Bases and historical context of the planning process in the field of water
Water planning is a systematic conceptual activity which implements the requirements of the Water Framework Directive.
Informatics, cartography in water management
Pond systems in selected regions
Ponds are an important and organic part of the landscape in the Czech Republic through ages. They are spread over most of the area of the republic and have different functions besides the one which is historically the most important – fish farming.
Agriculture bare soil surface evaluation using stereophotogrammetry
The article deals with the development of agriculture bare soil surface using the stereophotogrammetric method. It describes and compares the development of selected soil characteristics investigated on four types of field cultivation.
Analysis of changes in runoff for Czech Republic
One part of the project “Strategy for protection against negative impacts of floods and erosion phenomena by naturefriendly measures in the Czech Republic“ was assessment of actual runoff conditions in the Czech Republic by runoff curve number method.
Presentation portal “Voda v krajině” as a source of information on natural water retention measures
Article introduces presentation portal “Voda v krajině“ (www.vodavkrajine.cz) as an information source about natural water retention measures.
Future water needs in public water supply sector
In this article results of analysis of future water withdrawals from water resources for public water supply systems are summarized.
Reliability assessment of levees based on failure investigations
Summary Flood risk of levee protected areas stems from the possibility of levee failure due to overtopping, breaching or uncontrolled seepage. In most cases, levee breaching leads to highest damages as such events occur suddenly and can hardly be forecasted. In this article, levee failure is referred to levee breaching only. Whenever levees break during… Read more »
The National Spatial Data Infrastructure and the Reflection on the expected Role of Cartography and GIS Products provided by the T. G. Masaryk Water Research Institute, p.r.i.

Masaryk Water Research Institute, p.r.i., with the Czech Office for Surveying, Mapping and Cadastre and the Czech Hydro-meteorological Institute.
The accuracy of flood extent simulation by an alternative tool – AIZM
The estimation of the extent of inundations is enabled by methods of physical and mathematical modelling which have been developing for many years. Increasing accuracy, related to precise measurements, demands higher computing capacity and more time.
