	The flooding event of Odra river: Measurements and calculations of the impact in the Odra estuary
		In the lower Odra river large areas of cultivated land were flooded after the breaking of dikes.
		When the extend of the damages in the upper Odra river became known in July 1997 there was a danger that the flood wave will cause devastation also in the area of the German-Polish border and in the area of the Odra estuary in Szczecin and downwards in the Szczecin lagoon.
		For the benefit of the people of the lower Odra region there is a necessity of combined exercises for emergency situations and the improved co-ordination of counter measures between respective governmental authorities on the German and on the Polish side of the river.

		Ceske Budejovice on the upper Vltava river and Plzen on the Mze were among the first cities to be affected badly.
		As a consequence of the confluence of the Berounka and Vltava rivers south of Prague, the peak discharge in Prague on Wednesday, August 14 was about 5,300 cubic meters per second, which is estimated to be a 500-year flood.
		Whereas the damage from the Odra flood was contained to a limited area along the Odra river, the August 2002 flood affected large areas of Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic.

	Odra River System, Horst Behrendt/Ralf Dannowski (Hrsg.), Weißensee Verlag
		The Central-European transboundary river system of the Odra, draining areas of Poland, Germany and the Czech Republic, accounts for the third largest catchment in the Baltic Sea basin and one of the most important sources of nutrients and heavy metals discharged into this sea.
		The book presents the methodology as well as the final results of a bi- and trilateral cooperation lasting for more than five years, directed at the model- and GIS-based analysis and quantification of diffuse sources within the Odra river basin.
		The methodology consistently applied in the three neighbouring countries as well as the results both for the period 1993 – 1997 and for different land use scenarios (up to the year 2020) are suitable to give an example for practicising coordinated transboundary action in implementing the European Water Framework Directive.

	Book review
		The large-format Atlas of Floodplains of the River Odra is a product of the work of 25 authors from the Czech Republic, Poland and Germany, under the editorship of Georg Rast (Germany), Petr Obrdlik (Czech Republic), and Piotr Nieznański (Poland).
		Further, the Atlas aims at the determination of the framework conditions for flood protection and visualization of the flood risk via reference to the catastrophic Odra flood of summer 1997.
		It may play an important role in the striving for sustainable development of the Odra landscape, harmoniously meeting the targets of nature protection and water management, therein protection against hydrological extremes.

		History of the flood event with emphasis on the estuary of the Odra river.
		There is a typical meteorological situation developing frequently in the area of the upper Odra river and along the river catchment in June/July.
		This temporal maximum of the water level is therefore caused by an outflow event to the Pomeranian Bight, not by the arriving Odra flood.
