Located in a temperate – continental area the Romania’s mainland is influenced in the last period by the worldwideclimate changes: extreme weather conditions (high temperatures and prolonged dryness, rainfall accompanied bystorm) what have as effects: increasing the risk of desertification, floods, forest fires, erosion, landslides, flash floods,snow squall etc. As precipitation effects have resulted leakage liquid and solid, in particular on slopes without forests,which led to the submission of material eroded in river beds. Concentrating leaks have resulted in an increase in flowsof the volume and speed both water on slopes as well as the network of sinks and intensify torrential erosion processes.Floods have been accompanied by intense processes of erosion of the banks causing subsidences or land slides. Theother vessel types were excessive transport have clogged hydrological collecting network and as a result, havediminished the ability of transit of liquid flows, increasing frequency and flood, with negative implications for waterquality and social and economic activity. The paper, address an integrated approaches cause-effect by analysing riverPutna’s basin following aspects: analysis of risks and their main causes of, any effects on the ecosystems, vulnerabilityof water resources, measures to reduce their impact on water resources.
