Hydromorphological survey as a basis for restoration measures of streams in urban areas
Jonáš, Miroslav ; Matoušková, Milada (advisor) ; Šobr, Miroslav (referee)
This thesis deals with hydromorphological survey using the HEM methodology (Langhammer, Hartvich 2014) and its application to the backbone streams of the Bouřlivec catchment. The aim is to determine the extent of anthropogenic modifications on these streams and their subsequent classification according to the corresponding classes of hydromorphological quality. In summary, 28,107 km of watercourses were mapped by field monitoring, which were divided into 101 morphologically unique sections. Each section was assigned a hydromorphological quality class according to the calculated hydromorphological status. In only 4,28 % of these sections, a state close to nature was stated. The remaining 95,72 % of sections show signs of anthropogenic modifications, which are evident especially in sections intersecting urban areas of towns and municipalities. The highest rate of anthropogenic modifications was identified in a total of 1,02 % of sections, which were assigned the worst class of hydromorphological quality. The sections that can be assessed as significantly modified make up to 18,24 % of the mapped area and the moderately modified sections cover 29,57 % of the area of interest. The final comparison of the two investigated streams clearly shows that the Loučenský brook significantly exceeds Bouřlivec,...

Hydromorphological survey as a basis for restoration measures. Case study of the Rakovnik Brook catchment.
Maroušková, Kateřina ; Matoušková, Milada (advisor) ; Šípek, Václav (referee)
This thesis deals with use of hydromorphological assessment methods and the application of the Hydroecological monitoring HEM (Langhammer, 2007, 2013) method in the model basin of lower part of Rakovnický potok stream. This thesis presents results of the terrain survey and based on this results, the parts with poor ecomorphological conditions should be identified and restoration measures should be suggested to improve the hydromorphological quality and physical habitat of Rakovnický potok stream. This stream represents both almost natural parts of the catchment in Křivoklátsko Landscape Protected Area as well as parts which are influenced by human activities, especially by the agriculture and the industry. Due to the results of applied terrain survey and literature research, it was suggested to apply complex restoration in the whole area of Rakovnický potok basin immediately.
