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.

Floods – a natural phenomenon that would always shake to surprise
 Munzar, Jan ; Ondráček, Stanislav
In the last twenty years, disastrous floods occurring in the Czech Republic affected smaller or larger areas (three extreme events occurred in 2010 alone). A particularly great surprise was the flood disaster in the summer of 1997, which caught a greater part of the population unprepared because several generations had not experienced a similar hydrological extreme – the historic memory of floods had been lost. In the past, people living along large rivers took into account the usual and often annually occurring natural phenomenon. However, the relation of today’s inhabitants in riverine landscapes and of the whole society to rivers and phenomena occurring on them changed during the 20th century. This is why the awareness of floods should be constantly restored, which is the aim of this work. The paper reminds and documents several disastrous floods, today already forgotten, occurring on Moravian or Bohemian rivers from the 16th century until the present and their impacts.
