Cover photo description:
The Å˜Ãmov reservoir was constructed in 1971â€“1978 at 21.85 km of the MalÅ¡e River tributary of the Vltava River, downstream its confluence with the ÄŒernÃ¡ stream. The reservoir serves as an important drinking water supply for South Bohemia and helps to maintain a minimum flow downstream. The dam is 47 m high and 290 m long. Reservoir volume is 34.3Ã—106 m3, the catchment area is 489 km2.Mean annual flow is 4,3 m3 s-1 and mean theoretical water retention time 92 days. The Å˜Ãmov reservoir is a canyon-shaped impoundment with steep banks, the â€žtowerâ€œ for drinking water input is at 5 m distance from the dam. Being a drinking water source, Å˜Ãmov Reservoir is protected and no other uses are allowed.
