Abstract

This study aims to identify and establish the long-term fluctuation of the low flow in the Hornád River. Hydrological data of five stations was obtained from the Slovak Hydro-Meteorological Institute and used for the analysis aims to show the trends of low flow and variability of the outflow during the period from 1973 to 2020. To determine low water levels, the limit value of the flow corresponding to the 70% and 90% from the flow duration curve along with the higher ones, determined on the basis of daily values for the entire multiannual period, was used. The observed patterns of low-flow changes on the example of a mountain river can be a reference point for many different studies and model simulations for other rivers in Slovakia.
