Determination of retention value using Mike She model in the area of young glacial catchments

Abstract

Abstract The aim of the paper is the identification of the kinds and conditions of retention occurring in the selected of young glacial catchment (the Potok Oliwski) in natural and anthropogenic conditions by means of the mathematic model of Mike She. As a result of the performed calculations it has been possible to determine that the studied area, thanks to the nature-shaped factors, has a high retention potential, which refers to the ground water storage. The conditions of surface retention, in which a great role is played by blind drainage, have been analysed as well.
