Abstract
Estimation and economic valuation of the forest retention capacities Based on results concerning the forest impact on water cycling an attempt was undertaken to evaluate water retention in forests. The economic value of water retention was established assuming the cost of water storage in small reservoirs built in forest areas. Calculations did not account for differences resulting from different functions of naturally retained water and that stored with the use of technical methods. Considering volume and time of water retention in forests, the annual value of natural water retention in forests calculated per average hectare of the country area was estimated at 800 zł.
