Flash floods in the Czech lands on examples from the 16th – 21st centuries
Munzar, Jan ; Ondráček, Stanislav
An often discussed and still topical question is whether the frequency of the occurrence of flash floods has been increasing in the last decennia or the impression results only from the increased interest (and improved technical possibilities) of media and wide public in these extreme hydro-meteorological phenomena. There are many floods of this type that can be documented from the past, which occurred before the hydro-meteorological measurements. Although they did not affect vast areas, they usually represented (similarly as today) crushing disasters for the hit territories. The contribution brings examples of such extremes from the end of the 16th century to the beginning of the 21st century, which went down in the flood history of the affected areas.
