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

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. RESULTS

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.

Bistrița River hydrological regime analysis considering the existence of the hydropower projects

Drd. Gianina Maria Costea (Cojoc) 17

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.

Fig. 5 Sources of pollution in Bistrita River basin

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.
