Selected issues in hydrology and hydrogeology of the Trebon Basin
Nymsa, Zdeněk ; Slavík, Martin (advisor) ; Nedvěd, Jakub (referee)
In the last few decades, the average temperatures in the Czech Republic have been increasing, which has led to increase in evapotranspiration. Previous studies have shown that increases in evapotranspiration during the summer months can lead to significant reductions in flows and even to drying up of small watercourses. Additionally, snow cover has also been on the decline in recent years, resulting in no flow enhancement in spring months and therefore lower soil moisture problems ensue. Due to the possible decrease in precipitation and/or increase in evapotranspiration, there is also the risk of less groundwater recharge in the future. The aim of my thesis is to verify the correlation between several selected parameters in the Trebon Basin, namely the relationship between evapotranspiration, precipitation and baseflow and groundwater levels in boreholes. A sub-objective is to verify the long- term evolution of these parameters in the Trebon Basin. Atmospheric precipitation and its variability during the year have not changed since the 1960s, while the magnitude of potential evapotranspiration has statistically significantly increased over this time and its variability during the year has decreased. The difference between atmospheric precipitation and potential evapotranspiration has been...

Mathematical model of groundwater flow affected by circulation wells
Nedvěd, Jakub ; Mls, Jiří (advisor) ; Ondovčin, Tomáš (referee)
In this thesis, I focused on numerical modelling of groundwater flow in the vicinity of groundwater circulation well (GCW). The thesis can be devided to two parts. In the first one, I created a simple numerical model of GCW. I used a cylindrical flow domain because of the radial symmetry of the problem. The task was to find out which parameters have the biggest influence on groundwater flow. It was found that the hydrogeological settings and hydraulic properties have more considerable effect on GW flow than the well construction parameters. Distance between the well screens is the only important construction parameter, other parameters can be neglected. However, we cannot neglect the influence of hydraulic properties of the porous medium. Considering the radius of influence of GCW, the presence of aquitards and anisotropy of layers affect the groundwater flow around the well seriously. These two parameters cause the extension of the radius of influence, which leads to a longer path of the particle of water. The travel time of particles increases too this slows down the remediation. A big influence has also an intensity of natural groundwater flow in the area because it decreases the radius of influence of the well. In the second part I created a numerical model of pilot site Velká Hleďsebe to investigate...

Extraordinary remedies in the civil procedure
Nedvěd, Jakub ; Smolík, Petr (advisor) ; Sedláček, Miroslav (referee)
Extraordinary remedies in the civil procedure Abstract This thesis deals with extraordinary remedies in the civil law system. First, the thesis provides a definition of each remedy system and a brief description of the main principles on which the remedy systems are built. Then, in chapters three to five, the thesis discusses the individual extraordinary remedies, with particular attention paid to the extraordinary appeal due to its privileged position among the remedies. The extraordinary appeal is followed by a discussion of the action for nullity and then the action for retrial. The positive legislation in Act No 99/1963 Coll., the Code of Civil Procedure, as amended, regulates the action for a declaration of annulment and the action for a retrial together in chapter four. Therefore, chapter five of this thesis deals in particular with the exceptions to the action for a retrial. Chapter six of this thesis aims to present the analogical institutes of extraordinary appeal in the German and Austrian legal systems, which is in particular the revision. In particular, the chapter discusses the conditions under which a given remedy is admissible and presents some specific institutes of the analogical legal systems. Chapter six concludes with a comparison of the frequency of pending appeal/review cases with the...

Importance and occurrence of chromium in hydrogeology
Sadloň, Matúš ; Nedvěd, Jakub (advisor) ; Šantrůček, Jaromír (referee)
in English Chromium, particularly its two most stable oxidation states - hexavalent and trivalent chromium - plays a very significant role in the environment. While trivalent chromium is an essential nutrient both for humans and plants, hexavalent chromium proved to be one of the most dangerous contaminants negatively affecting people and the environment on a wide- ranging scale. This thesis aims to provide a complex overview of chromium occurrence in various natural systems, its physical and chemical properties as well as its mobility in the environment. Furthermore, the thesis will describe two case studies (from Greece and India), which illustrate both the natural and anthropogenic sources of hexavalent chromium contamination. Due to its mutagenic and carcinogenic properties, a complex set of remediation methods was suggested for hexavalent chromium removal, including both in-situ and ex-situ ones. Given their proven record in successful elimination of hexavalent chromium contamination from groundwater, in-situ methods are being utilised far more frequently nowadays; these will be explained more comprehensively. The most notable categories of in- situ remediation methods include biological and chemical reduction, chemical precipitation and chemical sorption. Besides these, other promising...

Circulation wells and their mathematical modelling
Nedvěd, Jakub ; Mls, Jiří (advisor) ; Šantrůček, Jaromír (referee)
Groundwater is our priceless natural resource and it is our duty to protect it and to take care of its quality. That is the reason why several techniques of pollution removal have been developed; the Groundwater Circulation Well technique (GCW) is one of them. This system enables us to clean contaminated groundwater effectively and in-situ (it means that there is no need to extract groundwater to the surface). This thesis is aimed at collecting and presenting our actual knowledge of the most common GCW systems. In the first part of the thesis the basic kinds of the GCW are introduced and their principles are presented. The remediation mechanisms are further described with respect to the character of the particular contamination. The chemical and biological processes controlling the contaminant degradation are described. Several experiments that were carried out and monitored in order to study the efficiency of GCWs are presented. In the last part of the thesis the mathematical modelling of GCWs is introduced. The partial differential equations governing the processes of flow and mass transport in the well surrounding parts of aquifers are presented and the corresponding initial and boundary conditions are formulated. The obtained numerical results and conclusions of their comparison with measured data are...

The use of the lognormal distribution in analysing of earning
Nedvěd, Jakub ; Malá, Ivana (advisor) ; Bílková, Diana (referee)
Object of this thesis is to verify the possibility of use the lognormal distribution as a revenue-distribution model. This text describes characteristics of lognormal distribution and methods of estimating its parameters. Thesis is focused on three-parametric lognormal distribution, because it is most common in this dilemma. Using data from Informational system of average earnings this thesis finds out quality of models. There are described options of usage the lognormal distribution in analyzing revenues. At the end of this essay is suggested an easy analysis of differences between revenue-frequency distribution in the years 2000 and 2010. The thesis demonstrates the fact that the curve of lognormal distribution density function is applicable model which is reliable especially in the wide central part of revenue-distribution.
