Identification and drone aerial photography of selected historic irrigation structures in the Czech Republic
- Petr Karásek, Igor Pelíšek
Since the 19th century, the irrigation industry in Bohemia and Moravia has undergone considerable technological development and an increase in irrigated areas. Irrigation has become an important part of the Czech cultural landscape. In the 1990s, however, there was a considerable decline. Complex irrigation systems and buildings have ceased to be used in many cases. They were often destroyed, devastated, left without maintenance. In connection with climate change, drought and uneven distribution of precipitation during the growing season, the issue of irrigation is currently gaining prominence again. In this study, selected historic irrigation structures were documented using a drone - Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The aim was to analyze the current state of these buildings in the irrigation industry and to show the true story of these buildings and constructions. These often forgotten buildings and infrastructures with cultural and historical value can be one of the interesting tourist destinations.
