Determination of potential retention of the fryšávka river basin [Stanovení potenciální retence povodí řeky fryšávky]

Hydrological models provide design parameters for the design of flood control measures. Runoff from the river basin is primarily determined by the amount of rainfall and water retention of the river basin. The Fryšávka River basin was chosen to determine the potential water retention of the river basin. Before the determination of potential retention preparatory work was carried out: description of the current state of land cover based on a detailed field survey,the representation of hydrological soil groups in the basin found in BPEJ (Bonitované půdně ekologické jednotky - Valuated land-ecological units) maps,delimitation of basin parts by the digital vector layer ZABAGED altimetry (Základní báze geografických dat - Fundamental base of geographic data) - 3D contour and evaluation of basin parts by the runoff curve numbers (CN). The processing of background data was performed by the program ArcGIS 9.2 of Arc View software products using a set of integrated software applications ArcMap,ArcCatalog and ArcToolbox. To assess the potential retention,as part of the hydrologic characteristics of the Fryšávka River basin,the curve number method,a modification of the deterministic episode model DesQ-MAXQ,was used. The average numbers of runoff curves and the data about potential retention of river basin parts are presented in the form of map outputs.
