The Plan is a part of the planning process in the field of water policy as a continuous and conceptual activity guaranteed by the State, which has been introduced into Czech law in compli- ance with the requirements of the transposition of the European Communities’ acquis communautaire, in particular, but without limita- tion, Directive No 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2000 establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy (hereinafter referred to as “Directive No 2000/60/EC“). This first Plan of Main River Basins of the Czech Republic constitu- example, absence of water management plans would have made tes a long-term concept in the field of water policy, covering a six- it impossible to build fish pond systems in Pardubice region and in year period from 2007 to 2012.

  • Report on the State of Water Management in the Czech Republic in 2007“, Briefly Entitled As the „Blue Report“
    By December 2007 Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic Draft introduction Dear readers, you have in your hands the eleventh edition of the „Report on the State of Water Management in the Czech Republic in 2007“, briefly entitled as the „Blue Report“. This publication is a summary informational material which brings a complex information on the state of our waters and information on all water-management services which take care of water sources and their use by in- habitants and national economy. The flood situations in previous ten years made the public concentrate on flood-protection measures and recti- fication of flood damage, which is the reason you get a detailed information on projects and financial resources in this field. In 2007 next stages of programmes aimed at intensification of flood-protection measures in competence of Ministry of Agriculture started. Between the years 2007 – 2012 they will enable the implementation of events on watercourses, reservoirs, fishponds and in landscape in the amount of app. CZK 15 billion. Thanks to the support within the programmes of Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of the Environment there has also been a significant progress in the construction of sewerage systems and waste water treatment plants. As a result of this there has been a rise in the proportion of inhabitants connected to these systems, which exceeded 80 %. Over 95 % of the amount of discharged waste water is treated, which of course helps to improve the quality of water in our watercourses, as illustrated in the maps of cleaniness of water in comparison with the years 1990 – 2007.

  • Předběžný Přehled Významných Problémů Nakládání S Vodami Zjištěných V Části Mezinárodní Oblasti Povodí Dunaje Na Území České Republiky
    Předběžný přehled významných problémů nakládání s vodami zjištěných v části mezinárodní oblasti povodí Dunaje na území České republiky zpracovaný podle ustanovení § 25 zákona č. 254/2001 Sb., o vodách a o změně některých zákonů (vodní zákon), ve znění pozdějších předpisů, pro období 2021–2027 Vážení spoluobčané, materiál, který se Vám nyní dostává do rukou, představuje jeden z klíčových výstupů přípravných prací zpracování plánů povodí pro třetí etapu procesu plánování v oblasti vod pro roky 2021 až 2027. Právě tento proces, který implementuje požadavky Rámcové směrnice o vodách (Směrnice Evropského parlamentu a Rady 2000/60/ES ze dne 23. října 2000, kterou se stanoví rámec pro činnost Společenství v oblasti vodní politiky), má zajistit, aby podzemní i povrchové vody dosáhly dobrého stavu nejpozději do roku 2027. Hlavním nástrojem k dosažení tohoto cíle jsou plány povodí, respektive jimi navržená opatření. Příprava druhé etapy plánování v oblasti vod vyvrcholila v závěru roku 2015 schválením 3 národních plánů povodí vládou České republiky, respektive v polovině roku 2016, kdy bylo 10 plánů dílčích povodí schváleno zastupitelstvy příslušných krajů. Tímto zároveň započalo období realizace opatření, která byla v těchto plánech navržena. Do roku 2021 je nutno připravit plány povodí pro navazující třetí etapu. V rámci této přípravy probíhá přezkoumávání a aktualizace současně platných druhých plánů povodí. A právě předběžný přehled významných problémů nakládání s vodami představuje rámec zadání pro tyto plány, neboť identifikuje problémy, jimž se má příslušný plán povodí přednostně věnovat a jaká opatření pro dosažení cílů má tento plán navrhovat. Tento přehled zároveň představuje povinně zveřejňovaný výstup přípravných prací a umožňuje tak aktivní zapojení veřejnosti i uživatelů vody do procesu plánování v oblasti vod.

The case study of this work is the bearded fireworm Hermodice carunculata, a charismatic species spreading from the southern Mediterranean probably in relation to global warming. To achieve research objectives, some emerging technologies (mainly social platforms) were combined with web ecological knowledge (i.e., data, pictures and videos about the target species published on the WWW for non-scientific purposes) and questionnaires, in order to invite people to collect ecological data on the amphinomid worm from the Adriatic Sea and to interact with involved people. In order to address future fruitful citizen science campaigns, strengths and weakness of each used method were illustrated; for example, the importance of informing and thanking involved people by customizing interactions with citizens was highlighted. Moreover, a decisive boost in people engagement may be obtained through sharing the information about citizen science project in online newspapers. Finally, the work provides novel scientific information on the polychete’s distribution, the northernmost occurrence record of H.

