Abstract: This article presents the influence of climatic conditions on the fluvial system and reclamation in the last 200 years. The research has been conducted in proglacial valleys in Middle Poland. These valleys are extremely important element of the lowland landscape. Between the 18th and 19th century valley floors were paludified and formed by multichannel river system. That river system was connected with periods of higher rain-fall, related to the Little Ice Age. Such natural conditions were troublesome for the economy which is why it was undertaken to regulate the river and reclamation in the first half of the 19 th century. The reclamation was conducted in two stages of the 20th century (1928–1932 and 1961–1974). The operation was realized in wet periods and after major floods.
