The reaction of the Tatra’s vaucluse water systems to catastrophic weather events. Prz. Geol., 68: 561-565. Abstract. Long-term observation of the Tatra Mountains have allowed the determination of the degree ofsensitivity of waters circulating in karst vaucluse systems to atmospheric phenomena. The correlation coefficients for r fluctuations in the water table in Tatra vaucluse springs clearly show that during the period from the beginning of the monitoring, in the 1980s, to the mid-2010s (2013), the waters of all Tatra vaucluse springs reacted in a similar way. Disastrous storms that, at the turn of 2013 caused huge damage to the vegetation covering the areas of the Polish part of the Western Tatras, contributed to the intensification of surface erosion processes and, as a consequence, to uncovering outcrops of karst rocks. An analysis of correlation relationships between fluctuations in the water table in the Tatra vaucluse springs in the period after 2013 showed a clear change in the value of the correlation coefficient r in relation to the waters circulating in the Wywierzysko Chochołowskie vaucluse system.

The aim of the study was to determine the influence of the load on the water accumulation embankment crown on changes in the course of the filtration curve in its body. The study was carried out with a medium-size filtration apparatus. We made a model of hydrotechnical embankment with the following dimensions. Width: base 2.0 m, crown 0.5 m. Slope inclination: waterside 1:1.5, landside 1:1. Embankment height 0.6 m, width 1.0 m, weight 900 kg. The construction material included a homogeneous mineral subsoil classified as silty medium sand (siMSa). The embankment model made in a medium-size apparatus kept the accumulation level at a height of 0.5 m. With data from the recording systems, we determined the course of the filtration curve. Next, we kept on loading and relieving the embankment crown using an actuator and a VSS plate with a diameter of 300 mm. During this process, we recorded changes in the level of the water table inside the embankment. A decrease in the water table was observed as a result of increased load. Once the load on the embankment crown was reduced, the water level inside the embankment increased. The embankment model built from natural soil works well as a structure that keeps damming water in a continuous manner. The use of drainage in the form of a stone prism at the foot of the landside slope allows protecting the slope against the negative influence of filtration (piping, liquefaction).

The Pakoski reservoir .was created in 1975 as a result of damming the lakes located within the Western Valley of the Noteć River. This reservoir operates in rearly cycles with water level fluctuations of up to 3.6 m. The researches carried off by the author in the years 1998-2003 indicate that the thirty-year exploitation period has not ended the intense reshaping phase of the shore zone of the reservoir. Both intensive shore abrasion and various accumulative forms support the above statement. These forms include the small ones of distinctively initial character, such as accumulative spurs or berms, as well as the complex ones whose shaping process has almost finished and the area of which exceeds a few hundred square metres. Due to constant lowering of the water level, accumulative forms occur within the entire width of the shore-platform which is being dried. In most cases these are whole groups of smaller forms related to one another. A beach can constitute a good example, as it predominantly combines a few, most often 5 to 6, adjoining beach ridges separated with small lagoons.
