Description :
This paper concerns with the morphometry of the flood plains. Against the general conception that a flood plain widens from upstream to downstream, the AA. point out that, at least in the Moldavian Tableland, the width of a flood plain increases only together with the increase of Strahler order; moreover, between two successive confluence of the same or of close orders, a flood plain narrows from upstream to downstream, being regenerated by a new confluence. This tendance is a general rule in the Moldavian Tableland, and seems to have a large extension in the Romanian flood plains. - (E. Rusu).
