| Zusammenfassung |
| This study presents a flood frequency analysis for the Vltava River catchment
using a major profile in Prague. The estimates of peak discharges for the
pre-instrumental period of 1118–1824 based on documentary sources were
carried out using different approaches. 187 flood peak discharges derived for
the pre-instrumental period augmented 150 records for the instrumental period
of 1825–2013. Flood selection was based on Q10 criteria. Six flood-rich
periods in total were identified for 1118–2013. Results of this study
correspond with similar studies published earlier for some central European
catchments, except for the period around 1750. Presented results indicate
that the territory of the present Czech Republic might have experienced
extreme floods in the past, comparable – with regard to peak discharge (higher
than or equal to Q10) and frequency – to the flood events recorded
recently. |
