Retentive mechanisms in nature are the ones that regulate energy, and matter flows in a way they can became manageable for living. As life depends on water that reaches the land in the form of precipitation, appearing within different time and quantity intervals, the nature has been compelled to develop especially effective water retention mechanisms in forests - the most complex of living communities. The outflow is regulated by this mechanisms, so that permanent presence of water is assured in adequate quantities. The water is retained in the forest by the forest's integral structure. Its best water retention mechanism is being presented in soil itself. Water is partly drained away from forest soil as forest stream, without breaking the linkage between them. Forest and forest stream are therefore in coexistence and close interdependence that demand an integral treatment.
