Modelling the course of extreme floods in the context of landscape changes and integrated flood protection
Abstract
The thesis can be divided into three main parts that form three main pillars of integrated flood protection. These pillars are represented by three case studies.
First study was made in Blanice River basin. It computes flood extreme changes in condition of changing landscape.
Results could lead to positive land cover change which could cause the flood peak decrease. Second study was made in Chomutovka River catchment (Ore Mts.).
It quantifies dry retention reservoirs impact on the course of floods by different precipitation extremities. Third study tries to improve our knowledge of snow accumulation and melting processes in the context of vegetation cover effect (forests and open areas).
