Surface water: landscape functions and their integration into spatial planning
Journal: Physical Geography and Geomorphology
Year: 2025

The landscape, as an integrated natural-territorial system, significantly influences the characteristics of surface waters, including their regime, chemical composition, degree of mineralization, and the intensity of matter and energy exchange. In the context of spatial planning, the study of surface waters must account for both their impact on the structure, properties, and functioning of specific landscape complexes, and the reciprocal influence of those landscapes on surface water dynamics.
