| Restoration of the Čelakovského Sady Park and the Surroundings of the National Museum | Prague/Czechia | Heavy rain | Urban and spatial environment | All paved surfaces surrounding the National Museum buildings and in Čelakovského Sady park feature permeable joints and subsoil designed for effective rainwater collection. There are 1 cm gaps between the large paving stones, while the gaps between the narrower tiles for newly planted trees are larger, measuring 3.5 cm, allowing water to reach the edges of the trees (up to 1000 litres per 6 minutes over 2 m²). The joints consist of a combination of two fractions of gravel and granite wedges, which distribute the load while facilitating infiltration.
For the unpaved areas, the project emphasizes soil protection and the prevention of soil compaction. This includes clearly marked lawned areas that are off-limits to foot traffic (protected by a low fence), as well as designated recreational areas and dog meadows. |

The trees are planted in a structural substrate designed to enhance the water and air conditions in the root zone. This substrate forms the main volume of the planting trench and consists of two layers with increased compaction. The upper layer features modeled gravel with a slight depression in the center. The city has chosen a variety of tree species, including maples, lindens, hornbeams, ash trees, and alders, in different sizes (with trunk circumferences of 12-14 cm and 14-16 cm) to monitor and compare their growth and health. Additionally, the surface of the upper substrate is adorned with a mixture of annuals and perennials for aesthetic purposes. | AdapterraAwards.cz |

| Methodology of Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment | T.G. Masaryk Water Research Institute [CZ] | Flood | Community | The methodology for preliminary flood risk assessment in the Czech Republic, as outlined in the document, aims to comply with the EU Directive 2007/60/EC by identifying areas with significant flood risks and developing corresponding flood hazard and risk maps. It involves collecting data from various sources, including DIBAVOD (water management data), ČSÚ (Czech Statistical Office), ZABAGED (geographic data), the Register of Census Districts, the Cadastre of Real Estate, the Integrated Pollution Register (IRZ), and the National Heritage Institute (NPÚ). The assessment evaluates flood risks based on different scenarios and quantifies potential impacts on human health, the environment, cultural heritage, and economic activities. The criteria for defining significant risk areas include the number of affected residents (expressed in people/year) and the value of impacted assets (expressed in CZK/year). The methodology produces detailed maps and management plans, which are reviewed and updated every six years to ensure effective flood risk management. | PDF [CZ] |
