Influence of Koronowski Reservoir on total suspension in the waters of the Brda River (Poland)

Abstract

Artificial water reservoirs fulfil many functions. The most important of them are: flood control, navigation, retency, energetics, recreation, etc. All of them playa significant role in water management. Division of the Brda River in the 60’s of the twentieth century and costruction of dam had influence on the circulation of matter in the whole water ecosystem. This resulted in compensation of flows on the Brda river (Jutrowska, 2007).
