%X Taken together, the Bahlui basin held a high potential hydrological risk, as attested by the numerous floods that have occurred over time, even in the recent history, such as the events which occurred here in 1932, when a part of the city of Iasi was under waters. After the extensive projects of hydrological development, the hydrological activity of the river was monitored continuously and thus under control. Today, thanks to these efforts to stop water threats, and after designing a comprehensive program of hydrological development, the Bahlui basin is 70-75% anthropic, being a model for the entire country and beyond. However, despite the high degree of river planning and development, there are areas where hydrological threat is still present, especially in small tributaries that have a hydrological system obsolete or missing. Thus, the applicability of formulas for determining maximum flows with different occurrence probabilities have found purpose by identifying the potential hydrological risk in case of very small pools and areas with a more torrential character. The existence of a digital database of the land related with debts results revealed a fact apparently known only by the affected population, namely that the negative events associated with the maximum flow occur and threat human society, agricultural land, households, and annexes. Therefore, on the assumption that flooding and high water runoffs should not get to a catastrophic level in order to start planning; it should be enough that there are sites under direct hydrological threat (bridges, roads, houses, agricultural land, etc.), the present analysis aims to constitute an evaluation model for better management and planning.
