Instruction for flood warning signal service on the March River in Moravia and Lower Austria (to the 100-year anniversary of guidelines for provide flood alerts)
Munzar, Jan ; Ondráček, Stanislav
Since the threat of floods on our watercourses is of permanent character, the documentation of historical events and systematic records on their occurrence, impact and historical flood control measures they necessitated is still a topical task. Unlike in Bohemia, the service of flood alerts in Moravia was introduced as late as closely before Word War I according to a guideline issued in 1913 by Imperial and Royal Central Hydrographic Office in Vienna (in two separate versions – Czech and German). It concerned municipalities situated in Moravia and Lower Austria within inundation areas of Morava/March River and other large watercourses in its catchment – Bečva, Dyje, Svratka, Svitava and Jihlava Rivers. The guideline includes detailed instructions upon when and to whom rain-gauging and river-gauging stations should send warning about threatening floods.
