Wetland restoration options with regard to different operational requirements

Jana Marková, Petr Pelikán


One of the many possible landscape interventions for water retention in the landscape is the construction of natural small lakes - pools, a measure that is currently very common. At first sight, it is a relatively simple measure, in terms of legislation, design and implementation. However, there is often disillusionment, as there is a clash between the requirements of the individual public authorities with the nature conservation authorities and also with the water management options. Conflict can also arise over the actual function that the pools are ultimately intended to fulfil. Primarily preferred by experts, biodiversity, water retention, etc., can often clash with requirements for recreational use, especially if the feature is close to an urban area.

Keywords: water retention in the landscape, biodiversity, recreation
