The proposed concept of building storage reservoirs in mountainous Podkarpacie area will decidedly influence flood situation of this region and will decrease the extent of losses caused by the arising of landslides. A suitable geological structure allows for cheap construction of reservoirs. Dislocations and fault fissures are filled with weathering materials because of their mineralogical structure, i.e., swelling minerals cause self-sealing of the bottom. A lack of water-bearing layers eliminates uncontrolled outlet of water to the ground.
