Abstract

The most reliable and comprehensive account of suspended sediment flow in the Danube Delta can be measured using a standard method which consists of establishing a relationship between a single (ρ_s) and an average turbidity (ρ_a). Special research has been conducted and proved it possible to establish that ρ_a in all instances is greater than ρ_s and this is characteristic of all the gauging stations where the observation of turbidity was conducted. As a result of the conducted recalculation, the normal suspended sediment flow account in the delta of the Danube is more than in archival records.
