Summary: Current frequent alternation of dry and wet periods is justification
for elaboration of new climate indices that would take into account rainfall
precarious aspect in the Republic of Moldova’s territory. In dry periods
assessment is proposed Dry Periods Izu Index which illustrates the
desertification degree in Central and South part of the country, and Rainfall
Excesses Ip Index, that expresses the degree of abundant rainfall degree in
terms of floods risk. Using Geographical Information Systems were developed Izu
and Ip cartographic models, which illustrate the vulnerable territories to the
desertification process and flooding risks.
Key-Words: Periods Izu Index, Rainfall Excesses Ip Index, Geographical
Information Systems, dry and wet periods
