Water Politics
Dvořáková, Dana ; Vojtěchovský, Miloš (referee) ; Sterec, Pavel (advisor)
The work is aimed at familiarizing the audience with the problems of water in the Czech Republic and its distribution within the landscape. However, its character, which approaches to documentary work, doesn´t explicitly describe the problem, but rather attempts to visualize it and give the viewer space for his own imagination. The work draws in contrast the examples of fine functional interventions in the landscape with examples of monstrous concrete structures - dams. It points to problematic places and tries to convey to the viewer the current issue not only in the chosen location. The main thing is the lyrical performance, which evokes not only a video but also the sound part and the narrative that explains the whole problem. The video is not purely informative, its specificity is also focused on the enjoyment of the viewer. He plays with documentary techniques but does not use them as a priority. The shots are deliberately chosen so that the concrete buildings look monumental and have their seriousness. The background of the shots also shows the time of their creation. This element is supposed to be critical and is supposed to be opposed to studies that use old plans to build new water reservoirs that do not give space for a more efficient solution. The work also touches on the overproduction and issues of today's modern agriculture.

The effect of barriers on riverine fish communities
Kofentová, Nikola ; Horká, Petra (advisor) ; Čech, Martin (referee)
The construction of river obstacles is considered one of the major threat to freshwater ecosystems worldwide, with a greater impact upon riverine fish than any other human activity. River obstacles, especially dams and weirs, affect the natural environment in streams and rivers, causing changes in physical, chemical and biological processes and disrupting connectivity of rivers via alternating series of lotic and lentic reaches. The effect of obstacles is further magnified by associated habitat alterations like are channelization, flow regulation, fortification and deepening of a riverbed. Orga- nisms and especially fish that live in rivers are highly sensitive to these changes, which affects them at the level of individuals, species and the whole populations. The most pronounced is the barrier-effect to upstream and downstream migration and loss of habitats. Diadromous and rheophilic species of fish are the most sensitive ones as they have complex migration strategies and habitat requirements. Fish are further affected by obstacles via many other mechanisms, such as the effect on reproduction success, growth and development, changes in the composition and trophic structure of communities and restricted response to further environmental constraints including water pollution or predicted climate...

Jsou možné coasovské dohody mezi správou povodí a záplavovými územími?
Karas, David
Karas, D. Are possible coasean agreements between river basin administrator and floodplains territories? Bachelor thesis. Brno: Mendel University, 2015. Bachelor thesis deals with the problem of scarcity. To solve this problem will be introduced coasean agreements, Pigouvian tax, change in real estate prices and building lands due to the floods, interest groups, the choice between energy pro-duction and flood control function on the Vltavská kaskáda and opportunity cost.
