Evaluation of the potential of bank infiltration at the Ivančice

About the project

Project background The confluence area of the Jihlava and Rokytná rivers is an important source of good quality drinking water for the Ivančice Union of Water Supply and Sewerage. At present, average abstraction is around 10 l/s; however, the theoretical potential for use is significantly higher. Despite a decrease in effective precipitation totals, this catchment […]

RESIBIL – Audit of water resources

About the project

Project background The processing of findings within models for soil water balancing is important for the quantitative capture of new groundwater formation and the creation of forecasts of new groundwater formation. In accordance with the aim of this project, by connecting the above model tools, it is possible to perform a methodologically comprehensive evaluation of […]

The Vranov reservoir

About the project

Project background The main motivation for the reconstruction of the control closures of the bottom outlets (BO) was mainly the current unsatisfactory technical condition of Johnson type caps on BO marked I and II and cylindrical closures on BO marked III and IV. More than 80 years have passed since their commissioning, during which time […]

RAINMAN – Integrated Heavy Rain Risk Management EN

About the project

Project background The issue of difficult-to-predict flash floods has not yet been addressed on a European scale. For this reason, six Central European countries decided to submit a joint project with the aim of sharing common experiences, solution methodologies and, at the same time, creating joint outputs in the form of a so-called Toolbox. Project […]

Support for long-term planning in artificial snowmaking

About the project

Project background It is often stated that water abstraction for artificial snowmaking has a significant impact on watercourses. Is that really so? What impact do these abstractions have and how can artificial snow affect watercourses and the hydrological balance of watercourses? These are just a few of the questions the project tried to answer. Project […]

Development of methods and devices for refining evaporation

About the project

Project background Both observed and expected impacts of climate change clearly show an increase in temperature, and not just in our country. From the hydrological balance point of view, this phenomenon is significant mainly due to the increase in evaporation, which negatively affects the availability of water resources. Project aims The project is focused on […]

Design of an effective monitoring, diagnostics, and maintenance procedure

About the project

Project background In terms of extreme weather events, and from the point of view of the sustainable use of water resources, it is important to keep surface water resources in such a state that they can fulfil their purposes during flood events and in times of drought. Section 59 of Act 254/2001 Coll. on Waters […]

The impact of small reservoirs on groundwater level

About the project

Project background How do small reservoirs affect their surroundings? Research should contribute to a comprehensive and quantitative assessment of the positive and negative aspects associated with the presence, operation, and construction of small reservoirs near settlements and in the agricultural landscape. Project aims The project assesses the impact of small reservoirs on the hydrological balance […]

Drought II – Monitoring

About the project

Project background The effects of drought are more pronounced in the context of climate change. The aim of the project is to help evaluate these impacts. Project aims The aim of the project is a comprehensive monitoring of semi-natural measures to eliminate the negative effects of drought in selected pilot areas so that it is […]

Drought II - HAMR

About the project

Project background In an increasing number of areas in the Czech Republic and around the world, water shortages and the occurrence of droughts are growing very quickly, which in some cases can reach the level of a natural disaster with massive impacts. In the case of drought, its frequency is increasing in some areas, including […]
