Hydrography

 

 

– the waters observed in the analyzed area are classified into the following categories:

• Danube ”Borcea” (Borcea an arm of Danube which is separated from the main course of the Danube upstream of Calarasi in Calarasi ferry crossing point – ”Ostrov” and meets the river downstream near the village Giurgeni. On this arm there are the towns  Calarasi and Fetesti. This arm is approximately 100 km long, draining 20% of the total recorded on the Danube.

• ”Jegalia”: the ancestry valley with the springs begin slightly from south of Saveni (Ialomita County) but permanent leaking goes on for a few miles north of Jegalia village. It is comprised in the ”Jegalia”  irrigation system (22,269 ha).

• Barza – Baba Ana – Galatui: the ancestry valley and the springs lie north - west of the village of ”Plevna”, Lupşanu village, Calarasi County. It is a typical valley called ”furcitură” = fork (because of the aspect of confluences). Leakage is disturbed by numerous dams and artificial feeding from the Danube. For this course, the changing leak in the irrigation system "Gălăţui - Calarasi" (696 ha), is the most important anthropogenic intervention.

• irrigation cannals "Calarasi Terrace" (10059 ha) is an anthropogenic implant in this

      area without a natural river system (excluding the Danube).

• ”Ciocanesti” Lake - 220 ha, fishing lakes complex which resulted after processing floodplain – draining and changing the Boianu – Sticleanu floodplain lake complex.

• ”Galatui Lake” – 750 ha, river edge, formed by the confluence of the “Barza”, ”Potcoava” and ”Rasanca” valleys.

• ”Iezerul Calarasi” Lake – 550 ha, a complex of fish lakes result after the processing floodplain and changing the complex Calarasi floodplain lakes.
