Summary:

Antiflow screens are often used to improve seepage conditions through earth hydrotechnique constructions. Mathematical researches of seepage allowed, during project works, to estimate these construction components efficiency and establish useful variant for protecting safety of new projected and modernized antiflood embankment Odra river at Kozanów. Increase seepage coefficient from 0 to 0.1 md^-1 cause flow increase by 15–75% for homogeneous and by 60–200% for anhomogeneous cross-section. Otherwise, increase thickness of earth screen from 0,25 to 1,00 m cause flow decrease by 10-30% for homogeneous and by 30–100% for anhomogeneous cross-section.
