Abstract
The Białka River flows in the Tatra Mountains region in South Poland. The turn of spring and summer 2010 in Poland was characterized by extremely heavy rainfall which led to two major floods affecting the territory of the whole country. Geodetic measurements of the bankfull channel and measurements of bed material granulation were carried out. Measurements of morphological changes in a mountain river Białka performed on 12–14 May 2010 turned out to be made immediately before the flood. Inventory measurements conducted afterwards, i.e., on 1–2 July 2010, illustrated the river activity during the flood. The measurements were compared to the results of modeling performed with the use of the two-dimensional CCHE2D computer model. It makes it possible to compute water flows in open channels as well as the transportations. The model of bedload movement for the Białka River was based on the Wu, Wang, and Jia equation. The amount of transported bedload in the model was compared to the MPM formula, calibrated for mountain rivers.
