The generation and occurrence of surface runoff from a slope is driven by many factors, such as the slope gradient, the physical properties and current state of the soil, the type and density of the vegetation cover, and the intensity and duration of rainfall events. Within the study experiments with a rainfall simulator were focused on an analysis of the impact of a changing slope gradient on the generation of surface runoff and the amount of eroded soil material. The experiments were conducted in laboratory cond...

An increasing frequency and magnitude of flash floods motivates water managers and other authorities to focus on enhancing flood protection of small headwater watersheds, which are especially vulnerable to this type of flooding. One of the ways how to achieve this goal is to increase the volume of existing small water reservoirs (SWR) dedicated to store flood wave. This paper investigates the possibilities of utilizing a SWR Vrbovce (west of Slovakia), which is currently being used for water supply and fishery, in...
