Summary/Abstract: This study aims to develop risk analysis methodologies on floods, analyze floods produced on the Suhu River in Pechea village (Galați county), and factors that favor flooding. Flood analysis represents one of the main concerns of researchers in hydrology in the context of climate change. It is increasingly leaving its mark on the frequency of precipitation and, implicitly, on the production of floods. We presented the definitions of floods, and we presented the study area in the first part of the article. The monthly and seasonal frequency of floods were analyzed, and there were calculated specific parameters of a flood produced in the study area. Then, the factors that favor the occurrence of floods were analyzed. The results obtained will contribute to the complete information on floods in small basins in the plain area on the Romanian territory.
