Original Abstract

The paper deals with partial problems of water quality management. Attention is paid especially to application of mathematical modelling in combination with geographic information system for the operative solution in case of accidental pollution. There are two main possible causes of accidental pollution. It could be either technological failure or consequence of flooding. The paper discusses the problems related to the first case, the technological failure. The pollution is transported entirely in the stream. Therefore 1D mathematical model (MIKE11) is applied for the simulation of advection-diffusion processes. GIS (ArcEditor) is used for the data management (geo-database setup, pre-processing and post-processing), graphical presentation in form of maps representing progress of pollution in the stream. Furthermore, GIS is used as a tool of the risk analysis of potentially effected area. Case study was made for a local river (cca 65 km long) in partially industrialized area. The work is part of the grant project 103/03/P152 of Czech Science Foundation.
