Abstract: An effective flood protecti<strong>on</strong> system requires the producti<strong>on</strong> of a computer based<br />

subsystem, able to model characteristic hydro-morphological data and a technological<br />

subsystem using the informati<strong>on</strong> received from the computer based subsystem (parameters<br />

needed by quick interventi<strong>on</strong> devices to avoid flood damage). In this paper I present the<br />

stages of digital modeling using GIS ARCHYDRO comp<strong>on</strong>ents. To exemplify, I chose an<br />

experimental area, the hydrographic space of Trebes River, right affluent of Bistrita River.<br />

In the design process I used a basemap c<strong>on</strong>taining geographic data <strong>on</strong> water leakage from<br />

the Hydrographic Area Siret, which includes the catchment boundaries, water courses and<br />

bodies shape files. We also used a geographic database that keeps all data layers and create<br />

relati<strong>on</strong>ships within the geographical database and a set of features for each of the<br />

m<strong>on</strong>itoring stati<strong>on</strong>s, part of the geographical database. Through the processing of hydromorphological<br />

database, I determined:<br />

- the length secti<strong>on</strong>s of streams in specified secti<strong>on</strong>s of interest;<br />

- the areas of river sectors, where all the water leaks are drained from.<br />

Modeling is very useful for flood forecasting, for the interpretati<strong>on</strong> of other phenomena<br />

produced al<strong>on</strong>g the water courses, but also for quick interventi<strong>on</strong> in order to prevent flood<br />

damages, accidental polluti<strong>on</strong>, water use restricti<strong>on</strong>s in times of low water, etc. This model<br />

can be optimized and can become an expert system in critical cases of damage preventi<strong>on</strong><br />

and defense against waterways emergencies.<br />

Key words: Geographic Informati<strong>on</strong> System, hydro-morphological, flood.<br />
