Measurement of Stream Flow Rate Using Salt Dilution Method
Burdych, Marek ; Ondovčin, Tomáš (advisor) ; Slavík, Martin (referee)
Tracer dilution method for measuring flow rate in surface streams is the main topic of the bachelor's thesis. The first part contains a summary of the most important flow measuring techniques for surface streams, including current meter, float method, FlowTracker, ADCP, volumetric method, and computing techniques based on channel cross-section data. Large part is dedicated to tracer dilution method. The findings of field measurements of flow made on the Lo- děnice River using the salt dilution approach are detailed in the second section. Five conductometers were used to measure the water conductivity at three di- fferent sites. Conductometry was performed simultaneously in two different distances from injection site. Throughout the experiment, a sixth conductome- ter recorded the background conductivity value as a standard. The predicted flow values are compared to those acquired from nearby hyd- rometric station of the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (CHMI) and from observations made using Flowtracker. Diferences in measured flow rate were interpreted as tracer losses. These losses were estimated. Keywords: hydrology, surface water, water stream, tracer dilution, conducti- vity, tracer
Comparison of precipitation and discharges in relation to nitrate concentrations in the Jenínský stream catchment.
VRZÁK, Zbyněk
This work deals with comparison of precipitation and discharges in relation to nitrate concentrations in the Jenínský stream. The locality is situated on the east of town Vyšší Brod in the southern part of Bohemia. Since the 80`s this small catchment is research area and in the year 2004 The Faculty of Agriculture has continued in this research in Jenínský stream catchment. The backgrounds for this work are data of hydrological year 2006 which are gained from continuous measuring and scanning in small catchment Jenín. There is a recurrency to generalize the precipitation impact which induce changes of discharges on the closing device in small catchment.
Surface and ground water of the Libický floodplain forest
Bašta Spinali, Izabela ; Weiss, Tomáš (advisor) ; Slavík, Martin (referee)
In the Quaternary, the area of the Libický floodplain forest was shaped mostly by the action of the Elbe river. The river generated a structure of oxbow lakes, pools, wetlands, floodplain forests or wet grasslands. These are connected by shallow groundwater of the Quaternary aquifer. During the Upper Cretaceous period, the area of Libický forest was flooded by the sea, which resulted in the formation of the bedrock of Libický forest - now the Cenomanian aquifer of the Poděbrady mineral spring structure. This aquifer is part of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin. This thesis provides an overview about the waters in the area of the Libický forest, especially about: the development of the structures of surface water during the last ~2k years, groundwater of the quaternary aquifer and mineral water of the Poděbrady mineral spring structure. Finally, this thesis contextualizes this knowledge into climatic, geological, pedologic and also to ecological conditions of the area of Libický luh which is an important ecosystem in terms of biodiversity in otherwise relatively densely populated agricultural landscape. Key words: Libický luh, surface water, hydrology, Elbe, groundwater, hydrogeology, Cenomanian aquifer, Bohemian Cretaceous Basin, Poděbrady mineral spring structure, floodplain forest
UAV photogrammetry as tool for evaluation of fluvio-morphological changes of streams
Lörinc, Michal ; Langhammer, Jakub (advisor) ; Hartvich, Filip (referee)
This thesis is focused on a use of a technology that is relatively new and popular in geoscience applications, including the fluvial dynamics research. Unmanned aerial vehicles are becoming widely used in numerous geographical subdisciplines due to their capabilities and advantages of UAV imaging in comparison with other remote sensing techniques. These advantages and also limitations together with general characterization of UAVs are summarized in the secondchapter of the thesis. The following theoretical chapters deal with basics of UAV photogrammetry and also evaluate the potential of UAV imaging in fluvial geomorphology. The fifth chapter of the thesis comprises a case study that evaluates the use of an UAV equipped with a non-metric camera for fluvial environment reconstruction. Images of Javoří potok have been processed in Agisoft PhotoScan and ArcGIS to indicate geomorphological changes of the stream channel that happened during a 5 month period from November 2014 to April 2015. Keywords: UAV; photogrammetry; fluvial geomorphology; hydrology; channel
Analysis and modelling the changes of water quality in the Olšava river basin.
Kaiglová, Jana ; Langhammer, Jakub (advisor) ; Kliment, Zdeněk (referee)
The main goal of the thesis is to create an accurate model of the current state of water quality modelling in the river basin. The basin of the Olšava River, as found in the bachelor thesis "Analysis of Water Quality in the Basin", is polluted with large concentrations of total phosphorus PTot. The master thesis analyses sources of nutrients in the basin that is mainly listed in the vulnerable areas indentified under the Nitrates Directive 91/676/EEC, on the protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources. For the water resources management and environmental policy is crucial to recognize distribution of pollution sources throughout main categories. The thesis is concerned with the seasonal variability of the average mass concentrations along the river channel. Broadly used mathematical modelling software of water quality is discussed in the sense of reliability, availability and user interface. Last but not least is a suggestion of two improvements of the water quality based on the MIKE Basin modelling software. The main aim of these proposals is to be realistic in the economical and environmental sense. Proposals consider both in point and non-point sources. Key words: Mathematical modelling, MIKE Basin, Water Quality, Water Quality models, Hydrology, Olšava
Hydrology of Amateur cave and sinking streams focused on tracer tests
Gregorová, Anita ; Bruthans, Jiří (advisor) ; Vojtěchová, Anna (referee)
This study briefly summarizes methodology of tracer studies in karst areas (the way how they were carried out and their evaluation). Second part of the study specifies geological, hydrogeological and hydrological situation of the area of interest - northern part of the Moravian Karst, surroundings of Sloup - using available literature on that topic. Description of the area was completed with field measurements done by the author. Their results can be used as a basis for possible future surveys.
Aral Sea
Chupík, Jan ; Hrkal, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Datel, Josef (referee)
In the introducion of this seminar paper author deals with former natural conditions of Aral lake. It focuses on climatic conditions, morphology, hydrology and local land use situation.Because the region of Central Asia has been historically wedged between the three empires, it is also appropriate to describe closer the historical and political development of the region. The focus of the thesis is to analyze the causes of hydrological changes, when the desertification of Aral Lake has a catastrophic impact on the ecosystem and human society in the region. The return of Aral Lake to the situation sixty years ago is, unfortunately, unrealistic, but various remedial measures are being implemented to improve the situation as much as possible. The goal is to make the most of the situation. This is also done through various international projects. Therefore, the vision of the future development of the region around Aral Lake is outlined. There are also similar cases in the world, most notably the Dead Sea. The work concluded that at least some hope for recovery unfortunately only has the northern part of Aral's lake, while the southern part is probably lost forever.
