Restoration of linear greenery at Amálie

Oaks and traditional fruit varieties enrich the Smart landscape environment

The drought is changing. It is shorter but more intense, research led by a Czech university has found

Higher temperatures during these periods cause more water to be lost from the soil.

New pools at Amálie are filled with water

The snowfall of the week before last and the subsequent melting of the snow from last week brought enough water to fill our two new reservoirs in the Karlův luh catchment.

What happened at Amálie

What happened at Amálie in the last quarter of 2020. Take a look:

Our Smart landscape project is attracting worldwide attention

When it rains, we forget about the drought. A mistake, experts warn

The soil in the Czech Republic is saturated with water for the needs of agriculture and the farmers could be satisfied. But experts say it is more complicated than that.

We are starting the land development of the Amálie locality

In early January 2021, a contract was signed for a simple land development in the Amálie locality. The processing team is led by VÚMOP, other members are ČZU and Agroprojekt PSO, s.r.o.

Smart landscape can withstand drought and floods. It will be of interest to every farmer, says Petr Sklenička, Rector of ČZU

The Czech University of Life Sciences is creating a so-called Smart landscape near Lány in the Rakovník region on an area of about 500 hectares that can cope with climate change and its soil can withstand drought and floods.

Smart landscape. Czech scientists fight drought to be modern in 30 years

"This soil has been formed for whole generations and now it is lost," says Jan Vopravil of the Research Institute of Melioration and Soil Protection.

Extreme droughts to become up to seven times more frequent in central Europe, scientists expect

Extreme droughts will be up to seven times more frequent in Central Europe if greenhouse gas production increases significantly.

MONETA Money Bank cooperates with ČZU on the project SMART LANDSCAPE 2030+

MONETA Money Bank has concluded a memorandum of cooperation with the Centre for Water, Soil and Landscape (CVPK), which operates under the Czech University of Life Sciences. The main subject of the cooperation is to support the Smart landscape project near Lány. The aim of the CVPK project is to create and pilot-test a landscape adapted to climate change and 2030+ conditions.

ČZU cooperates with the Prague 2 Municipal District on a project of adaptation to climate change

In connection with the project of adaptation to climate change in urban conditions, which was launched by the Prague 2 Municipal District in cooperation with the Centre for Water, Soil and Landscape (CVPK) of the Czech University of Life Sciences (ČZU) in September last year, new possibilities are beginning to emerge.

ČZU concluded a memorandum with VEOLIA CZECH REPUBLIC, a.s.

Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague will cooperate with VEOLIA ČESKÁ REPUBLIKA, a.s. It has committed to this in a memorandum signed by the Rector of the Czech University of Life Sciences, Professor Petr Sklenička, and Bohdan Soukup, representative of VEOLIA CZECH REPUBLIC, a.s.

Hard on the training ground, easy on the battlefield

Scientists are building a drought-fighting training ground near Lány. They are counting on diversity, wrote the server iDnes.

CVPK scientists held a press conference in Lány

A functional Smart landscape adapted to climate change and 2030+ conditions is starting to come to life at the Amálie farm near Lány.

Research carried out at the Faculty of Environmental Protection and within the CVPK on the topic of floods has been widely acclaimed

Journalists are noticing the global overlap of the results of the study by scientists from ČZU.

Work on the first Smart Landscape continues

The first Smart Landscape implemented in the Amálie area near Lány is slowly taking shape.

Czech Republic is plagued by drought, 99 percent of the territory has been affected

There are 70,000 ponds missing in the Czech Republic, the water just runs off, says Rector Sklenička in the show Rozstřel on iDnes.

Interview with Professor Petr Sklenička

Czechs will learn how to survive drought. Israeli irrigation will be tested near Lány, says Professor Sklenička.

Media coverage of the establishment of the centre

The Centre for Water, Soil and Landscape has been covered by a number of major media outlets.
