Abstract: The main goal of this research was to compare characteristics of low flows that occur in mountain catchment of Wisłoka river and upland catchment of upper Wieprz river. The analysis was conducted on daily flow data for hydrological years 1983-2013. Low flows were determined by PUT method, with two threshold levels: Q70% and Q90%, with 7 day minimal duration time criterion and 3 day pooling method. In mountain Wisłoka river greater number of episodes, with shorter duration time and higher volume of deficits was observed. Correlations between duration time and deficit volume were similar in both areas: around 0,9. This relation was decreasing in the southern catchments, with highest elevations, where also prolongation of low flows duration and higher deficits were observed.
