remove them must be taken into account protection of aquatic and water-related ecosystems
. These dams should not create barriers to the movement
fish and aquatic animals in both directions watercourse. This is not the
cases

performed or performed an emergency procedure by
Building Act of flood command authority, the municipality, the municipality with extended powers
or region. The issuance of this decision is the first act in

water authority. The announcement is also subject to rehabilitation of water works
destroyed by the disaster and water treatment;
earthworks and changes in the field of natural watercourse channels and adjacent land
with them, which is not substantially alter the natural watercourse
flows, require a building permit or notification. In cases under sentence
first and second, the time limit for notification of the water authority that has
objections, 15 days; In this period the building office announced the renewal or
maintenance work or modifications to ban water.

(4) If the water authority to execute the announced waterworks

organization and water which flows out into the waters of the mine, and the
wastewater leachate from landfills .

(2) Water drainage systems on drained agricultural land
cooling water used on ships and water turbines, for which there

polluter must pay it if the volume of discharged waste water
per calendar year exceeds 100,000 cubic meters.

(3) The fee for the volume of waste water discharged is calculated by multiplying
volume of wastewater discharged and the rate of CZK 0.1 per 1 m3
.

(4) The fee for polluted waste water is equal to the sum of partial
calculated for individual pollution indicators such
times the fee rate and the total amount of pollution discharged
per calendar year. In the event that at some toll substances will
reduce their total discharged amount
compared to the previous calendar year at least 20% but not more than 50%, reduces
fee for that substance about twice the reduction achieved. If u
some toll substances to reduce their total discharged
