History and present use of the upper and middle Vltava River

Original language description

The paper present research results of the historical development of anthropogenic activities along the upper and middle Vltava watercourse from the water management perspective. The Vltava river has been considered since ancient times as a natural waterway used to transport goods, especially wood, salt, and construction materials. The cargo was transported down the river from its source in the Upper Vltava region to the place of consumption, for example to Prague and other cities along Vltava and Elbe rivers. According to chronicle records, this worked as early as 920, when Prince Wenceslas declared the Vltava River a free road on the water. Vltava river has always offered a source of available water energy, which was exploited by mills, hammer mills, sawmills, which, due to the construction of necessary weirs, created obstacles in navigation. A partial result of the research in the project "Vltava—transformation of historical landscape as a result of floods, dams’ creation and land-use changes along with cultural and social activities in the river neighbourhood" is a database of historical, planned, and current water management structures on the upper and middle Vltava. The database describes weirs, dams, and other water management structures on the Vltava river. The aim of the database is to be a source of information as a technical description of structures, geographical information, photo documentation, historical documents for the developed web application, the exhibition under recent preparation and for watercourse and waterway administrators and other entities, including organizations operating in the field of cultural heritage protection.
