Abstract: The present contribution describes a sophisticated local warning system (LWS) for detection of local flash floods that is built in the Krkonoše Mts. in the upper of the Úpa river with the closing profile at Horní Maršov (573–1602 m a.s.l., 81.70 km2). This system is based on the new knowledge of the discontinuous character of water transport in an unsaturated zone and involves: (i) instrumentation: (1) stream gauge monitoring stations with data transfer to the internet, (2) monitoring stations (equipped by rain gauge, air and soil thermometers, soil water tensiometers and soil moisture meters) with data transfer to the internet, (ii) software: (1) the internal software of the stream gauge and monitoring stations for the measurement, storage and transfer the data to the dispatching centre, (2) software of a central data repository, (3) software for data transmission in the internet browser, (3) software for the forecasting of flood risk and sending flood alert, (iii) dispatching centre: (1) operating of the data repository, (2) forecasting of the water level for the each of connected stream gauge station, (3) sending flood alert, (iv) handbooks and user’s Guides: (1) hydrological and soil surveying, (2) LWS design, (3) operation and maintenance of the LWS, (v) complete projection documentation of the LWS, (vi) installation of the LWS in a catchment, (vii) testing and routine operation of the LWS. The described LWS is supported by the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic (Project TA02021451).
