Changes in the Shape of the River-Bed over a Period of Time at the Base of the Vistula River before Cracow

Abstract
Flowing waters, especially big rivers, influence their entire environment. Yet, for surveyors the most important are these changes caused by rivers, through changes in their beds, which can alternate cadastral data. The discussed problems result directly from both the damaging and constructive features of rivers and also from Water Law and other regulations which provide the fonundation for establishing grounds and building registers. This paper contains partly a comparison between former situation presented on archive maps and concerning sections of the Vistula River, west of Cracow and the contemporary situation. The purpose of this comparison is to draw the reader’s attention to the important problem of updating cadastral maps, made in surrounding of accumulative-erosion activity of river, is.
