Environmental aspects of water management at the detention reservoir as an example of designed Racibórz reservoir

Detention reservoirs are designed for rise interceptions of flow intensity exceeding the flow capacity of the discharge devices. With this follows gradual refill of the hemisphere reservoir, this results in a decrease of runoff size and a diminishing culmination. Detention reservoir designed in Raciborz will be located on the naturally valuable areas including grounds classified into Natura 2000 network and its influence will be seen at a flight of 230 km on the Odra River. The research analyzed the potential influence of the water management on the natural environment of the river valley. The flood heights are put together in the reservoir bowl. ...

Study of flood wave reduction in 2010 year in racibórz reservoir and Buków polder

The paper presents the general characteristics of two hydrotechnical objects that have a key role in protecting the upper and middle part of Odra valley against the flood: existing since 2002 Buków polder and planned the Racibórz reservoir. This paper presents a study of flood wave reduction in May 2010, with using the Buków polder capacity and presents simulations of the potential impact the Racibórz reservoir in several scenarios on the assumption discharge of water from reservoir.The results were referred to indications of the water gauge in Miedonia, giving a view of the percent reduction in the maximum state, and therefore the effectiveness of the flood protection system. They show clearly the importance of Racibórz reservoir as an integral and effective element to flood wave control on the upper Odra. ...
