The Bachelor's thesis focuses on the examination of drought as an extreme and complex phenomenon. It provides a clear overview of its types, causes, and impacts on the landscape and society. Furthermore, it discusses the response of surface and groundwater to dry periods. The theoretical conclusion specifically analyzes the period of hydrological drought in the Czech Republic between 2015 and 2018. In the practical part, the characteristics of monthly and annual discharges are evaluated, and the response of surface and groundwater is assessed using data. Data from both surface and groundwater, as well as precipitation totals from the ČHMÚ (Czech Hydrometeorological Institute) observation network, were utilized. Average precipitation totals were also taken into account. The evaluation of time series was performed in terms of precipitation-runoff regime, including exceedance lines and monthly flow distributions. The results indicated that the lowest average flows were recorded in 2018, which also saw the lowest average groundwater level. Conversely, the highest number of dry days occurred in the studied period in 2015. Keywords: surface water, groundwater, hydrological drought, the upper Lužnice river
