ABSTRACT



The paper presents the results of an attempt to establish a typology of small water reservoirs in the left-bank Warsaw area. The typology was worked out on basis of data about 278 water reservoirs, collected in GIS database with utilisation cartographical and photointerpretation methods and it was obtained using the cluster analysis. The cluster analysis made it possible to distinguish 16 representative types, each being marked by a large internal homogeneity of the considered five features: water mirror surface area, position in relation to the Varsovian Escarpment, stability of the water supply, naturalness of the water supply, transformation of the closest surroundings.

Key words: typology, water reservoirs, ponds, cluster analysis.
