History of droughts in the Czech Republic from documentary sources

Original language description

Drought can be defined as a relatively short period with a significant deficit of precipitation. Its impact can be intensified by other meteorological elements such as high air temperature, low relative humidity or weak wind. Usually four types of droughts are distinguished according to dominant impacts: meteorological, hydrological, agricultural and socio-economic. Knowledge of drought in the preinstrumental period (i.e. before regular meteorological observations) can be significantly extended by usingof documentary evidence. Basic documentary sources containing information about droughts in the Czech Lands are described. Fundamental indices and consequences of droughts are evaluated. Overview of the most severe drought episodes from the 12th centuryonward is given with special attention to Central European context and to selected exceptional cases such as in the years of 1540, 1616, 1717--1718 etc. Obtained results about frequency and severity of droughts are compared with analysis
