Abstract
On the basis of the processing of the hydrometrical data stock 
accumulated between 1861-1975, the average multiannual values of the
water discharge and the suspended silts discharge by the Danube river
into the Black Sea are presented in the paper. For a period of 115
years the average value of the water discharge was 6283 mc/s 
(198.14 x 109? mc/yr) and that of the suspended silts discharge was
1569 kg/s (49.48 x 106? T/yr). It has been found that the tendency
of the Danube water turbidity in the past years is its lowering.
