Relevance for the Overall Model - GLOWA-ELBE II sub-project Surface Water Availability: investigation of changes in the water availability in the whole Elbe River Basin under global change scenarios - Czech Republic covers one third of the Elbe River Basin roughly - Inflow to Germany at different locations: • Main stream of river Labe => Decin / Labe • Sub-basin of the river Mulde => downstream reservoir Prisecnice / Prisecnice => downstream reservoir Flaje / Flajsk potok - Effects of climate change and reservoir management in the Czech Republic will in all probability have an influence on inflow to Germany GLOWA-Elbe II Statuskonferenz 14. Dez. 2006 Potsdam Hagen Koch et al., BTU Cottbus 3. Input Data and Information Basis for Data and Information “Agreement of co-operation” between GLOWA-ELBE II and the Czech River Basin Authorities Data and information delivered: • reservoirs to be included in the model (name, location, controllable storage, active storage, water surface area, etc.) => reservoirs with capacity equal or larger than 1 mill. m3 • water users, i.e. withdrawals and discharges (name, location, reference number of permit, monthly or yearly values for the last years, etc.) => quantity equal or larger than 0.01 m3/s • management of water resources facilities - e.g. water transfers between river reaches or reservoirs (name, location of intake and of orifice, capacity, etc.) GLOWA-Elbe II Statuskonferenz 14.

Dez. 2006 Potsdam Hagen Koch et al., BTU Cottbus 6. Conclusion and Outlook Conclusions: • Climate change will affect water availability in the Czech part of the Elbe River Basin • Affects will be different at different locations and within seasons (e.g. rising streamflows during winter and falling streamflows during summer and autumn) • Streamflows during low flow episodes will fall generally • Drinking water provision from reservoirs is sector most affected, for other water users water can be provided with high safety • Under extreme dry conditions the water level in some reservoirs will fall significantly while other reservoirs are unaffected • Adapted/changed management of reservoirs might compensate for some of the effects of climate change Outlook: • Analysis of results in consultation of Povodis (e.g.

    FLOOD DAMAGE SURVEY REPORT eVENT™ July 12th 2013 2013 Elbe and Danube Floods in Germany, Austria and Central and Eastern Europe Willis’ post-event field damage survey report As the flood wave travelled down from the headwaters of Rivers Elbe and Danube, members of the Willis Flood Team spent five days in the field surveying water depths and damages caused by the floods across the affected region. In addition, the teams assessed the effectiveness of flood defences along the banks of rivers in Germany, Austria, and Czech Republic. This report summarizes the findings from this damage survey, including the use of mobile technology, and details the development of the Willis Flood Footprint. Overview In June 2013, much of southern and eastern Germany, northern Austria and western Czech Republic were affected by significant flooding caused by prolonged heavy rainfall over the region. In many areas, these were the largest floods since the devastating Elbe and Danube floods of 2002 and in some locations along the Danube, Saale and lower Elbe, the floods were the worst in recorded history. As the flood wave travelled down Rivers Elbe and Danube, representatives of Willis and the Willis Research Network (WRN) spent five days in the field surveying the affected regions. The main objectives of the damage survey were to: a) survey flood depths and extents, b) assess the damage caused by the floods to individual properties, and c) assess the effectiveness of the flood defences throughout the region. Despite road closures and the remaining flood waters, the survey teams were able to visit a number of affected locations in Bavaria in Germany, Lower Austria, and Prague and surroundings in Czech Republic.

Executive Summary This report examines Disaster Risk Management (DRM) strategies of European countries with the aims of understanding how decisions are taken in the selection and design of DRM options at different scales, to examine how climate change, and its associated uncertainty, is or could be integrated into DRM strategies, and to draw lessons for decisions related to adaptation to climate change in Europe in general.

  • Estimated Contribution of Selected Non-Point Pollution Sources to the Phosphorus and Nitrogen Loads in Water Bodies of the Vltava River Basin
    Original Paper Soil & Water Res., 11, 2016 (3): 196−204 doi: 10.17221/15/2015-SWR Estimated Contribution of Selected Non-point Pollution Sources to the Phosphorus and Nitrogen Loads in Water Bodies of the Vltava River Basin Pavel ROSENDORF, Petr VYSKOČ, Hana PRCHALOVÁ and Daniel FIALA Department of Protection of Aquatic Ecosystems, T.G. Masaryk Water Research Institute, Prague, Czech Republic Abstract Rosendorf P., Vyskoč P., Prchalová H., Fiala D. (2016): Estimated contribution of selected non-point pollution sources to the phosphorus and nitrogen loads in water bodies of the Vltava river basin. Soil & Water Res., 11: 196−204. Eutrophication of inland waters by phosphorus as well as loads of coastal and marine waters by nitrogen is a major problem that impedes water bodies to meet the status defined by the Water Framework Directive. In order to reduce the nutrient load on the aquatic environment, first the significance of various pollution types should be thoroughly analyzed. The analysis of phosphorus runoff from agricultural land under normal rainfall-runoff conditions, and of nitrogen runoff associated with the application of manure on farmland shows their different impact on water body status in the Vltava river basin. The assessment of phosphorus indicates that annual specific phosphorus runoff ranges from 0.1 to 9.98 kg/km2 and in the sub-basins of the Upper Vltava, Berounka, and Lower Vltava, the average values from all water bodies reach 4.08, 2.92, and 4.02 kg/km2, respectively. Compared with the allowable capacity of water bodies for achieving a good status, the average rate of phosphorus input on the load of water bodies comes within 20%, with a maximum value slightly exceeding 50%.
