1 Transboundary cooperation in the flood forecasting and warning service within the international Morava river basin Workshop on transboundary issues Budapest Lucie Březková CHMI, regional office Brno

2 Morava River Basin Czech Republic Morava river basin Austria boundary area 2

3 View of the basin Area Total: km 2 CZ: km 2 Dyje: km 2 Important rivers March (Morava) Thaya (Dyje) Svratka Jihlava Bečva Reservoirs Vranov (101 mio m 3 ) Nové Mlyny (79 mio m 3 ) Polders Underneath Nové Mlýny 3

4 Floods in the Morava river basin Winter and spring floods (snowmelting) 1862, 1891, 2006 Summer floods 1883, 1930, 1938, 1997, 2002, 2010 Flash floods 1996, 2002, 2003, 2006 Ice floods Comparison of summer flood 2002, spring flood 2006 and flash flood 2006, gauge station Podhradí - Dyje 4

5 Floods in the Morava river basin Podhradí Dyje flash flood 2006 Raabs an der Thaya summer flood 2002 Dürnkrut - Morava spring flood

6 Arrangement of the international The bilateral agreements cooperation The exchange of all information related to flood protection and actual flood routing is realised by the Directivies for the forecasting, reporting and warning duty on the Czech-Slovak border waters and Czech-Austrian border waters Catchment (rivers) Riparian countries Treaties Year of establishment The Danube river basin (Morava) Czech Republic - Slovakia Treaty between the Government of the Czech Republic and the Governement of the Slovak Republic about cooperation on transboundary watercourses 1999 The Danube river basin (Dyje, Morava) Czech Republic - Austria Treaty between the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the Austrian Republic on regulation of water management issues related to border waters

8 Flood 2006 starting event for the closer cooperation between AT and CZ Gauge station Hohenau (Moravský Svätý Ján Slovakia) Morava river Q max = m 3.s -1 8

9 Conclusions The flood damages were estimated on 35 mil. Eur, there were large damages on the agricultural land due to flooding. Three people lost their lives during the flood. Lessons learned 60 % of the Dyje catchment above Vranov reservoir lies in Austria, cooperation with Austrian institutions must be improved. The permanent task is improving of the meteorological and hydrological forecasting and warning. 9

11 Monitoring extension in the upper part of the Dyje river catchment in Austria constructs a new remote station with sensors for: - precipitation, air temperature and snow level Limbach equips the existing remote stations with additional sensors for: - snow level Waidhofen/Thaya Breitenfeld provides the with remote data: - precipitation, air temperature: Drasenhofen Geras Haugschlag Karlstift Messern - precipitation, air temperature and snow level: Breitenfeld Waidhofen/Thaya Limbach - stage and discharge: Raabs Schwarzenau Zwingendorf Bernhardsthal (depending on the agreement with Via Donau) - provides the CHMI with rating curves for gauging stations: Raabs Schwarzenau Zwingendorf 11
