The paper refers to the contemporary sensitivity of a ribbon flow-through lake to changeable meteorological conditions (precipitation, evaporation). We checked whether the lake morphology can affect the abrupt changes in hydrological conditions under which environmental changes occur. We analyzed changes in the level and extent of the water table in relation to morphological thresholds of a Charzykowskie Lake. Changes in the lake water level were disproportionate in relation to small changes in the volume of water involved in the exchange. During 55 years of observations, the lake water level did not exceed the threshold values of sensitivity to shortage or surplus stress.
