The goal of the paper is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of morphometric indicators within the Coastal Hydrographic Basin of Romania, utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies. In the current state of the field, morphometric analysis plays a crucial role in understanding hydrological systems and environmental management, particularly in regions with unique characteristics such as Romania's coastal area. The study uses a climatic dataset to gather essential climatic information. GIS tools are then employed to systematically evaluate morphometric parameters, including aridity index, watershed divide, basin area, shape, circularity and elongation ratio, and other relevant factors, providing a detailed and spatially explicit analysis of the basin's morphometric characteristics. The results of this analysis offer valuable insights into the hydrological and environmental conditions of the coastal area. However, it is important to acknowledge the limitations of the study, including potential constraints imposed by available datasets, which may limit the accuracy and depth of analysis. Nonetheless, the implications of the findings are significant for water resource management, environmental conservation, and sustainable development in Romania's coastal region. The study underscores the importance of integrating morphometric analysis into broader environmental management strategies and highlights the need for further research to enhance our understanding of coastal basin dynamics.
