Abstract

AbstractA number of hydrological studies focus on identifying and examining the main processes in the catchment area that shape water conditions in the basin. Every change in the environment affects the processes controlling the outflow from the basin. It is thus very difficult to distinguish the driving forces responsible for changing the processes. Previous studies have shown the problem to be complex and not fully explained. Many environmental factors (natural and anthropogenic) are responsible for changes in catchment hydrology. To detect changes in catchment response and to identify the source of changes, it is necessary to apply a number of methods which explain different aspects of the changes. This chapter outlines the contributions of the Water Resources Department (at present, the Department of Hydrology and Hydrodynamics), Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences, to research in the field of widely appreciated environmental changes (i.e., climate, land use and water management changes) with respect to catchment hydrology.KeywordsHydrologyEnvironmental studyClimate changeEarth sciences
