Abstract
The aim of the presented research is to assess the storage capacity and the groundwater runoff dynamics in the High Bieszczady Mountain (SE Poland, Outer Eastern Carpathians) on the basis of measurements in three gauging stations within San river catchment. The study is based on recession curve analyses in the period 2005-2015.Recession coefficient (α) and storage capacity (Wmax) were calculated for each recession segment. Furthermore, for each gauging station master recession curves were constructed. Recession coefficients were about 10-2. All studied catchments were characterized by higher median of α and Wmax values in the winter half-year, than in the summer half-year. The master recession curves obtained in this study showed two-phase drainage model. During the first phase (higher α values) water resources were depleting faster, probably due to affecting of base flow by part of interflow, than in the second phase (lower α values). The largest catchments (San gauge in Zatwarnica and Dwernik) showed similar median values of storage capacity (Me: 14-21 mm), whereas the smallest Wołosaty catchment showed higher median values (Me: 20-32 mm). The higher values might be caused by higher average annual precipitation and the more complex geological condition, what might locally influence on the storage capacity increase.
