Mgr. Antonín Vondrák, Mgr. Hana Sezimová, Ph.D. and Mgr. Martin Mucha, Ph.D. – 6/2020

The paper deals with the issue of pollution of river (bottom) sediments in the Odra river basin, which is located in one of the most anthropogenically polluted areas of the Czech Republic. The presented results are based on the evaluation of river sediments collected on eight selected profiles of water bodies belonging to the Odra river basin using a battery of five ecotoxicological tests including indicator organisms of different trophic levels.

Bottom level estimation of water management infrastructures from historic project documentations

Mgr. Martin Caletka and Mgr. Pavla Štěpánková, Ph.D. – 6/2017

Monitoring and maintenance of water management infrastructure require knowledge of their reference state characterizing their design parameters. The reference state is derived primarily from the available project documentation, which is appropriately chosen to be converted to a digital model of the bottom terrain.
