%X Making use of the cartographic-geomorphological method, a case study of the hydrographic confluence at Sielpia made it possible to identify changes in the river and hydrographic networks connected with the development and decline of the Old Polish Industrial District, whose functioning relied on the use of hydropower in iron metallurgy. The formation and disappearance of artificial industrial reservoirs and canals, the drainage networks, and the appearance of catastrophic flash floods as a result of failures of hydrotechnical structures have been reflected in cartographic materials, land relief, and sediments.
