The mouth of the southern stream

The mouth of the southern stream is today not very visible, but an important place on the hydrological map of Radom, where it ends with a completely channel watercourse, flowing into the Milky River in the old garden region , near the bridge at ul. Werner. This stream, despite the fact that for most of the city flows hidden underground in the collector system, plays an important role in the water management and the history of urbanization of Radom.

Southern stream is probably beginning around long -up upper , from where it heads west. It flows through the meadows behind today's shopping center at the Ustronie housing estate , where in places he still runs an open channel, acting as the discharge of the rainwater from built -up areas. It powers, among others Staw Szybiński and a pond on the western outskirts of the estate. Further, completely hidden underground, it flows through the city in channels built in the interwar period, including On the occasion of the construction of the weapon factory and the Planty housing estates .

Its meaning is revealed during the of the naval rains - then the stream, with limited capacity of the canals, becomes a serious threat to residents. He has flooded the tunnel on ul. Grzecznarowskiego , as well as Planty Park area , revealing problems with water management in densely built -up areas of the city.

Historically, the southern stream fed not only fish joints once located in the area of ​​today's hospital at ul. Tochterman , but also castle moat , being an important element of the urban water system. Today, his mouth to Mleczna is one of the few points, where the water from this watercourse still appears on the surface - reminding the existence of this hidden river , which for centuries was an integral part of the urban landscape, and today it works in the shadow of modern infrastructure.
