Perspective of the dam engineering in the Czech Republic - now and near future

Original language description

The paper addresses topical issues of dam engineering in the Czech Republic and perspectives in this branch for the near future. In the last 30 years, dam engineering has mostly been in a period of stagnation. The post war boom of extensive construction of dams practically came to an end in the Czech Republic in 1996 by the commissioning of the last modern time dam, the Slezská Harta Dam. The creative capacity in dam engineering successively had to be oriented towards other current issues of hydraulic engineering such as flood protection projects and projects enhancing the safety of hydraulic structures in accordance with current knowledge applied in dam building worldwide. After the floods in 1996, 1997, 2002 and 2006, dam engineers work not only on technical flood protection measures, but also on projects of smaller water reservoirs and polders. After the floods in 1997 and 2002 in particular, studies of larger hydraulic structures are beginning to emerge guided by the top priority purpose of flood protection. After the flood in June 2013, it is evident that the control of flood patterns in some regions will inevitably have to lead to alternative design solutions considering the construction of larger storage capacities in water reservoirs. Dam engineers in the Czech Republic, naturally, also deal with issues of water management adaptation measures related to climate change. However, no patterns have been identified in our region so far on the basis of which adaptation measures could be correctly quantified. Thus, these issues rather remain at the level of alertness resulting in some foresight in the design of new structures.
