped river. The latest floods, from 1991,
2005, or 2010, occurred mostly on some tributaries. Flood
waves were propagated on Bistrita River because some
reservoirs have a high degree of silting, so they could not
take up the excess water and the waves had devastating
effects. In the case of watershed flow, small floods which
occur are caused by the existence of conditions favouring
local: anthropogenic deforestation, inappropriate works
(bridges, dams, etc.), occupation of the minor riverbed
due to economic objectives (sawmills, gravel and sand
stations etc.) or houses etc.
For mitigation and actual warning of floods
DESWAT program (installation of automated stations and
flow tracking).
3.2. The hydrotechnical development of Bistrita River
Basin and the impact on the aquatic ecosystem.
The large basin surface (4070 km² – in the middle
and inferior sectors), the average flow 50.7 m³/s and
maximum flow1080 m³/s, a fall of 372 m for 125 km
distance and an average power potential of 1200 kw/km,
make this sector perfect for a series of functionalities:
energy producer, flow regulation, mitigation of floods,
irrigation, water supply and recreation.
The construction of reservoirs is a major
intervention in the natural hydrologic system because of
the modifications that occur. Therefore, the water balance
has great importance when analysing a reservoir.

Fig. 1 Bistrita River Hydropower development (source Siret Water
Basin Administration, 2015)
The cascade of reservoirs on Bistrita River
influences the level regime in this sector because of the
hydropower plants. Thus, determination of all
components of the hydrological balance implies a very
laborious and difficult activity.
There were taken into account the values recorded
at the hydrometric stations from the middle and lower
sectors of Bistrita River and the evaporimetric station
Ruginesti in order to calculate the hydrological balance of
Izvoru Muntelui Reservoir. Relief, slope, vegetation, land
use etc. directly influence the average runoff, as part of
the water balance.
Affluent flows (Qaffluent) used are: flows from
hydrometrical stations from the basin ; deffluent flows of
the reservoir ; flows from adducts ; interbasin
corresponding flow areas ; flow of precipitation that fell
on the reservoir surface and flow corresponding to the
quantity of water stored in the snow and ice.
Bistrița River hydrological regime analysis considering the existence of the hydropower projects
Drd. Gianina Maria Costea (Cojoc) 18
Deffluente flows (Qdeffluent) used are: flows
corresponding to derivations; flows corresponding to
conducts; turbine flows; evacuated flows; flows
corresponding to evaporation from the reservoir surface .
For calculating the water balance for Izvoru
Muntelui we have the equation Qaffluent = Qdeffluent ±
W/T, expressed in m³/s.

3.3. Degree of silting for the reservoirs
When a forecast of silting (taking into account the
existing measurements and solid flow transported from
Bistrita River) Izvoru Muntelui Reservoir is not in danger
of silting in the nest millennia. The silting rate cannot be
higher than 200000 m³/year.
Besides the role of regulating the flow regime, the
reservoirs have a very important role in mitigating flood
waves. Of all the reservoirs on Bistrita River, Izvoru
Muntelui is the only one that can take over 1% assurance
flash floods, respectively 360 mln. m3.

After analysing the degree of reservoir silting in
the basin we concluded that most of the reservoirs are
silted even over 50%, which means that the
supplementary flows cannot be totally stored and severe
floods with devastating effects may manifest. Exception
to this rule are Topoliceni, Tasca, Izvoru Muntelui and
Reconstruc Reservoirs (the sediment load in the reservoirs
has been removed by successive unsilting).

3.4. Water quality
The most important sources of pollution in Bistrita
River basin are located in urban areas or around: Vatra
Dornei, Bicaz, Piatra Neamt, Savinesti-Roznov, Buhusi
and Bacau. Pollutant load from the industrial water is one
of the largest and the most harmful types of pollution.
Bistrița River hydrological regime analysis considering the existence of the hydropower projects
Drd. Gianina Maria Costea (Cojoc) 22
Lately, most operators have started to modernize
the equipment in order to reduce pollutant characteristics
of wastewater. Currently several programs are ongoing
for developing and modernization of centralized sewerage
systems and wastewater system.
In terms of water quality Bistrita River is devided
into two sections: the upper stream, where water
parameters are fully good class quality (class I quality);
and the middle and lower stream, where the water has an
average quality.

