The Suhu is a left tributary of the river Geru in Romania.[1][2] It flows into the Geru near Piscu. The basin size of the 72 km (45 mi) long Suhu is 373 km2 (144 sq mi).[2][3] It is also known as Suhurlui,[3] but the Suhurlui is also a right tributary of the Suhu.[2] Before the regularization of the lower course of the Siret, it was a tributary of the Bârlădel, a branch of the Siret.[4] After the embankment of the Siret plain, the upper course of the Bârladel became the lower reach of the Geru.
