Influence of climate variability on water sources of eastern Slovakia

Rok, strany: 2018, 227 - 233

Assessing the impact of climate variability on water resources influence their sustainable development. During the last years, we have experienced some extreme hydrological but also climatic situations. Often we expose to flash floods or extreme hot dry periods that have been a rare phenomenon in the past. Extreme climatic events have strong influence to water resources. We contributed to the water resource assessment in eastern Slovakia. We compared the abstractions and discharges of water in the Hornád watershed in period 1999–2015; climatic and hydrological variables – precipitation, water temperature, water flow and water level in the station Stratená/Švedlár in period 1954–2015. In the Hornád catchment area at the Hnilec River at river station Stratená, we observed that the average annual water temperatures had risen. Air temperature could have an effect on it. We have observed the use of water in the Hornád basin, where water abstraction has been declining over the observed period, but water discharges have increased.
