Abstract
Maintaining the good condition of water reservoirs is always one of the main tasks of water management. This is especially vital when the reservoir serves as a water supply and/or a facility for recreational activities. No only what goes into the lake but also everything that is stored within the area needs to be considered. In a case of dam reservoirs, one of the important issues is the transport and storage of sediment. This paper focuses on the sediment which is characteristic of the Dobczyce Reservoir and considers situations which may potentially generate problems from the point of view of maintaining good condition of the water body.
