Short summary
An evaluation of changes in the snow water equivalent (SWE) during the period of 1961- 2010 in the representative catchment of the mountainous regions in Central Slovakia is provided in this paper. Simulated values of the SWE by a conceptual semi-distributed rainfall-runoff model in different altitude zones were analysed. A decrease in the simulated data and the snow duration with significant decreasing trends in December, January and February were detected in the highest altitude zone.
