Název v původním jazyce

Flooding of the Prague Metro During the August 2002 Floods

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In August 2002, Southern Bohemia was affected by extremely heavy rainfall, which lasted for two weeks. Because of two flood tides, the storage capacity of the drainage area and the capacity of the system of the dams were exceeded. On August 14, 2002, theVltava River and the Berounka River converged simultaneously in their confluence area near Prague. As a result, Prague was struck by a catastrophic flood. The worst in some 500 years. Some districts of the capital city, as well as approximately one third of the Prague metro system was flooded. This caused the artery of the public transport system - the metro - to be out of service for a long time. In the flooded tunnels and metro stations there were approximately 1.2 million cubic metres of water. ThePrague metro flooded, firstly due to the anti-flood protection being insufficient. The surface protection was only designed for the one-hundred-year flood. Secondly, there were also some structural defects from the date of construction.
