Abstract

The forming of ice jams on the Bistriţa river upstream of the Izvorul Muntelui lake end has been thought to be caused by the lake itself. However, this article shows other reasons and situations when this occurred, with examples for the 2014 winter. Furthermore, several methods that can be used to identify potential problem areas are also presented.
