Possibilities for water recreation in the capital city of Prague (past and present)

From 2018 to 2020, a survey was carried out of potential opportunities for the expansion of places for swimming and water recreation in the capital city of Prague. From about 150 places, 57 were selected where the water quality was monitored and their condition and potential were evaluated. To assess the water quality of these sites, in cooperation with the NIPH and as an alternative to Decree 238/2011 Coll., “Indicative assessment of the current state of natural bathing areas” was designed and used for evaluation (satisfactory and satisfactory with reservation – water suitable for bathing; unsatisfactory – water unsuitable for bathing).


All information obtained during the project was entered into the “database” type output. The importance of this type of output is digital storage and long-term availability of a comprehensive set of collected information in a clear tabular form.


The public database, prepared within the study “Possibilities of water recreation in the capital city of Prague (past and present)” within the project “Prague – Pole of Growth II”, 2018-2020, can be downloaded here.
