In our TAČR project Restoration of springs - retention of water in the landscape directly at the source, we are also engaged in mapping springs and evaluating their condition in cooperation with the Administration of the Šumava National Park. This week, on Monday 28th and Tuesday 29th April, we visited several drained springs on the right bank of the Lipno Reservoir. Our student Šárka Sedláčková will map the springs in her bachelor thesis with the focus on the Horský Brook catchment area.
During this field trip, two sensors were also installed to continuously measure the groundwater level in drained and preserved springs. We will therefore be able to compare how water retention is affected in a spring that has been degraded by targeted drainage.
This project is funded with the support of the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic and the Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic within the Programme Prostředí pro život.
