Włocławek Reservoir.
Due to the significant amount of organic matter in the tank (approx. 11.5% of the dry weight of sediment), it emits approx. 400 mg of methane per area of 1 m2 (which is approx. 27% of the total amount of gases emitted from the sediment of average 3114 ml m−2 d−1). For this reason, is considered an important source of greenhouse gases emission.[2]
Functions
The tank has three basic functions:
- Retention - during floods, water on the Vistula River reservoir retains a large part of the floodwaters;
- Energy - on the dam is Wloclawek hydroelectric power plant;
- Tourism - Lake Wloclawski developed following tourist centers: Zarzeczewo, Wistka Kings, Soczewka, Murzynowo.
Flood protection
Wloclawek reservoir tank is essentially instantaneous. From approx. 2004. In the event of high water levels acts as a storage reservoir.[3]
Flood 2010
On 17 May at the dam in Wloclawek thrown water (3,000 m³/s), preparing for the arrival of the flood wave. 22 May inflow was 6,000 m³/s, a snapshot already amounted to 5700 m³/s.
Flood 2014
During the flood Vistula May 22, 2014 r. To Włocławski Reservoir affect 4900 m³/s, the discharge was at that time 4300 m³/s. As a result, they managed to flatten the wave of flood and reduce the risk of flooding in the lower section of the Vistula.[3]
