Description
The default status of the project is based on the current data entry options from relevant institutions in accordance with adaptation measures contained in the National Programme to mitigate the impact of climate change in the country. The objective of the project is to make an impact study of climate changes and a proposal of retention and infiltration measures in the drainage basin of the Morava river. The project will analyze the current state of agricultural and forest basins, flood plains and urban areas. Based on the analysis, the evaluation of the effectiveness of various types of measures and selection of the set of appropriate measures will be made. Public administration staff and civil servants are expected to benefit from this project, as well as the expert public. The project has no donor partner.
Summary of project results
The necessity of the project was due to the need of a comprehensive approach on the issue of impacts of climate change on the occurrence of extreme hydrological conditions in the Czech Republic because all previous projects on this topic had focused only on some types of landscape (especially agricultural land) or selected types of measures. The objectives of the project were fully achieved. Project outputs are the starting point for long-term efforts to mitigate the impacts of climate change in the Morava River Basin and the methods and measures used are transferable to other regions. The result of the analysis of the territory is the definition of the threat and the potential of the given area from the point of view of nature-related measures. This output was passed to regional authorities and flow managers as a basis for spatial planning. Another output, a catalog of measures, the methodology for designing specific measures is addressed to public administration and landscape managers. The result of the design part is a set of concrete proposed measures for the priority area. It is intended for public administration and economic operators as a proposal for planning and possible implementation. A unique methodology for evaluating the effectiveness of the measure was handed over to the Ministry of the Environment as a basis for the development of decision-making tools. The main benefit for the target groups was to provide inputs for inclusion of nature-friendly measures into spatial planning and water planning, and tools for designing and evaluating the effectiveness of these measures. In the future, the proposed measures and methods can be expected to be implemented, including the implementation of specific objectives.
