Original Abstract

The main purpose of the Hostivař dam in prague is recreation when the reservoir level has to be maintained on prescribed level. The second declared purpose of the schema is flood attenuation at which operational manual recommends to pre-empty the reservoir. Obviously these reqirementssuffer from centain inconsistency in manipulation with water level. During the flood in June 2013 with approximate return period of 500 years several facilities downstream of the dam were flooded byrelatively rapid increase of water level in the Botič stream downstream of the Hostivař dam in Prague. The blame was thrown on the improper manipulation with appurtenant works of the dam and the complaints insist on the flood attenuation effect declared in operation manual. the study on the correctness of the operation at the during the flood proved proper and optimal operation with only minor flood attenuation effect.The main declared purpose-recreation.does not allow significant preemptying of the reservoir which has only limited volume to attenuate more extreme flood discharges.
