Changes of natural organic substances within hydrological extremes in headwater areas
Bejčková, Marie ; Matoušková, Milada (advisor) ; Vlček, Lukáš (referee)
Diploma thesis is focused on changes of natural organic matter within hydrological extremes in headwater areas of the upper Vydra. The increace in these concentrations and increased transport to surface waters negatively affect the environmental and social environment. The main aim of this work is to analyse the amount and variability of organic metter in relation to selected runoff events with clarification of these relationship. The change in the amount of concentrations and variability of Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) was evaluated with respect to the preconditioning of the catchment (over a period of 14 days) and the influence of hydroclimatic conditions during the episodes. The dependence of each variable on DOC concentrations was also examined. The dependence of parameters (water temperature, conductivity, flow rate, pH, Dissolved Oxygen, Dissolved Organic Carbon concentration) within the campaigns and the subsequent similarity of the profiles were also investigated. The data for this work were provided by the Department of Physical Geography and Geoecology, Faculty of Science, Charles University. The evaluating of relationship and processes was determined, for example, using Principal Component Analysis (PCA Analysis), hysteresis loop or Pearson's correlation coefficient. The greatest...

Changes of organic carbon in surface waters in headwater areas
Špringerová, Pavla ; Matoušková, Milada (advisor) ; Benešová, Libuše (referee)
Diploma thesis is focused on changes of organic carbon (OC) in surface waters in headwater areas. Thesis is in its theoretical part focused on the literature study of currently published research results of the issue. The important part is finding the possible causes of OC variability, especially landcover and soil environment. The practical part is devoted to research in experimental basins of KFGG, namely in the upper Vydra, Blanice and Rolava. The aim of this work is to clarify the relationships between organic matter concentrations and discharge rates regarding to hydrological extremes. Furthermore, the influence of river basin size and various landcover and variability of concentrations and relationship with other indicators of biogeochemism is studied. The relationship between OC and discharge rate is positive and in most river basins strong or very strong. The weakest relationship was monitored on the profiles with the highest proportion of peatlands in the river basin. In these catchments, the highest average concentrations of OC were determined in autumn, in catchments with the lower proportion of peatlands it is in summer. Analysis of rainfall-runoff events confirmed the positive relationship of OC and discharge. The lag time of the maximum OC concentration beyond the maximum discharge...
