Changes in snowfall fraction in cold season and their impact on spring runoff in selected mountain catchments
Blšťák, Adam ; Jeníček, Michal (advisor) ; Juras, Roman (referee)
The precipitation falling as rain or snow has different impact on regional water resources and their annual distribution. Shift from solid to liquid form of precipitation following the increase of the surface air temperatures could be important because such change could influence the timing of spring runoff and cause water scarcity in summer. In this study, the spatial and temporal variations of ratio of snowfall to total precipitation (Sf), mean air temperature, day of year of melt-out and winter and spring runoff is analysed. Data were examined for 11 meteorological and 6 hydrological stations in the mountains catchment in Czechia for November-April 1965-2014. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Kendall trend test. Major results show that Sf has been decreasing strongly throughout the whole examined area, with the strongest decrease in the foothill area of the northern mountains of Czechia. Stronger decrease is observed in lower elevations, at the stations with meant air temperature close to melt temperature. Strongest decrease was observed in March and the weakest decrease was observed in December and April, The significant decreases in Sf are associated with large increase in mean winter air temperatures. Due to the increasing mean air temperature in the cold season, the total rainfall is...
Analysis of nutrients concentrations in waters and their transport from selected catchment
JIRKOVSKÁ, Veronika
The aim of this study was to analyze the presence of the trend of long-term time series of concentrations and losses of nutrients and their descriptions. The concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus compounds were evaluated. The analysis was performed on selected catchment of large, medium and small areas. All observed catchment are located in the basin of dam Švihov. Trends were tested using non parametric methods - Mann-Kendall test, Seasonal Mann-Kendall test and Kendall's correlation coefficient . In this study there are generally described monitored cycles of nutrients, nitrogen and phosphorous. There are also characterized the factors, which effect leaching of these nutrients to water (from the catchment). The paper also outlines the progression of water quality in the Czech Republic, which was influenced by political and economic changes in Europe in the second half of the 20th century.
