In the last decade, there have been many destructive floods in various parts of Slovakia. Despite the extensive investment in flood control works, there are only small changes and neither flood occurrences nor damages are decreasing. A possible consequence of climate change is an increased frequency of extreme meteorological events that may cause floods. The determination of the occurrence of these extreme hydrological phenomena in a particular catchment is directly subject to the input data in dependence on climatic and geomorphological processes. This article deals with the method of comparing the retention capacity of the polder by means of geographic information systems (GIS) compared to the results from map data and design of flood wave diagram for the river of Banský Stream. This proposal is part of the flood protection of the area of Čergov Mountain in eastern Slovakia where is designed the system of polders.
