Concept of stream restoration in urban area
Jonáš, Miroslav ; Matoušková, Milada (advisor) ; Šobr, Miroslav (referee)
This diploma thesis presents a restoration study of a small watercourse in the urban area, specifically the section of Bouřlivec - a tributary of the Bílina River, crossing the municipality of the village Lahošť. The restoration study was carried out as a part of the contract research of the Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague and Povodí Ohře, state enterprise. The final report of this research is part of the cited literature at the end of the qualification thesis. Among the main objectives of the study was the design of restoration concept that will primarily lead to: 1) improving the hydromorphological and ecological state of the stream, 2) increasing flood protection and 3) increasing recreational usability in close proximity to the watercourse. A total of 11 cross section profiles within a longitudinal profile with a length of approx. 454 m were geodetically measured using the total geodetic station. A modification of the new method of calculating the roughness of cross section profiles was proposed and for each profile the current and design maximum flow capacities were calculated. As part of the longitudinal profile, a mosaic of 4 variant solutions was designed, which alternate regularly within the section of interest. The grain size analysis of the river substrate was held in...
Assessment of river restoration effects based on hydromorphology
Šolc, Jakub ; Matoušková, Milada (advisor) ; Tichý, Vojtěch (referee)
In the field of river restorations, topics being currently discussed are assessing success and quantifying effects that river restoration measures should have. This bachelor thesis deals with an assessment of the river restoration effects based on the hydromorphology. Current knowledge in fields of hydromorphology and fluvial geomorphology are presented in the theoretical part of this thesis. Recent outcomes and methodical procedures that are used to evaluate the effects of river restoration measures are also included. A method was developed based on the theoretical part of this thesis and the method EcoRivHab in order to assess the restoration effects by selected parametres. The method was applied on the restored segment of Litovický stream in Hostivice town in the practical part. The results of the thesis showed what a significant impact the restoration had on Litovický stream (in average +33.74 %). The parameter maximum flow velocity showed the highest effect (+84.9 %). On contrary, the parameter structure of bank vegetation had the only negative effect (-1.8 %). Key words: streams, river restoration, restoration effect, hydromorphology, hydromorphological survey
