Development of surface water quality in selected rural areas of the Elbe River basin
Mrkva, Luboš ; Janský, Bohumír (advisor) ; Pechar, Libor (referee) ; Kodeš, Vít (referee)
Development of surface water quality in selected rural areas of the Elbe River basin Water quality is an enduring issue in water management and has global importance. This work deals with surface water quality in the Elbe River basin, focusing on river basins in agricultural and rural areas where surface water quality remains a significant ecological problem. As part of this work, two watersheds with a significant representation of agriculturally used areas were chosen: the Mastník River catchment, which flows into the Vltava River, and the Šlapanka River catchment, which flows into the Sázava River. In the case of the Mastník stream, the work deals with the basin itself and changes in water quality in the Mastník bay, which is part of the Slapy reservoir located on the Vltava River. Water quality was analysed using the concentration of selected parameters through long-term field research supplemented with data from the State Enterprise of the Vltava River basin. In this part, it was proved that constructing new wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) gradually improves the overall water quality. However, the parameter chlorophyll-α and the lack of dissolved oxygen remain problematic. The finding of high concentrations of chlorophyll in the stream is followed by an assessment of the changes in water quality in...

Water quality analysis in the Mastník catchment area
Mrkva, Luboš ; Janský, Bohumír (advisor) ; Chalupová, Dagmar (referee)
The quality of surface water in the Czech Republic has changed distinctly in two last decades. The pollution of important rivers has been reduced radically. Small rivers in agricultural areas, however, remain problematic. There is a long-term absence of information about such rivers concerning the purity of water. Mastník, which flows through the agricultural area of Central Bohemian Uplands and as a right-hand side tributary flow into the Vltava River, is one of those rivers. Quality circumstances in catchment area were analysed on the basis of data about the concentration of selected indicators, which come from three monitored profiles of the State public enterprise Povodí Vltavy. The present state of surface water quality was specified by means of ČSN 75 7221. Further, the development of quality was observed since 1995 and the reliance of the concentration on the flow or the season of the year was rated. All the data, which were acquired about anthropogenic and natural pollution of the river, are very important for precautions, which lead towards the improvement of quality of water in rivers. It was discovered that the precautions, which are made in catchment area lead to the improvement of the quality of water in Mastník. If the present state should be retained, the remediation of waste water must be...

Muddy floods phenomenon
Beranová, Lucie ; Kliment, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Mrkva, Luboš (referee)
Muddy floods phenomenon Department: Department of Physical Geography and Geoecology, Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague Supervisor: doc. RNDr. Zdeněk Kliment, CSc. Abstract: Muddy floods represent a movement of accumulated material from agriculture areas during floods trigerred by heavy rainfall (with intensity that exceed 30 mm/hour). Areas where moody flows occur are typical with steep slopes, loess, thalweg cultivation and growing crops with erosion dangerous. The most intense moody floods occur particularly in central Belgium, France, Netherlands and Slovakia. The moody floods are caused by growing suburbanization, enlarging area of farmland, tamping during agricultural mechanization or transformation grassed areas into cultivated land. Great attention should be paid to measures against erosion because water erosion with heavy rainfalls increase amount of accumulated material, what amplify negative impact of moody flows. The most suitable solution is combination of agrotechnological, technical and organizational measures. The negative consequences of moody floods are e.g. soil degradation, flooding up nutrients, carrying topsoil or transportation of accumulated material into populated area, where high economical and emotional damage may be inflicted. It is necesery to take floods triggered...

Water quality in the Mastnik catchment area and its influence on Slapy reservoir
Mrkva, Luboš ; Janský, Bohumír (advisor) ; Benešová, Libuše (referee)
Water quality in the Mastnik catchment area and it`s influence on Slapy reservoir Abstract Despite major investments in remediation of waste water and reduction of fertilizers the quality of surface water on small rivers in agricultural and rural regions of the Czech Republic is still very low. Among the problematic rivers is also the river Mastník. This river runs through agricultural area of the Central Bohemian Uplands and as a right-hand side tributary it flows into the Vltava river, in particular to Slapy reservoir. According to the data of concentration of indicators coming from monitored profiles of the State public enterprise Povodí Vltavy which were completed by our own monitoring profile the quality of water has been analyzed. Furthermore, the effect of Mastník on the water quality in Slapy reservoir has been evaluated. It was discovered that the steps that are being taken, mainly construction of sewage treatment plants, are leading to gradual improvement of quality of the surface water. Nowadays the final quality of water is influenced by growing concentration of chlorophyll. This growth is caused by warmer waters and that leads to higher eutrofisation of rivers in the catchment area. The most significant eutrofisation is showing in the creek of Mastník where it's affected by Slapy reservoir. In...
