Original Abstract

In an anthropogenically intact country, almost all stormwater (SW) is infiltrated, and it is absorbed by plants or evaporated. While SW in urbanized areas hardly finds an unaffected path to reach the natural water cycle. Natural water cycle has changed due to the buildings and roads associated with the growing population and also due to agricultural and forest management. This leads to a gradual change of underground water with a structural change and in extreme SW leads to local flooding. The current dry weather in the Czech Republic (CR) accompanied by extreme weather fluctuation provides the necessity to deal with stormwater management (SWM).
