Testing of different approaches for the indication of stream intermittency in the Czech Republic _ the BIODROUGHT project
Original language description
The percentage of partially or fully drying streams has increased during the last decades not only in the Mediterranean, but also in the Central Europe. This gradual disappearance of formerly permanent watercourses is associated not only with hydrological alterations of anthropogenic origin, but probably also with changing climate. Regardless of the origin of this phenomenon, ecologists and water managers need an effective tool for the evaluation of the drought impact on aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, it can be very useful to develop (i) risk maps assessing stream vulnerability to drought and (ii) a hydrobiological method evaluating the presence and possibly also the extent of dry periods in stream?s recent history. These two outcomes are the main goals of the BIODROUGHT project (2012/2015) www.biodrought.eu supported by the Technology agency of the CR no.TA02020395.
