Database of extinct historical objects in the Vltava river valley

Original language description

The Vltava River used to be an important trade and transport route in the past, with its beau-tiful landscape favoured by many and permanent hydropower essential for the regional econ-omy. Nowadays, it is the river on which the largest dam reservoir system in the Czech Re-public was built, with water management, hydropower and recreational use. Landscape along the Vltava river changed intensively, the life in the area as well as many important objects re-lated to the river vanished, they were demolished or just flooded. The main objective of the project supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic is to create a comprehen-sive information system about the Vltava River aggregating and incorporating various histor-ical and modern documents and data. The integral part of this system is a database of cultural, hydrological and other objects related to the river, which disappeared or, on the contrary, were built during the construction of the dam reservoir system. Within the project the data-base is filled using existing data sources (e.g. specialized database of water mills) or new data are added on the basis of combination of object position on old maps, textual or graphic in-formation in other documents (books, archive material, building plans, photographs, post-cards, iconography) and terrain research. The information system uses old and current 2D maps as the elementary positional interface. Moreover, 3D models of the landscape or de-tailed 3D models of selected objects are being created and will be linked with the database and easily accessible through the system. Last but not least, geolocated couples of old and present photographs (taken during low water level) are a great complement of the database entries.
