Modelling the impact of potential restoration of small reservoirs on the hydrological regime at the upper Vydra River basin.

The presented diploma thesis deals with the implementation of the SWAT eco- hydrological model at the upper Vydra basin in Šumava. In the first simulation, the model was built without inserted extinced small water reservoirs. In the second simulation, the effect of the possible inclusion of the small water reservoirs on the transformation of peak flows and the mitigation of low flows during dry periods is studied. To achieve the desired results, the SWAT model was used. This model is still not widely used in our territory. Model calibration was performed using the SWAT-CUP semi-automatic calibration software. Through the conducted research, it was found that in the case of the inclusion of some reservoirs, there is a slight reduction in peak flows and an improvement in low flows during dry periods. The influence of the inclusion of the reservoirs in the final profile of the basin of interest in Modrava is less apparent. The results also include a option with the five times greater volume of the reservoirs. The presented results and their discussion could provide more detailed information about the inclusion of today's defunct reservoirs in the runoff regime in the upper Vydra basin.
