Is the historical land use arrangement the key to lower flood risk and better water quality?
Original language description
In recent years, the global trend is to improve the water quality and also to reduce the risk of flood events. In this study, we aimed to assess the role of the historic landscape arrangement in terms of land use. Generally, the best measure against flooding and to improve water quality is considered high proportion of stable culture such as forests and grasslands. In the past, however, especially in the areas at higher altitudes were used as arable land for the cultivation of traditional crops such ascereals. The objective of this study was to compare by the means of hydrological modelling in SWAT model (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) the reactions of selected watershed to changes in the structure of land use. Thus, responses were examined in termsof catchment flows and concentrations of nitrate anions as the dominant ion of agricultural pollution. The results of the study show that the reaction of the catchment is not based just on the land use but rather on the layout of the indi
