Hydrological reclamations are one way of eliminating consequences of surface mining of coal. The residual quarries occupy extensive areas and the most effective way how to integrate them into the surrounding landscape is their flooding. This will create a new water area that can be used recreationally and could also serve as a habitat or a migration point for different plant and animal species. The contribution is focused on northern part of the Czech Republic (The Most Basin) where brown coal has been mined for nearly 200 years. There have been made several surface quarries since the beginning of the mining. With the end of mining, most of them were flooded and new artificial lakes were created. The largest is Lake Most, which has 316 hectares, but is not yet accessible to the public due to technical modifications. There will be more of them in the future, because still active quarries (?SA, B?lina, Vr?any-?verma, Tu?imice) are planned to be flooded to. The largest one will be created by flooding the ?SA quarry with 1259 hectares. The presented article deals with hydrological reclamations and their impact on the environment from the ecological and social-economic point of view. It also deals with successful examples of hydrological reclamations from abroad (Germany).
