Hydrological Function of a Midlatitude Headwater Peatland
Original language description
Peatland represents quite signiicant phenomenon in the headstream areas of Czech rivers. Considering the fact that these areas are crucial for streamlow generation process, it is very important to study the mechanism of runof formation in a peatland and its hydrological function. Natural runof process is afected by man already by its birth, thus in headwaters where numerous procedures related to runof retardation and water retention increase in headstream areas could be realized. To understand and clarify the runof generation process and the efect of various physicogeographic factors on its dynamics, the detailed analyses were carried out in the Vltava River headwaters (sw. Czechia) in recent years. It was necessary to consider the evaluation of peatland retention capacity, its hydraulic communication with draining watercourses and of runof regime variability during various hydroclimatic conditions. The big atention was focused on indings of a runof dynamics dependence on the groundwater table in the peatland and of the runof chemistry and balance using isotopic hydrology methods. Natural tracers were applied at sprinkling plots to identify preferential low and runof formation at two opposite hillslopes in this peaty mountain headwater.
