2 Abstract The thesis aims to point to the importance of the proxydata, in particular their significance for hydrology and water management. The historical hydrology, the subject of which the proxydata are, offers the whole range of techniques for extrapolation of the knowledge on hydrological phenomena into the relatively distant past. The thesis includes the review of the scientific literature targeted in particular to the processes and history of the records of hydrometeorological phenomena, the origin of the historical hydrology, its methodology and potentialities. The author's own work focuses on the application of the techniques already in use and apart from that it presents the very new methodological approaches. This includes the reconstruction of the culmination discharges using the combination of several techniques, the reconstruction of the hydrograms of the historical floods, etc. The main goal has been to reconstruct the time series of estimated peak discharges in Prague for the period of 1118-2002. This meant to reassume the former results published in the form of the chronologies of interpreted and verified documentary sources. These were completed by the corrected Klementinum records of the water levels. Recently localized epigraphic sources have been utilized and the analysis of the...
