Review

Based solely on the title, "THE IMPACT OF RESERVOIRS ON RIVERS MORPHOMETRY, PRUT RIVER CASE STUDY," this paper addresses a highly relevant and critical area of river science and management. The influence of anthropogenic structures like reservoirs on the natural geomorphology of rivers is a well-established phenomenon with significant ecological and hydrological implications. A focused case study on the Prut River offers a valuable opportunity to provide empirical evidence and deepen our understanding of these complex interactions within a specific geographic and environmental context. The topic itself holds substantial promise for contributing to both theoretical knowledge and practical river basin planning. Without the accompanying abstract, a detailed assessment of the methodology and specific findings is not possible. However, a robust study on this topic would ideally employ a multi-temporal analysis, comparing morphometric parameters (e.g., channel width, depth, sinuosity, bed material composition, sediment transport rates) before and after reservoir construction, or comparing reaches above and below the dam. Such a study would be expected to utilize a combination of remote sensing, GIS analysis, and potentially field-based surveys to quantify changes. Key questions this research should address include the spatial extent of the impact, the types of morphometric adjustments observed (e.g., incision, aggradation, bank erosion), and the underlying hydrological and sedimentological mechanisms driving these changes in the Prut River system. The potential significance of such a study for the Prut River basin and beyond is considerable. Understanding the specific morphometric responses of the Prut to reservoir construction can inform targeted management strategies aimed at mitigating negative impacts, restoring river health, and ensuring sustainable water resource use. Furthermore, if the paper offers novel insights into the drivers or patterns of morphometric change, or employs an innovative methodological approach, it could contribute significantly to the broader academic discourse on reservoir-induced geomorphic alteration. The full scientific contribution, however, remains to be seen, pending a review of the abstract and complete manuscript.
