Evaluation of Changes in Water Regime Caused by Long-term Development of Vegetation Cover
Chlumecký, M. ; Tesař, Miroslav ; Buchtele, Josef
Long monitoring of air temperature and precipitation for three catchments with up to 100 years series has been used as the input for the modelling of rainfall-runoff process and for the re-assessments of the evapotranspiration demand (ET.sub.demand./sub.). The resulting oscillations and the random changes of vegetation cover have been pursued as the indication of fluctuations also in the evapotranspiration. The intention is to appraise this complicated time series as the long-term process. The modified implementation of the conceptual model SAC-SMA enables the quicker simulation and facilitates also the conditions for automatic calibration of parameters in the used model; separately for individual, i.e. partial time intervals, namely with the diverse expected evapotranspiration. That process is to be identified simultaneously with the optimal parameters of the mode; the resulting actual evapotranspiration (ET.sub.act./sub.) is then represented as the modelling outputs, as such values could be hardly gained as measured or computed values, e. g. from other meteo-observations.

Flash floods as theme for the summer periods in next decades
Buchtele, Josef ; Tesař, Miroslav ; Chlumecký, M. ; Fořtová, Magda
The variability of water regime in the annual cycle is influenced not only by the annual development of the vegetation cover, but also by its increases in the span of several decades. In the actual year it has been twelve years ago when the disastrous floods appeared in the Labe River, and more than fifteen years from destructive inundations in the Morava River basin, and so it is reasonable to remind those situations in the context with the recent flood. The modeling of rainfall-runoff process is the tool for the evaluation of the possible changes in the water regime in the mentioned landscape development.

Factors affecting the occurrence of aquatic macrophytes in the Lipno reservoir
KROLOVÁ, Monika
This RNDr. thesis focuses on the species composition and cover in the littoral of the Lipno Reservoir in 2006. Aquatic macrophytes are an essential component of littoral communities in lakes. Their reasonable development positively affects biodiversity and stability of the aquatic ecosystems and water quality. The aim of this study was to characterise the development of littoral macrophytes in Lipno Reservoir, an artificial lake with seasonal water level fluctuation, and highlight controlling factors for macrophyte occurrence. The development of macrophytes was examined at 114 segments of the shoreline, each 50 m long, situated along the whole reservoir perimeter in regular 1km distances. The segments were surveyed for phytocenology, shore morphology, pedological characteristics of substrate, and anthropogenic impact. The survey identified 53 macrophyte species (24 hydrophilic terrestrial, 17 emergent,1 floating-leaved, 2 free-floating, 4 submersed, and 5 amphibious). The average vegetation cover of the examined segments was 14 %, with approximately one third of the segments without any macrophytes and another third with vegetation cover less than 10 %. Macrophytes occurred only in the uppermost eulittoral zone down to the level of 75 % probability of water surface exceedance. On the basis of a correlation analysis, the major factors affecting macrophyte occurrence in the littoral zone were shore morphology, light conditions in water and erosion effect of waves that together with water level fluctuation caused loss of fine particles from and degradation of the substrate in the littoral zone.

Influence of the development of vegetation cover in the basin on the regime of surface water and groundwater resources
Buchtele, Josef ; Tesař, Miroslav
Variability of water regime is influenced usually not only by the changes of vegetation cover in the annual cycle, but also by the vegetation development in the span even of several decades. The resulting evapotranspiration requirement depends on actual climatic conditions; moreover the needs of soil moisture and the oscillation of solar radiation are also significant. The simulations of rainfall–runoff process have been used with the intention to follow the role of the developing vegetation cover and long-term climatic fluctuations. The differences between monitored and simulated runoff in the relatively long periods are the possible tool for the appraisal of changes in the water regime, which are influenced also by the changes of evapotranspiration need.
