Diplomová práce

Abstract:

The impact of human activities upon the environment is alarming and almost immeasurable due to the complexity and sheer scale. Whereas some impacts may seem trivial, undoing or mitigating those impacts are complex and often not achievable. This Diploma thesis focuses on how to decrease the impact of new development on the environment with a focus on one of the most complex and far reaching natural systems: water. The main aim of this Thesis is to identify various achievable measures applicable at large-scale warehouse facilities, focusing especially on hydrological cycle integrity by using green infrastructure and water management techniques. Based on a review of literature and some innovative case studies, many impacts from large amounts of impervious surface areas in the form of urban heat islands or low infiltration of surface water runoff were found. This thesis identifies a broad range of sustainable measures and approaches and proposes model recommendations for a specific project in the Czech Republic.
