Possibilities for development in the areas adjacent to water bodies

conference paper

English

Only a relatively small percentage of the overall landmass of the Czech Republic is comprised of bodies of water (2.11%), the issue of the possibilities of water retention ought to be raised. We would do well to keep in mind that this primary function also has other positive effects, such as the development of within-country tourism, which can also serve as an educational opportunity. When it comes to nature preserving efforts, care must be taken so that the quality of the environment, water cleanliness and the protected biotopes are not disrupted. It is without doubt that to achieve a balance between these often contradictory requirements is far from easy, since the danger of inappropriate landscape interventions must at the same time be eliminated. The authors investigate the possibilities for the recreational use of bodies of water and formulate the rules as well as restricting factors for choosing the correct location. This article puts forward basic recommendations for the preliminary phase of a project and references specific information sources. The article includes an optimal example of evaluating a property adjacent to a water body.
