River Basin Management in the Past and at Present and its Impact on Extreme Hydrological Events

River basin and small watercourse river basins should be seen as interdependent and interconnected elements and components. Activities within the river basin can affect water conditions in terms of quality and quantity. Nevertheless, river basin management has an impact on other areas, such as on the social or economic conditions

Measurment of emission in selected pig breeding farm and assesment of their economical impact.

The aim of Bachelor Thesis was the evaluation of effects of electrolysed oxidising water (EOW), produced by the device Envirolyte, on the concentration of ammonia and other gases (methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and nitrous oxide) in microclimate of a pig stable. EOW has been said to improve sanitary conditions within stables (cleaning and disinfection, disease control). Nevertheless, as results from the measurements carried out in the pig stable of co-operative farm at Starosedlský Hrádek, concentrations of five determined gases were not affected

Agriculture in the Protected Landscape Area Šumava

Landuse for farming purposes is an indispensable part of management in specially protected areas although the process of farming has been importantly limited by restrictive arrangements, as agrotechnological terms which are caused by the needs of environmental protection. This diploma thesis deals with the impact of some limiting rules on running of the farms which are farming in convenction way, situated in the area CHKO Šumava. Field research was performed in the form of dialogs and was focused on detection of owner´s opinions concerning their relationship with CHKO authority, impact of agrotechnological terms on running of the farm and revealing of their future plans. Based on the analysis it is possible to say that all the farmers declare the cooperation with CHKO authority as definitely negative whereas the present payments for natural disadvantage compensation appears to be clearly positive and they cannot imagine future farming without them. Agrotechnological terms followed from specific regime of specially protected areas have been declared as minimally restrictive because the owners have adopted them the farm working

The influence of natural conditions on the occurrence and movement of wild animals and the success of evaluating their detection using different working methods

This thesis aimed to determine the influence of landscape conditions on the occurrence and movement of wildlife and to evaluate the success of game detection using different methods, focusing on roe deer. Roe deer are our native game and are now one of our most widespread game animals. The entire dissertation was conducted to propose the most optimal way of searching for a game on agricultural land in front of hayfields using unmanned UAV technology with a thermal imaging camera. In order to achieve the aim of the thesis, several sub-steps were carried out, which mainly dealt with the issue of comparing the methods of deer detection in forage crops (ground survey versus the use of UAV technology) and the issue of returning the deer to the crops after they had been flushed out or carried away. Other sub-analyses included evaluating the effectiveness of alternative methods of scaring deer from stands using different types of scarecrows and assessing the occurrence of red deer on the land concerning the location of landmarks. The solution of the dissertation thesis resulted in the proposal of a methodological guide for optimizing the search for deer on forage plots on arable land and permanent grassland

Effect of land use changes on water run-off from a small catchment in the Czech Republic

The changes in the landscape during past years were affected mainly by political and financial conditions in the agricultural sector as well as the future changes probably will be. For this study various scenarios of changes in land use in the small catchment caused by human activity were simulated. Several scenarios were focused on changes of agricultural area to urbanized landscape and also on industrial use of several plots. The aim of this study was to model and assess the impact of human-induced landscape changes on run-off from small catchments in the traditional agricultural area. It can be said, that more than the change of land use itself, changed management of these areas affects the water run-off more. The hypothetical transfer of significant part of the catchment area or the localities with infiltration vulnerable zones into urbanized paved space is the only exception. This change mainly affects the rate of discharge