3.5. Hydrological modelling. Flooding maps.
In order to prevent or mitigate the effects of floods
and to enable us to comply with the national strategy and
European legislation is necessary to achieve and update
natural hazard and risk maps.
Bistrița River hydrological regime analysis considering the existence of the hydropower projects
Drd. Gianina Maria Costea (Cojoc) 23
The database related to Bistrita River basin has
been harnessed by making flooding maps for the areas
with priority interest.
Certain elements were needed for creating the
flooding maps, such as: flows, climatic data (temperatures
and precipitations), computing hydrographs, a
hydrodynamic model, and the levels during floods. For
the hydrodynamic model first were prepared: topographic
elevations, hydrographic measurements, aerial and
topographic measurements for the hydrotechnical
constructions.
This chapter analysed a very important subject for
European policy in the field of water management
(Directive flooding/2007). The final products are obtained
with advanced technologies and are very useful as flood
risk, now, is based on very complex, detailed, and
accurate information.

4. CONCLUSION
Bistrita River is the longest tributary of Siret, with
a length of 283 km, an area of 7039 km² and 193
tributaries of its own. The geographical location of
Bistrita River basin is of great importance in determining
its hydrological regime, as it has an influence on all the
factors that depend on it: climatic, geological,
morphological, vegetation, soil, land use, etc.
Bistrita River is located in the middle of the
temperate continental climate with oceanic influences.
The current course of Bistrita began to emerge
towards the end of presarmatian period, and in the middle
of sarmatian Bistrita’s course was comparable to the
current one.
Bistrita River passes through two major units:
Carpathian Orogen unit, from the Bistrita’s springs to the
Bistrița River hydrological regime analysis considering the existence of the hydropower projects
Drd. Gianina Maria Costea (Cojoc) 26
locality Racova; and the Platform unit, from Racova
locality to the confluence with the Siret River.
There can be identified tree large sectors of relief:
the mountainous sector (Oriental Carpathians) from
Bistrita’s springs to Piatra Neamt locality; the
subcarpathian sector from Piatra Neamt locality to
Racova locality; and the tableland sector, from Racova
locality to the confluence with Siret River. The high
terraces are well represented, and the meadow steps reach
large widths.
The diversity of physical-geographical factors
(relief, climate, soils) favoured the development of
complex vegetation (alpine, sub-alpine, spruce forest,
mixed beech-coniferous and beech).
The most significant floods from Bistrita River
basin registered in 1970, 1991, 2005, and 2010.
After 1950, the Bistrita hydropower development
started to shape. For the whole cascade of reservoirs on
the Bistrita River were constructed 10 dams, 12
hydropower plants, and 61 km of channel. In order to
transform this sector sometimes people and localities had
to be moved.
The construction of reservoirs represented an
intervention in the natural hydrologic system by changing
some of its characteristics. Therefore calculating the water
balance is of great importance because it represents the
balance between the total affluent flows (A) and total
deffluent flows (B) and, of course, the variation of the
water volume in the reservoir (W/T). The reservoirs have
a significant role because they can mitigate the flood wave
downstream.
Bistrița River hydrological regime analysis considering the existence of the hydropower projects
Drd. Gianina Maria Costea (Cojoc) 27
The reservoirs on Bistrita River have a degree of
silting over more than 50%, which means that
supplementary flows cannot be stored completely and
may manifest devastating floods. The Topoliceni, Tasca
(on Bicaz River), Izvoru Muntelui and Reconstructia (the
alluvial deposit has been removed by successive
unsilting) are the exceptions.
The main sources of pollution in Bistrita River
Basin are from the traditional human activities and from
recent industry. The water quality is first class on the
upper stream and IInd, IIIrd, IVth, Vth class on the middle
and inferior course.
The HYDRAULIC MODELLING chapter –
flooding maps analysed a very important and up to date
subject. The database was analysed and the flooding maps
for Bistrita River have been achieved by using ISIS
modelling program.