  • A LANDSCAPE-ECOLOGICAL STUDY Abstract 1. Introduction 2. Methodology
    BRNO AND ITS SURROUNDINGS: A LANDSCAPE-ECOLOGICAL STUDY Jaromír Demek, Marek Havlí ček, Peter Mackov čin, Tereza Stránská Silva Tarouca Research Institute for Landscape and Ornamental Gardening (VÚKOZ) Pr ůhonice, Department of Landscape Ecology Brno, Lidická 25/27, 602 00 Brno, Czech Republic, email:[email protected], [email protected], [email protected] , [email protected] Abstract Authors used historical maps from the period 1760 to 2005 for the study of spatial development of the city of Brno and its surroundings (Czech Republic). The City of Brno is the second largest urban agglomeration in the Czech Republic. Historical topographic maps are very useful source of information for the landscape-ecological studies of such urbanized and rural landscapes. Digital processing of maps in GIS milieu enables a high-quality assessment of changes occurring in the landscape. An interesting result of the study is the fact that in spite of the location of the region under study within the hinterland of the city of Brno, 60% of the territory shows stability in the monitored time interval. Multiple land use changes were observed on the peripheries of the urban agglomeration. Less stable are also floodplain landscapes. Key words : city of Brno, urban landscapes, impact of the city development on landscapes in its hinterland, use of historical maps in landscape-ecological studies in GIS environment 1. Introduction The Department of landscape ecology at VÚKOZ is engaged with the development of Czech landscape in the last 250 years on the basis of studying data contained in large-scale digitalized historical topographic maps in GIS milieu.

  • Die Herkunft Und Bedeutung Des Ortsnamens Regensburg
    Albrecht Greule Die Herkunft und Bedeutung des Ortsnamens Regensburg Regensburg liegt am nördlichsten Punkt der Donau. Die Stadt geht auf eine Gründung der Römer zurück, sie ist heute Hauptstadt des bayerischen Regierungsbezirks Oberpfalz, Sitz der Fürsten von Thurn und Taxis, und hat einen berühmten Dom, in dem die Regensburger Domspatzen singen. Ihr Name hat nichts mit dem Regen, der vom Himmel fällt, zu tun, wie oft spaßhaft angenommen wird, sondern mit dem hier in die Donau mündenden Fluss Regen. Der Name des aus Tschechien kommenden Flusses begegnet bereits anno 819 (Kopie 9. Jahrhundert) in einer Traditionsurkunde in althochdeutscher (altbairischer) Gestalt als Regan . Allerdings scheint Regin , lateinisch Reginus , der einzige und ursprüngliche Name für den Fluss Regen gewesen zu sein, und nicht Regan , worin die erste Anspielung des Fluss- und des Stadtnamens auf das Nass vom Himmel (althochdeutsch regan ) fassbar wird. Auch der Name des am Regen gelegenen Stadtteils Reinhausen (1007 Regin-husen ) enthält die ursprüngliche Form des Flussnamens. Obwohl auf der Bauinschrift für das gewaltige Legionslager, das die Römer an der Regen-Mündung 179 n. Chr. errichteten, kein Name verzeich- net ist, wissen wir, dass der gesamte Siedlungskomplex bei den Römern Regino hieß. Sowohl auf einer spätrömischen Straßenkarte als auch im Itinerar des Kaisers Antoninus, die beide im Kern die Verhältnisse des beginnenden 3. Jahrhunderts n. Chr. wiedergeben, ist Regino (= Regensburg) ein- getragen. Was liegt näher als die Annahme, dass die Römer ihr Legionskastell nach dem Fluss be- nannten, an dessen Mündung in die Donau es errichtet worden war. Regino ist ein lateinischer Ab- lativ (Lokativ), der ‘am Regen’ bedeutet.

  • A New Family of Giant Jurassic–Cretaceous Littorinoid Gastropods from the Northern Tethys Shelf
    A new family of giant Jurassic–Cretaceous littorinoid gastropods from the northern Tethys shelf MATHIAS HARZHAUSER and SIMON SCHNEIDER Harzhauser, M. and Schneider, S. 2014. A new family of giant Jurassic–Cretaceous littorinoid gastropods from the northern Tethys shelf. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 59 (2): 367–378. The giant, up to 40 cm high littorinoid gastropods from the Middle Tithonian to Berriasian carbonates of the Al- pine-Carpathian northern Tethys margin are assigned to the genus Leviathania. The genus is distributed from Spain to the Caucasus. Some species formed dense populations in the wide-spread, highly productive lagoonal environments situated on the carbonate platforms of Ernstbrunn (Austria), Mikulov, Štramberk (both Czech Republic), and Nyzhniv (Ukraine). The conspicuous morphology, comprising very large shells with strongly angulated whorls and especially the phaneromphalous umbilicus exclude the traditional attributions of this genus to the families Purpurinidae and Purpuroideidae. Therefore, we establish the new family Leviathaniidae for the type genus Leviathania. The family comprises the largest pre-Cenozoic gastropods, represented by a yet unnamed gigantic Leviathania species from the latest Tithonian or early Berriasian of Ukraine. The gastropods are tentatively assumed to have fed omnivorous, i.e., on a mixed detrital-algal diet, based on comparable population densities as the large modern queen conch Lobatus gigas from the Caribbean Sea. Key words: Mollusca, Gastropoda, Leviathania, carbonate platform, body size, Jurassic–Cretaceous, Tethys, Titho- nian, Ernstbrunn Limestone, Austria.
