ABSTRACT

There were undertaken researches describing quantitative changes of water storage in wayside zone soils, as well as the differences in storage, caused in this zone by cut of water-bearing layers connected with the road excavations. It was assumpted, that studying the water storage in land profiles suitably situated in relation to road course, it is possible to establish the road draining effect. Near the same road three transverse sections were chosen, on each of them three land profiles. And in separate layers the moisture sensors were placed. The moisture, measured on improved conductometric method, was according to original methodology by Kucza and Suliński counted on water storage in profile layers dimension. Measurements were taken in Beskid Œlšski forests in vegetative period of 1999 year (27. III – 29. X) once a week. Separate measuring session with everyday observations lasted for eight days (7-14. VIII. 1999r). Researches were conducted in the same places, utilizing the same measur
