Abstract
<p>The aim of this paper is to analyze the fluvial landforms and to identify the main factors that influence the Danube floods. In this respect, we have performed a short analysis of the morphological and morphometric elements of the Danube Floodplain from the Oltenita - Calarasi area, of the wetlands and a correlation between these and the floods that have been cause. Finally, the current situation of embankments was assessed. For understanding the causes of floods in the studied area, two aspects should be taken into consideration: the morphometric and morphologic properties of the floodplain (low altitudes, low slope, low <a href="http://hallo.ro/search.do?l=ro&amp;d=en&amp;query=roughness">roughness</a>) and human intervention (drainage of the lakes and wetlands, harnessing measures like irrigation and drainage channels, lack of embankments rehabilitation).</p>
