The forestry sector, due to its binary nature (biologically specific but also technical), must participate in solving some problems regarding the conservation and improvement of hydrological resources, the inventory and sustainable exploitation of all resources, the research of the structures and compositions of stands in hydrographic basins, in order to improve the hydrological functions of forests and soil protection. The paper presents a series of characteristics and parameters of the Aleu Valley watercourse and at the same time of the hydrographic and forest basin in which it is located. For this purpose, a series of determinations of water flows, parameters of the hydrographic basin (type of longitudinal profile of the course, shape, surface, maximum length and width, perimeter, shape index, average slope of the basin, length of the hydrographic network), as well as the analysis of the degree of total afforestation and partial areas in the Aleu Valley basin. The results of these analyzes may be of interest in order to capitalize on the potential of small watercourses in the forestry sector in the fisheries or energy fields.
