Methodology for adaptive management of water reservoirs during hydrological drought
This article presents a methodology for the adaptive management of water reservoirs designed to ensure a reliable water supply under condi-tions of hydrological drought and climate change. The proposed approach combines hydrological modelling, climate change scenarios, and the optimisation of rule curves with regulation levels. The management system allows for flexible restrictions on water abstractions and the adjustment of minimum residual flows depending on the current state of the reservoir. A pilot application of the methodology was carried out on selected Czech reservoirs (Švihov, Klíčava, Žlutice, Obecnice, Pilská, Láz, Vrchlice) under current climate conditions and future scenarios for 2050 and 2100.
Technical Heritage of the Elbe-Vltava Waterway
From 8th November 2022 to 31st January 2023, an exhibition entitled “Technical Heritage of the Elbe-Vltava Waterway” took place in the atrium of the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU). The exhibition included exhibition panels, an interactive model of a weir lock, a video projection screen, and a stand with a web application www.lvvc.cz. The exhibition mapped the history and development of this 324 km waterway since the beginning of the 19th century, and it is expected to continue as a travelling exhibition.
