It was the most severe natural catastrophe in the territory of the Czechia in the 20th century. Analogical to this flood are events that occurred in 1897. The 1-day total precipitation of 345.1 mm from 29 July 1897 gauged at the Nová Louka station in the Jizerské hory Mts. is a Central-European record until today. The extreme rains in the summer of 1897 raised great floods which affected a considerable part of Europe. In the territory of the Czechia they occurred namely in the upper Labe/Elbe R. and in the upper Morava/March R. basins. The high waters also showed on the Elbe R. in Saxony, in the Odra/Oder R. basin in the Poland, but also on the Danube R. in Austria where its water level culminated in Vienna 6 m above normal. Exemplified are flood damages, especially in the Czecho-Polish borderland. Workplace Institute of Geonics Contact Lucie Gurková, lucie.gurkova@ugn.cas.cz, Tel.: 596 979 354 Year of Publishing 2011
