An eco-hydrological assessment of a watercourse examplified by a case study

Abstract

A small stream and its alluvial plain is an important component of a landscape. The mapping of actual condition of the stream basin and the proposal of its restoration study took place in the area of the Vařešinka stream basin. Monitoring and analyzing the selected parameters for a hydro-ecological evaluation is a useful basis for working out the System of Ecological Stability of the Landscape (USES) as a part of the municipal plan of the town of Hlučín.
