 Czech Republic
 WATER 2005 – Prague Tests Out Its Flood Control Facilities
All the flood control facilities that Prague has constructed since the catastrophic floods of 2002, have been erected and tested in July 2005 in real time and life conditions.  [more...]



 Flood Risk
Structured approach to surface runoff estimation and forecasting flood risk system   [more...]



 Hydraulics of Overflowing Bridges
It was shown during extreme floods which distressed the CR at the end of the 90’s that in many cases a poor hydraulic performance of bridges attributed as a significant factor to overflowing of watercourses and so to increasing flood damages   [more...]



 Hydrographs
Field surveying and measurements during flood event in August 2002.   [more...]



 How to Evaluate the Extremity of Flood?
Historical records of Prague flood date back to 10th century, but there are no absolute figures available  [more...]



 Hydrological Model
Application of the hydrological forecasting models by the Czech Hydrological Institute during the flood in August 2002  [more...]



 Extreme Flood Situations
Mathematical models of flood passage through the country can help both in the prevention (flood forecasting systems, antiflood measures) and in the operative (evacuation planning, solving of critical situations, evaluation of flood measures)  [more...]



 River Flood Regime
Contribution of hydraulic research to the cognition of the river flood regime. Models of river training schemes can be used for verification of hydraulic models. They can help to estimate the flood regime of rivers, critical flood water levels or catastrophic flood discharges and may serve to classify the n-year flood  [more...]



 Extreme Flood in August 2002
 Probable Maximum Flood
The dam security criteria are becoming stricter all over the world, and the international ICOLD committee has been closely monitoring the situation  [more...]



 Extreme Precipitation
With a total precipitation amount of 202 mm, August 2002 was the wettest month reported in the CR since 1875, when official measuring began, with 5 days in which the daily precipitation exceeded 150 mm in at least one of the measuring stations (the same number of days was recorded in July 1997, also leading to disastrous floods in Moravia).   [more...]



 Flood Prevention - Historical Development
The catastrophic floods that occurred in the CR since 1997 originated the urgent necessity of improvement of the flood protection measures after about 100 hundred year period without severe flood situations  [more...]



 2002: Was Prague Really Stricken by 500-year Floods?
The era of disastrous floods on the Vltava river seemed to have come to an end in the 1950s, after the construction of a system of dams on the river, with the capacity to hold particularly spring floods caused by melting snows. However, later researches revealed that the Vltava cascade would prove its positive effects up to the level of 10-year or even 20-year floods.   [more...]



 Solidarity Fund: EUR 129 Million transferred to the Czech Republic
Michel Barnier, Commissioner for regional policy, and Bohuslav Sobotka, the Czech Minister of Finance, have signed an agreement involving € 129 million in assistance for the regions affected by the floods last August.  [more...]



 Biocide Application in a Cooling Circuit
The need to solve the issue of advance growth origination and of ensuing pipe-work corrosion in the cooling circuits of the nuclear power plant of Dukovany (EDU) has prompted the search and verification of a biocidic agent which would be appropriate and friendly to the water medium.   [more...]



 Prediction Bounds of Flood Frequency Curve
 Complex Flood Protection
Complex flood protection measures in the catchment area of the Trebovka river.   [more...]



 Flood Control Projects
Strategy of flood protection and its implementation in the Czech Republic.   [more...]
