Abstract: This paper presents the problem disturbances in the natural relations between the temperature of water in the Ropa river (Polish Carpathians) and the air temperature, occurring in longitudinal profile of the river, caused by the functioning of the Klimkówka reservoir. Occurred disturbances in the water temperature – air temperature relations are the result of the transformation of natural thermal regime of the Ropa river below the Klimkówka reservoir resulting from forming a thermal stratification inside the reservoir during a year. The paper drew attention to the role of reservoirs in interrupting the thermal continuum of rivers. The results demonstrate the need to consider the impact of reservoirs on the thermals of the rivers in the study of relations between water temperature in the river and the air temperature, used to predict the potential impact of climate change on river ecosystems.
