The Impact of River Engineering Works on the Dyje River Floodplain (Czech Republic)

Original language description

The article deals with changes to the lower part of the Dyje River floodplain, Czech Republic, caused by river engineering works. It investigates channel changes as well as changes in the number of cut-off meanders, oxbow lakes, and pools, focusing on the impact of river engineering works on land use and specific natural conditions of the floodplain. The research shows a significant shortening of the Dyje, a decrease in its sinuosity, and fluctuations in its surface area and in the number of cut-offs, oxbows, and pools. As regards the natural environment, the engineering works determined a lowering of the water table and some changes in plant species. From the perspective of human activities, in the form of land use changes, the study indicates that there was a significant reduction of meadow and pastureland, an increase in recreational areas, and a decrease in forestland. Some of these changes are a direct result of river engineering works, while others are an indirect consequence the
