Determination of retention value using Mike She model in the area of young glacial catchments

Abstract

The aim of the paper is the identification of the kinds and conditions of retention occurring in the selected of young glacial catchment (the Potok Oliwski) in natural and anthropogenic conditions by means of the mathematic model of Mike She. As a result of the performed calculations it has been possible to determine that the studied area, thanks to the nature-shaped factors, has a high retention potential, which refers to the ground water storage. The conditions of surface retention, in which a great role is played by blind drainage, have been analysed as well.

Assessing the Performance of SHETRAN Simulating a Geologically Complex Catchment

“…MIKE SHE [31], a well-known hydrological code, has been used in a wide range of applications [2,12,16,29,32]. It was chosen to provide evaluation of the performance of SHETRAN for simulating the geologically complex study site.…”

“…Recent growing computational power and extensive surveying/monitoring capacity has ameliorated to a certain extent earlier limitations for a wider use of PBD codes. Nevertheless, the latest applications of this type of codes are mainly of research nature [7,[14][15][16] and are still being affected by substantial running times, which is limiting (i) the modelling resolution [14]; (ii) the physical/distributed representation of components of the hydrological cycle [7]; as well as (iii) a wider non-research use of these PBD codes. But it is not only significant running times that are preventing a wider use of this type of codes: expensive commercial-license costs, even at research rates, prevent users from applying these codes.…”
