Tributary of Danube, Romania, Serbia
At the mouth it carries 47 m³/s on average: an Olympic pool every 53 seconds. It drops from 426 m to 66 m, 1.0 m per kilometre on average. Its basin covers 10,280 km², about the size of LB. 524,000 people live in it. Highest water: February and April. Its dams hold back little of its water (6.9% of a year's flow).

Timiș River, month by month
Highest water: February and April
Best months to visit: from May to September.
From about 20 m³/s in the lowest month to 99 m³/s in the highest. An estimate: the monthly flow is modelled from the lowest and highest months of WaterGAP (RiverATLAS, 1971–2000) and the rain and snow along the river (WorldClim). Dams change the real rhythm. The chip is the average air temperature; below it, the month's rain.
