Abstract
This project focuses on a numerical model of water temperature in a water retention pond and on impact of discharged water on an adjacent stream. Numerical model of water retention pond is based on energy balance of thermal fluxes which affect water temperature in the pond. The developed model has been used to investigate pond dimensions, especially water surface area. Furthermore, an effect of a runoff water has been modelled. To investigate how organisms live in the stream are affected by discharged water from the pond, the model of the stream water temperature in the discharge point has been developed. Trout population has been chosen to represent a sensitive specious. This model of the stream is based on modelled water temperature in the pond, the volume of the discharge of the pond, a measured water temperature upstream and a flow in the stream before discharge point.
