Characteristics of the Annual- and Peak Discharges of the Upper Mures and Olt Rivers. The Mures and the Olt rivers flow through a somehow uniformous but well delimited row of depressions on the Eastern ridge of the Transilvania Basin. The annual mean and the peak discharges have been analysed at seven hydrometric stations for the 1950-2006 and the 1992-2006 periods. The mean discharges of the Olt river have a better correlation with the height of the surface than those of the Mures river. Both rivers present a clearly detectable regularity in the 1950-2006 period and on the Olt even a periodicity can be noticed. The variability factor moves within large boundaries in the case of both rivers. The probability curves are different as a result of the different local alimentation. The time-space differences are an important factor to know, both in water-management and in flood prevention.
