Abstract

Desnatui river is a tributary of the Danube on the first order Oltean and is part of the small rivers, with a length of 53 km and a basin area of 325 km2. On the whole hidrological basin has two second order tributaries with the springs of Desnatui river in the high Balacita field and tributaries on the lower piedmont hills. The confluence is in the complex of ponds, called Carna-Bistret. In the making of this paper we have used data from the hydrometric stations in the Desnătui basin (Dragoia and Afumati) and meteorological station (Craiova and Băilesti), data obtained in forty-four years time. The processing of this data was made using classic methods like analysis and synthesis from mathematical statistics. The aim of the study is to examine of the rainfall variability and fluid flow to establish a relationship between these two elements. In an attempt to determine the rapport between rainfall variability and leakage of Desnătui hydrographical basin, by various analysis of flow and precipitation, we observed that the variation of these parameters reflects the action of other physical and geographical factors than ones studied.
