The influences of forests on the water resources are complex and diverse because they depend on climate, soil condition and human activities. The evapotranspiration capacity of closed-forests is higher than of the other vegetation formations. For broad-leaved and conifer stands, the differences in water consumption are less marked than it was suspected before. Despite recent progress numerous uncertainties remain in respect of the hydric functions of forest stands and catchment areas
