Description :
The main cause of the so-called flash flood that occured in the Olešenský potok Brook drainage area in June 10 and 11 2004, was above all an abnormal rainfall. Human interventions into the natural environment had only a negligible impact on the flood magnitude and thus on the consequent material damages. In the upper and middle part of the basin, where the valley has still maintained its natural character, abnormal erosion and accumulation locally occured, but this is a part of natural development of a valley. - (EN)
