THE IRRIGATED AREA OF ROMANIA, HOW IT EVOLVED AND WHAT CAPABILITIES EXIST FOR THE FUTURE

Adrian Banes, Miroslav Raicov, Andrea Feher, Manuela-Dora Orboi

Abstract


Romania has a wide variety of water resources, but these have a very high variability during the year, depending on the rainfall and provide a relatively low flow. The most important water resource for irrigation is the Danube River, the other inland rivers, summed up, barely rising to its level. Even if after 1989 Romania's irrigated area has steadily decreased, we have remained ahead of other countries in the region (such as Bulgaria, Serbia and Hungary). However, according to the scenarios presented in the paper, we still need at least 10 years to catch up with countries like France.

Keywords


irrigated area; agricultural land; evolution; future capabilities.
