FAQ

What is hydrological drought?

Hydrological drought means persistently low flows and water levels in rivers. ČHMÚ evaluates them against a per-station "drought threshold" derived from long-term records. This page counts how many stations are currently below their drought threshold.

Is it the same as soil drought?

No. Soil (agricultural) drought measures moisture in the ground and is tracked by portals such as Intersucho. We show river drought (low flows) — a related but different phenomenon that worsens alongside it in a dry summer.

Where does the data come from?

From ČHMÚ open data (the hydrological gauging network). Values refresh continuously; the time of the latest reading is shown next to the headline figure.
