The characteristics of the catchment area, including its location, geological, soil and weather conditions is presented in the paper. Water resources of catchment and the groundwater depths are also described. The paper presents an inventory of existing small retention facilities in the analyzed catchment. Possibilities of water retention on the basis of the characteristics of the described area and after carefully reading the basic forms of retention is presented in the paper. Diagrams of practical use objects and conditions for water retention are described. Morphological structure of the Jeziorka catchment and analysis of source materials and topographic maps have found that the best form of water retention for this catchment is retention of riverbeds and river valleys. ...
