This study aimed to assess the environmental conditions of the Upper Dnieper (the reach between the cities of Smolensk and Mogilev), based on the hydrological (depth, width and flow rate of the river), hydrochemical (water temperature, pH, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen). and meteorological (air temperature, atmospheric pressure, and wind speed) data obtained by the Complex Expedition to Explore Historical Waterways of Russia (?KEIVP?), conducted by S.I.Vavilov Institute for the History of Science and Technolo...

Since the dawn of time, housing has been closely linked to the characteristic natural environmental factors ? geological, hydrological and climatic conditions occurring in a given area. Lack of knowledge acquired by our ancestors about the causes of processes and phenomena existence in both ? natural and built environment, has led to the formulation of various hypotheses around this subject. One of them became the founding of the art that was focused on finding the right place to settle down permanently (mineral a...

The area of the CSA mine is situated at the northern edge in the central part of the Most Basin (North Bohemia, The Czech republic). The interesting area, currently represented by the internal wastedump and the own openpit mine CSA, has undergone significant changes over time that are associated almost with coal mining activities. This activity hit especially hydrological and hydrogeological conditions of the area. The original surface was naturally drained by the several streams, which were necessary translate to...

Several spatially distributed soil moisture estimates of different origin, spatial and temporal resolution are currently available for Europe or individual countries. These estimates range from gridded observations and satellite products to the estimates of large scale and/or spatially distributed water balance models. The estimated soil moisture is potentially useful for improving the water balance assessment with hydrological models in gauged and ungauged basins and reduction of uncertainty in the estimated para...
