The role and contribution of the Forest Research and Management Institute in the establishment of the Romanian school for torrential watershed management

摘要

The forestry research conducted by the Forest Research and ManagementInstitute specialists accomplished the conception of torrential watershed managementdue to four directions achievements:1. The afforestation of the eroded terrains caused by water, sloughing terrains or/andthe degraded terrains produced by the mining exploitations.2. The forestry hydrology: determination of both the forest capacity for precipitationsretention and the reduction of the overland flow.3. The technical methods of torrent control: realization of economic dams.4. The hydrology of small torrential watersheds: elaboration of the prediction meth-ods for net storm rain, maximum discharge and for the sediment production
