| Description | Czech Republic as a Central-European country faces a risk of the drought extensively in the last two decades and the drought represents an important subject of attention of several projects at academic and applied institutes. We focused on the so called geographical drought caused by an integral impact of representative factors of all natural landscape components and human land utilizing. Using GIS technology, we have carried out an exemplar research ignited by the hot wave and the precipitation deficit in the 2013 summer. Using detail component and land use data at the resolution 1:50 000, five territorial classes of drought risk were distinguished. Some of the most endangered areas cover large territory in the most fertile agricultural land in Southern Moravia. The artificial irrigation has to be planned here to ensure acceptable harvest after heat wave has started. |
