Abstract:

The aim of this study is a comprehensive assessment of changes in surface water quality in Prague and the Central Bohemian Region over the last five years. To achieve this goal, detailed data collection will be carried out on water quality parameters from Czech Hydrometeorological Institute including pH, temperature, chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD5), ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen and total phosphorus. The collected data will be transformed into spatial maps using ArcGis Pro to identify areas of significant fluctuations and to monitor temporal trends. In addition, an analysis will be done to identify important changes and correlations between water quality parameters and regional development factors such as agricultural activity, industry, population, etc. Expected outputs are detailed maps of the monitored parameters, identification of trends and identification of hotspots. The contribution of this work is to provide a comprehensive view of water quality in the region with special attention to the relationship between environmental change and regional development. It therefore contributes to a better understanding of the impacts of human activities on water ecosystems and provides information in the field of water management.
