This paper concentrates on monitoring and the evaluation of the restored Sviňovicky brook channel. Main attention is paid to fluvial dynamics of the new channel. Repeated measurement of the cross-section and longitudinal profiles of the channel in connection with the rainfall and run-off events which have occurred can be considered as the basic method. In addition experimental photogrammetric methods have been applied using aerial images of the area taken from low-flying model planes. So far the largest changes to the revitalized channel occurred during the floods in July 2006. The flood caused changes in depth reaching more than 30 cm and in width reaching up to 1 metre, thus creating new conditions for further development of the channel. ...
