The Suceava River, a Siret River right tributary, measures 172.3 km in length, while its catchment area has 2616 km2. The Suceava average discharge measured at the river mouth is 14.1 m3/s and its solid discharge is 5.9 kg deposits/s.
The Suceava represents an average-size river (II). 40% from its course flows through mountainous and submountainous areas, while 60% through hilly regions.
Due to industrial and domestic wastes coming from the Suceava locality, the river became heavily polluted, but the pollution level decreased after 1990. However, no important river regularization works were made on this particular river course, except for a small dam upstream Suceava. |
