<strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Reports</strong> – Part C: Water Quality 31<br />
4.4.1 Network.<br />
The river network of the Carpathian tributaries of the Ukrainian section of the Danube River basin<br />
is presented at figure 4.1.<br />
4.4.2. Channel Cross Sections<br />
There are two gauging cross sections at the Ukrainian section of the river Danube: at the 54 miles<br />
and 115,2 miles from the river mouth. The measurements of the river depths were done August 7,<br />
1998 at the 54th mile with the water level 214 cm above the zero level of the Reni station, and 223<br />
cm above zero level at the 115,2th mile on August 6, 1998. These data are presented in Annexes.<br />
4.4.3. Gradients<br />
The Carpathian tributaries of the river Danube have different gradients along the riverbed. The<br />
upper reaches of the Carpathian tributaries of the Ukrainian section of the Danube rivers have usual<br />
very steep gradient in the very up reaches and are typical mountainous rivers (Table 4.1.).<br />

4.4.4. Flood Plains<br />
In Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernivtsi regions data on flooded lands for the Danube tributaries are not<br />
reported. In Odessa region the area of flooded lands is 176 ha. In Zakarpattia Region area of<br />
flooded lands is 107.500 ha.<br />
The flood events usually occur during spring - summer seasons (mainly during April - July). For<br />
example, during last 25 years the water level in Vylkovo exceeded the flood threshold 15 times,<br />
including complete flooding of Vylkovo in February 1969.<br />
The total area of flooded lands along the main riverbed of Danube depends upon water level (Table<br />
4.2.).<br />
