Assessment of time course of water and air temperature in the locality of the Turček reservoir during its operation in the period 2005–2019

Rok, strany: 2021, 304 - 312

In the future, during the ongoing climate change, water reservoirs will play an important role in the provision of raw water for the subsequent production of drinking water for the inhabitants of Slovakia. The Turček water reservoir is the fifth largest water reservoir in Slovakia with a total volume of 9.9 mil. m3, which is used for the production of drinking water for the towns Prievidza, Žiar nad Hronom, Handlová and a connection to the water mains of the Žarnovica district is also planned. The paper deals with the trend analysis of water and air temperatures data for a selected period of time (2005–2019). We used the non-parametric Mann-Kendall test, which is one of the most widely used nonparametric tests to detect significant trends over time. The results of this test answer the question if there existed a significant trend for mentioned temperatures in this locality or not. Analysis confirmed that it is not possible to determine a significant trend at the significance level of 5%. Anyway, value of annual air temperature increased by 0.57°C during the study period 2005–2019.
