 Temesch near Lugoj |

The Temesch ( Romanian Timiş ; Serbian Tamiš Тамиш ; Hungarian Temes ) is a river in Romania and Serbia . During Roman times , the Temesch was called Tibiscus .
River course
The source of the Temesch is located in the Semenic Mountains (part of the Banat Mountains ) in the Caraș-Severin County, Romania. The Temesch then crosses the Banat , then flows past the Serbian town of Sečanj and flows into the Danube at Pančevo.
The Temesch has a length of 359 kilometers. In Romania the river has a length of 231 km, a catchment area of 5795 km² and a water flow of 37 m³ / s. On Serbian territory, the Temesch has a length of 181 km.
After flowing through the dam at Trei Ape , the Temesch winds through a narrow river bed in a south-easterly direction. At Teregova , its course takes a northerly direction, then from Caransebeş, thanks to the lower location in a wide river bed, it leisurely crosses the Timiş district and then flows into the Danube near Pančevo in Serbia . Over a length of 3.3 km, the Temesch forms the natural border with Serbia. The Temesch is regulated in its lower course and navigable for the last 53 km. The most important port on the Timisoara is Pančevo.
The old estuary was originally between the towns of Čenta and Surduk . The Karaš Canal is reminiscent of the old watercourse and the area between the old and new courses of the Timisoara and the Danube forms the so-called Pančevo rit. In the past, this area was always threatened by floods, but was drained after the Second World War and today forms the “breadbasket” of Belgrade.

Floods
In water-rich years, Timisoara causes floods. One of the worst floods occurred in 1876. From 1928 to 1934, the French company Société de construction des Batignolles built a dam along the towns of Baranda, Opovo, Sefkerin , Glogonj , Jabuka as far as Pančevo to create a flood plain and the Protect localities. Most of this dam no longer exists today. The damage caused by the 2005 floods, when the villages of Boka and Jaša Tomić suffered severe damage, was devastating. On April 20, 2005 the level was 844 cm, the highest level since the water level measurements began. In 2007, the dams on both sides of the river were increased over a length of 11.5 km on the right bank and 13.2 km on the left bank. The dams, which now exceed a height of 8.5 m, are intended to prevent further flooding in the future. Several fishing facilities were built along the Temeschlaufes, including in Banatski Despotovac , Uzdin , Sakule and Slatina .
