Disastrous winter flood in Czech lands and Central Europe in 1862 (at its 150th anniversary)
Munzar, Jan ; Ondráček, Stanislav ; Hrádek, Mojmír
In 2012, we commemorate anniversaries of several important floods – not only more recent disasters but also some older historic cases. One of overwhelming natural calamities of the 19th century was the winter flood from 1862 since which already 150 years have elapsed. It affected not only Czech lands but also Germany and Austria. Until today, it is the second heaviest flood (after the flood disaster in March 1845) for the period of assessing Labe/Elbe River discharge values in Děčín. A rather surprising fact is that the flood in August 2002 was lower there than the two mentioned events and in terms of culmination discharge ranks only at the third place. This paper aims at reminding the hydrological extreme of Central-European scale and to document it with preserved data and information.
