Fig. 7.7 Difference between natural and measured flow in the Siret-Prut area
The collection of water for economic activities is divided into various sectors
(Figs. 7.8 and 7.9). The smallest quantities are used in livestock farming, with mean
annual values of 2.1 M m
3 , and the irrigation of agricultural land, with mean annual
values of 90 M m
3 . The various forms of industry require the largest amounts of
water in the region, with mean annual values of over 140 M m
3 . In the Siret-Prut
area, the volume of water collected annually for economic purposes reaches a mean
of 450 M m
3 , with variations based on natural conditions and the dynamics of the
activities requiring it.
