Possibilities of water retention solutions in suburbanized and agricultural landscape

The most effective adaptation measure is a suitably designed complex land consolidation (CLC) and the realization of the plan of joint facilities (PJF). However, the only problem is the local effect and duration of the whole process. On average, 151 CLC processes are completed per year, which therefore represents the affected area de facto 151 cadastral areas. The total number of cadastral areas in the Czech Republic (CR) is 13072. However, the CLC process does not mean that designed adaptation measures has been realized. According to the Superme audit office's data (SAO), only 8.7% of the proposed adaptation measures were realized until 2015. It is therefore necessary to look for a faster strategy for adapting to current climate change. This paper addresses the possibilities of placing low-cost retention elements in the landscape, which can be quickly implemented in various variants in small and medium-sized areas on land owned by municipalities. A frequent case of these plots are plowed field roads within large blocks of land. These measures must therefore be adapted in size to the available area within these plots. The network of elements created in this way brings, in addition to increasing the retention, evapotranspiration and erosion protection of the area, also other benefits within the framework of territorial system of ecological stability, landscape character, making the landscape accessible through roads and line water retention elements that also provide cultural intangible services in the sense of increasing the recreational potential of the locality.
