Topography

Galați is located in southeastern Romania. Its

coordinates are latitude 45 ° 27 'north and
longitude 28 ° 02' east. Its area is 246.4 square
kilometers (95.1 sq mi). Galați lies in the southern
part of the Moldavian Plateau on the left (west)
bank of the Danube river at the junction of the Siret
River (west) and the Prut River (east), near Lake
Brates. It is 80 kilometers (50 mi) from the Black
Sea. The nearest town is Brăila, 15 kilometers (9.3

terraces. One lies beneath "Valley City", with
elevations between 5 and 7 metres (16 and 23 ft).
The other two, which make a fan shape, have
elevations of 20–25 meters (66–82 ft) (the site of
the old town, now the city centre) and 40 meters
(130 ft) (the site of the modern city) respectively.

The Danube river is considered the "life-blood"

of Galați. The Danube is the second longest river in
Europe 2,850 km [ 1,770 mi ]), with an average flow
of 6,199 cubic meters (218,900 cu ft) per second in
the Galați section. After the Siret River, the largest
tributary in Romania, joins the Danube, the flow is
210 cubic meters per second (7,400 cu ft/s). After
the Prut River joins the Danube, the flow becomes
86 cubic meters per second (3,000 cu ft/s)
 The Danube river flows have significant seasonal
variation. The maximum flows occur in May;
18,000–19,000 m3/s or 640,000–670,000 cu ft/s.
The minimum flows occur during the summer;
2,000–2,450 m3/s or 71,000–87,000 cu ft/s
