Iosif Berman · 1930

The network of channels derived from the three streams from the territory of Runcu village allows the water supply of a whole set of technical installations operated by its force. In the picture is the construction of a water plant for the processing of wool, a devil. The construction that houses the installation operated by a vertical wheel, has the stone walls and the shingle roof. On the initiative and under the direction of Professor Dimitrie Gusti from 29 June to 18 August 1930, a team of 60 monographers methodically and analytically researched all areas of his life - cosmological, biological, psychological, historical, economic, spiritual, political-administrative, at Runcu, Gorj, village (documentary attestation in 1486) situated at the foothills of the Vâcan Mountains in Sohodolului Gorge. Following this thorough investigation we defined the Romanian concepts about the theory and technique of sociological monography that in the coming years began to be known and applied also by researchers from other countries in Europe.
