Premises for Agricultural Development in the Zăbala River Basin
Journal Title: Romanian Review of Regional Studies - Year 2011, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
The most important right bank tributary of the Putna River in the Land of Vrancea, the Zăbala River, springs from the main orographic node of the Vrancea Mountains and crosses the mountain area to create, at the contact between the mountains and the Sub-Carpathian region, a depression area which represented the habitational and economic support for the formation of the Land of Vrancea. One of the main economic activities developed within the Zăbala River basin is agriculture, a traditional occupation and at the same time a possible basis for a sustainable development. In the current paper, we have made an analysis of the main parameters which influence the practice of agriculture, as well as of the possibilities for the development of other agricultural activities depending on the characteristics of the available land fund, on the technological facilities and on the existing human resource by taking into consideration the structure and characteristics of the two current branches of the primary sector of activity.
