GIS assisted estimation of the maximum runoff for an charcoal quarries before and after industrial impact

ABSTRACT. – GIS assisted estimation of the maximum runoff for an charcoal quarries before and after industrial impact. The present article evaluates the new characteristics of the maximal runoff from the Rosiuta perimeter (Motru’s Pidmont in Romania), where more than 500 mil.m3 of soil, sand, clay and lignite were removed from a surface of around 800 ha, in some places the digging reaching 90 m of depth. This study is necessary for the estimation of new risks of flash flooding, much higher today than before, threatening the villages in the affected area. Because these are ungaged basins, both the scenario of maximal discharge before impact and the one after impact are realized through indirect, GIS-assisted methods.
