abstract: The paper presents the results of an attempt to determine the level of influence of infiltrational ditches (installed on antierosive terraces) on the water balance of chosen slope. The studies were based on an existing anti-erosion system located in a fruit farm of the “Euro-East” company in Olszanka near Krasniczyn (Poland). The system described is an original, new solution the effectiveness of which has not been tested yet. The main software used during the research was 2-D FEFLOW program based on the finite element method. Numerical simulations were preceded by paramerization of soil water permeability, and soil types, soil moisture and meteorological conditions monitoring were the basis for numerical calculations. The presented studies constituted a part of project No. 1564/T09/2001/21 of The State Committee for Scientific Research.
