Terénní stanice představují jednu z forem rybářského, resp. rybničního výzkumu. Zprvu soukromé rybářské či (hydro)biologické stanice se v našich zemích začaly objevovat již koncem 19. století, ale k rozkvětu tohoto typu badatelského programu došlo až v průběhu meziválečné éry.
Náhled do historie ukázal, že rekreace u vody, jako záliba k trávení volného času, byla odedávna rozšířena i v Praze, kde byly velmi oblíbené, dnes již zaniklé, říční plovárny. Na historický průzkum navázal v projektu „Možnosti vodní rekreace na území hlavního města Prahy (od historie po současnost)“ zcela aktuální průzkum potenciálních možností rozšíření míst ke koupání a rekreace u vody na území Prahy.
Možnost rekreačního využití některých (nejen) pražských nádrží je omezena především kvalitou přitékající vody. Článek navazuje na předchozí část a shrnuje výsledky sledování kvality vody v roce 2018 ve vybraných profilech přítoků do rybníka Šeberák (Vestecký a Kunratický potok) a do přehradní nádrže Hostivař (Botič s Pitkovickým potokem).
Článek shrnuje výsledky sledování kvality vody ve vybraných profilech Motolského a Litovického potoka, které probíhalo v roce 2018. Sledování bylo zaměřeno na změny obsahu živin (formy dusíku a fosforu), koncentrace chlorofylu-a a na kvalitativní složení společenstva fytoplanktonu a zooplanktonu.
Tato práce je zaměřena na zhodnocení kvality vody a antropogenního znečištění sedimentů ve starých ramenech Kozelská tůň a Vrť středního toku Labe. Stará říční ramena jsou významnými ekosystémy, ve kterých se může ukládat velké množství znečištěného materiálu. Tato kontaminace může pocházet z průmyslových zdrojů znečištění především z 2. pol. 20. století.
Míra eutrofizace vodní nádrže Jordán v Táboře dosáhla na přelomu milénia velmi vysoké úrovně. To významně omezilo její vodárenské i rekreační využití. V letech 2011–2014 proběhlo na nádrži poměrně rozsáhlé odbahnění, v jehož průběhu bylo odstraněno téměř 270 tis. m3 sedimentů.
This article aims to present to the general public the results of the assessment of the ecological status/potential and chemical status of surface water bodies categories “river“ and “lake“ for the period 2013 to 2015 in the Czech Republic. The assessment was carried out in 2017 by the Water Research Institute of T. G. Masaryk, p. r. i.
Water elements represent a significant part of the environment of cultural heritage sites, conservation zones and areas. To fulfil the required functions, which may include social, historical, recreational and educational, but also environmental functions; it is necessary to ensure their corresponding target state.
Past tests of nuclear weapons in the atmosphere, nuclear energy facilities and tritium of natural origin are main sources of tritium in the environment. Thanks to its presence in environment and its favourable properties, tritium is used as a radiotracer.
The use of automatic samplers for detailed monitoring of substance concentrations and balance is nowadays an important part of special monitoring of surface waters. The average results of routine monitoring (consisting of point samples) are often underestimated over the real situation.
The inflow parts of eutrophic reservoirs typically exhibit exacerbated rates of primary production, with concomitant increase in organic matter sedimentation. Its microbial remineralization leads to the consumption of electron acceptors.
Based on existing phosphorus data series in the Slapy and Orlík reservoirs and their main tributaries, we reconstructed P inputs to the reservoirs from the catchment during 1961–2016 and compiled empirical models of P retention.
Odra River Alarm Modul (ORAM) will be part of the NAVAROSO project. There are no results of tracer studies of the Czech part of the Odra River in the last twenty years. That´s the reason, why tracer experiment data of the Svitava River were used for analysis.
The paper outlines the possibilities of using the epidemiological approach to the analysis of municipal wastewater to monitor the lifestyle of the population, its dietary habits, the environmental impacts on humans, the assessment of the state of health of the population and monitoring the consumption of illicit drugs and other substances in the monitored population
This article deals with new Czech Standard 75 7221 Water quality – Classification of surface water quality [1] and replaces the previous 19 years old standard [2]. It was necessary to take into account actual demands of the surface water protection from two points of view: pollution indicator selection and current environmental quality standards. The range of pollution indicators and limit values of water classification were revised.
The aim of this study is a summary of problems dealing with microbial pollution of flowing surface waters in the Czech Republic. Limits of counts of indicator microorganisms in current legislation and technical standards are presented, together with characteristics of the mostly used indicators of faecal pollution and methods of their detection.
The paper presents results and interpretation of long-term monitoring of occurrence and behaviour of radioisotopes 3H, 90Sr and 137Cs in surface water in the vicinity of the Temelín Nuclear Power Plant. 3H, 90Sr and 137Cs originate predominantly from residual contamination due to atmospheric nuclear weapons tests and the Chernobyl disaster in the last century.
The article presents the results of the project aimed at improving the situation in the catchment area of the Mostiště water reservoir where good water status is not achieved because of the high water load of nutrients.
