Water on the maps of our country from 16.-17. century
Hlaváčková, Vanda ; Čábelka, Miroslav (advisor) ; Bayer, Tomáš (referee)
The goal of this bachelor's thesis is to perform a content analysis of the management of old map works and then, based on the results of the analysis, to design and create a web map application for the presentation of the results. In the beginning of the thesis, important terms related to the topic are introduced, followed by the methodology of content analysis of old maps. Individual old maps are also presented, namely Klaudyán's map of Bohemia from 1518, Criginger's map of Bohemia from 1568 and Aretin's map of Bohemia from 1619, including a brief biography of their authors. Based on the information obtained from the previous chapters, the content analysis itself was carried out. Its results are discussed in the discussion of the work. As part of the practical part, based on content analysis, a web map application was designed and created, showing the guidance of old maps in vector form over current map documents. Insights and information resulting from the analysis are also included. Keywords: old map, map analysis, Klaudyan map, Criginger map, Aretin map, ArcGIS Online
The analysis of river network evolution in Ethiopian Highland
Maca, Vít ; Vilímek, Vít (advisor) ; Kliment, Zdeněk (referee)
Ethiopian highlands is one of the most various tectonic areas in the world. It lies in close proximity to Ethiopian rift system in areas with volcanic landscape. As the main factors involved in development of river networks have been identified: volcanism, tectonics, erosion. The most important factor is the erosion, that work pays closer. Using the methods of remote sensing, GIS analysis and documenting the longitudinal and transverse river profiles were surveyed area of differentiation in the types of river networks, deep of river valleys, geological strata, etc. GIS and remote sensing analysis provided more supporting data. Crucial is the analysis of the longitudinal profiles. Five rivers was profiled: Guder, Muger, Jemma, Birr, Blue Nile. Knickpoints in profiles were identified and were divided into three types according to the majority factor involved in the formation: Active uplift entire Ethiopian highlands which activizate river erosion, active uplift smaller areas, lithological. Crucial for next outputs are knickpoints linked to active uplift entire Ethiopian Highland. Lokalization of thats, were profiles divided into subprofiles, representing phasis of erosion development of entire area. During the past 31 million years, were identified 3 phases with increasing incision rates. Furthermore,...
Optimization of digital river network and its impact on catchment water management
Hošek, Zdeněk ; Matoušková, Milada (advisor) ; Šípek, Václav (referee)
Digital river network dataset is an important source of information in any aspect of water management decision making. It is also a base for modelling or scientific research in many different fields. Development of the dataset in the Czech Republic had been fragmented in a past and as a result three different datasets have been developed that cover the whole of the state's territory. The datasets contain different geometries, different and often conflicting attributes and serve different purposes. Today the time has come that water management decision makers have realised that the situation is no longer sustainable and make effort to merge the datasets into one. The task brings in several technical issues and a potential for severe legal consequences. The aim of this study is to develop a methodological approach to merging the existing datasets into one. This methodological approach to decision which of the conflicting or different attributes should be adopted is based on assumption that the existing datasets will be merged into one consisting the best of all. Comparison of features in the existing dataset will inevitably lead to many conflicts when it will be necessary to decide which of the considered features should be adopted to the resulting dataset. The study considers the main purposes which...
Assessment of anthropogenic modification of the river network using hydromorphological survey as an example of the upper Metuje River
Kavalír, Václav ; Matoušková, Milada (advisor) ; Kujanová, Kateřina (referee)
Human modifications and related pressure on watercourses of its ecosystem became greatly discussed problematic in the latest dry years. The translated bachelor's thesis deals with these encroachments on watercourses as well as with its impact on hydromorphological quality. In recherché there are discussed basic hydromorphological knowledge and modifications of watercourses with its negative and positive effects on the watercourse along with its surrounding. For the evaluation of the hydromorphological condition was used HEM methodology (Langhammer 2014) applied on upper course of the Metuje River. Overall, based on the outcome of the HEM methodology the upper stream of the Metuje River is evaluated as a weakly modified. Less disturbed sections can be found in the area of the National Nature Reserve Adršpašsko-Teplické skály. The largest modifications can be seen in the build-up areas of Teplice nad Metují, where these modifications come particularly from the period of the First Republic. The area of the floodplain, is the most affected area. Trace of the rivercourse was overall shorted by 1 569 meters, therefore 7,5 % since mid-19th century, chiefly in the surrounding of Teplice nad Metují. The greatest concentration of diverse modifications is in the build-up zones. Key Words: Hydromorphology,...

Differences in morphology of the valleys in the Jizerské hory Mts.
Hložek, Martin ; Engel, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Hartvich, Filip (referee)
This Master thesis focuses on a river network characteristics in the Jizerské hory Mts., northern Bohemia. This part of the Czech Republic represents an area, which was during Tertiary and Pleistocene affected by neotectonic movements. Therefore, 30 longitudinal profiles of selected rivers were constructed to determine areas influenced by tectonics most intensively. These profiles were classified into four categories according to shape of profile curve. Also valley cross sections were made on five selected rivers. Additionally, the Jizera and Jizerka rivers were studied to assess changes of their streams in the period of 19382012. On the north-western (the Jeřice river catchment) and northern (the Smědá river catchment) slopes of the Jizerské hory Mts., areas most affected by neotectonic movements were detected. Tectonically controlled valley cross sections are distinctive on the Smědá, Jizera and Kwisa rivers. On the Jizerka and Jizera rivers, lateral erosion rate ranges up to 0,5 m/year.
