Stochastic Flood Forecasting System

This chapter presents an analysis of land cover and its changes in the
Middle River Vistula catchment over the period 1990–2012. The river reach is
situated between hydrological gauging stations at Zawichost and at Port Praski
(Warsaw). Comprehensive information on land cover and land cover change is a
crucial step in understanding and modelling hydrological processes. The land
cover and land cover change were derived from the CORINE Land Cover (CLC)
inventories. The land cover classes (level 3) were aggregated from the point of
view of hydrological processes and anthropogenic impacts into five classes: urban,
agricultural, meadow, forest, open spaces and surface water. The analysis of land
cover changes was conducted for the entire Middle River Vistula catchment and
for the 10 tributaries and 11 adjacent areas. The results indicate that most of the
changes (≈−25 %) displayed belong to agricultural areas. Human impacts are
mostly noted in the forested areas, bushes, meadows and urban areas.
