Extreme runoffs from the Modrý důl basin in the vegetation season
Šír, Miloslav ; Tesař, Miroslav ; Dvořák, Igor
The main objective of the present article is to advance understanding of the complex role of various vegetation cover in extreme runoff formation in the Modrý potok basin. This watershed (1010–1554 m a.s.l., 2.62 km2) is situated in the northern part of the Czech Republic in the eastern part of the Krkonoše Mts. The soil types are the mountainous Podzole and Lithosol with a thin humic layer on crystalline bedrock. Monitoring stations with data transfer to the internet are installed on several localities differing in the type of vegetation cover (in the grassland and dwarf pine above the forest margin, in the growth of mature spruce forest, and in the grassland below the spruce forest). The discharge at the closing profile is continuously recorded. Meteorological data are collected at a station close to the Výrovka chalet (1360 m a.s.l.): year-round precipitation, solar radiation, wind speed and direction, air and soil temperatures and soil moisture. The long-term monitoring of the water balance of the headwater catchment Modrý potok and its soil water regime was evaluated taking into account the discontinuous character of water transport in an unsaturated zone. Extreme runoffs in a vegetation season are caused by these factors: (1) oversaturation of the soil profile, (2) water repellency of the soil surface, (3) gravitationally destabilized flow of water in the soil profile, (4) extreme rainfall. The typical combinations are (1) and (3) – gravitationally destabilized flow of water can be caused even by a small rainfall under the oversaturation, (2) and (4) – long-term drought can cause the water repellency of the soil surface and the extreme rainfall. The research is supported by the Czech Science Foundation (205/09/1918) and by the Technology Agency of CR (TA02021451).

Using remotely sensed NDVI for drought impact assessment within selected crops
Hlavinka, Petr ; Trnka, Miroslav ; Semerádová, Daniela ; Dobrovolný, P. ; Balek, J. ; Možný, M. ; Štěpánek, P. ; Hayes, M. ; Svoboda, M. ; Wardlow, B. ; Žalud, Zdeněk
The relationship between Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and selected agrometeorological parameters (yields of selected crops, water balance) was investigated. The source for NDVI was Spectroradiometer MODIS within satellite Terra and it was available for grids in resolution 500 x 500 m from 2000 to 2010. The analysis was conducted within 12 grids spread through Southern and Central Moravian region. The information about cultivated crops (including spring barley, winter wheat, maize for grains, sugar beet and winter rape) were collected from the farmers and water balance simulated using SoilClim model.

Direct run-off - formation and separation methods
NEUBAUEROVÁ, Andrea
The bachelor´s thesis occupies with an issue of a direct flow. The main purpose is the explanation of the basic terms of the issue and the explanation of the sorting of particular parts of a direct flow, that involves a surface saturated flow and a hypodermic flow. Subsequently the thesis describes its participation in the hydrogeological cycle, which means the participation in the permanent circulation of a surface and underground water on Earth. The extreme precipitations are dangerous due to their force, total sum and intensity. The inception of hydrological occurrences like floods or dry seasons is possible owing to this. The fallen precipitations have a big influence on a surface flow and a transportation of soil particles. The thesis is focused on the inception and the genesis of a direct flow. Further it focuses on the factors that influence the flow. Among these factors belong climatic and anthrophogenic conditions, vegetation, type of soil and atmospheric precipitations. There are clarified selected methods of potential separation which are explained and described in detail. This part of the issue mentions CN curve method, GROUNG method, MPGM, analysis of dropped subdivisions and finally method of digital filter (Chapman). These methods divides the flow on an elemental flow and direct flow.

Evapotranspiration of selected agricultural and forest species
Kučera, J. ; Urban, J. ; Trnka, Miroslav ; Fischer, Milan ; Krofta, K. ; Duffková, R.
The aim of this article is a comparison of evapotranspiration (ET) of different covers (turf grass, clover (Trifolium pratense), winter wheat (Triticum aestivum), hops (Humulus lupulus) and the high density poplar stand (J-105, Populus nigra x Populus Maximowiczii)) with the potential evapotranspiration (PET) and the general description the ET rates dynamic during the season. The second goal is to quantify the ratio of the transpiration and the whole evapotranspiration for the two contrasting cultures – the hops and poplars stand. The daily maximal sum of the grass ET reached, similarly like for the other species, up to 5–6 mm per day, which comprises 85–93 % of PET. Significantly higher ET was showed by the culture of clover. On the other hand, the lowest values were performed by the poplar stand in the first year after coppicing. The transpiration to evapotranspiration ratio resulted in 40–70 % by the hops and 80–90 % in case of the poplars.

Water balance in short rotation poplar coppice and reference grass-plot in conditions of Czech-Moravian Highlands
Orság, Matěj ; Fischer, Milan ; Trnka, Miroslav ; Hlavinka, Petr ; Kučera, J. ; Balek, J. ; Žalud, Zdeněk
This text presents results of a study focusing on differences of water balance between two contrasting cultures - short rotation poplar coppice and grass plot in conditions of Czech-Moravian Highlands. Actual evapotranspiration (by Bowen ratio energy balance method), precipitation and soil moisture in two layers (0 – 0.45 m and 0.45 – 0.90 m) were measured on both plots during seasons 2008 – 2010. The seasonal water lost through evapotranspiration was higher for the grass (560.4 and 508 mm for grass and 523.8 and 351.8 mm for poplar during growing season 2009 and 2010 respectively), but generally the observed amounts of ETa are comparable for both cultures and within the range of values described in literature. Results of soil moisture measurements expressed as soil water availability [mm] were compared with simulations obtained from water balance model SoilClim. The model a little bit underestimated the amount of available water in the system, since based on water balance closure we suggest that there is a higher water income than was recorded from precipitation. This extra water found in observed systems may be supplied probably by lateral underground water inflow from the upper fields.

Methods of the separation of the base flow and trends of nitrogen concentrations in this base flow
MAIEROVÁ, Monika
This Bachelor thesis is aimed to clarify the hydrological cycle, hydrological balance, groundwater hydrology, the selected basic baseflow separation methods of comparing them and last but not least, nitrogen cycle, nitrogen, nitrates, ammonia nitrogen and nitrogen in groundwater. In the work there is also closely analyzed the total, surface and subsurface outflow and the detailed division. The methods of the groundwater baseflow separation are described with regard to content of nitrogen compounds., which currently create the most common type of pollution of groundwater used as drinking sources.
