This paper focuses on the regime of sediment transportation to the river mouth of a catchment of 206 km2, located on the easternmost side of the Eastern Carpathians (NE Romania). The primary aim of the paper is to attempt a quantification of the catchment controlling factors of the sediment volume transited through the drainage network and their annual and multi-annual distribution. Among these factors we will focus on the role of sediment sources and human interventions in the mobilization of sediments towards rivers. The data employed in this study were obtained from the Parhauti gauging station (1973 to 2014), located at a distance of about 1.7 km from the confluence of the Solonet River with the Suceava River. These are represented of measurements of water discharge, suspended sediment discharge (hourly or daily measurements during flash flood intervals) and monthly values. The data were correlated …
