This paper presents a novel method for measuring the data for evaporation estimation as the key ingredient for the final decision of the reclamation form in the area of the Most Basin. The area has been intensively mined for many decades, resulting in significant landscape devastation, loss of natural habitats, and negative environmental impact. Currently, it is assumed that by 2050, three large-scale reclamation projects will be implemented in the area and it is necessary to decide which form of reclamation to choose. Whether to build lakes according to the currently valid rehabilitation and reclamation plan or to leave the area of the quarries in succession with the support of spontaneous inflow of water up to a naturally sustainable water level. Whether the first or second option is approved, or a combination of both, the prediction of evaporation from the free water surface will always be of great importance. To deal with this goal, the available meteorological data must be combined with a suitable calculation method. In our work, we suggest utilizing a measuring network of meteorological devices that describe the character of the weather in a given area of interest in a long-term time series. Together with the state-of-the-art calibration of models for calculating evaporation, the measurement network helps to provide more accurate evaporation data for a given area. Based on the analysis of research results, it will be possible to choose a specific right decision and thus contribute to the long-term sustainability of these reclamations.
After finishing the mining process, the best way to deal with the residual of open-cut coal mines in the north-western region of the Czech Republic has been proposed to be hydric recultivation. The area of our study is the first artificial Lake Most (formerly known as Ležáky-Most coal quarry) finished in 2014 and opened to the public in 2020 for recreational purposes. Since the lake is a closed system without natural inflow and outflow, the prediction of evaporation plays a crucial role in the securitization of long-term sustainability based on the capability of keeping the stable level of a dimension of the final water level. In this paper, we use the historical data consisting of the altitude of the lake level, its area, the perimeter of the shoreline, and especially the volume of refilled water. These data are compared against the computational methods; namely, the Penman-Monteith Equation and Hargreaves-Samani model calibrated by the method proposed in our previous work.
Hydrical reclamation of the residual pit of Most-Ležaky is part of the comprehensive revitalisation of the land affected in the past by mining activity with an area of 1264 ha. .us, in terms of remediation and reclamation, the most appropriate way to reclaim the residual pit, as one of the final stages of the long-term reclamation activities that have been going on in the area for more than half a century, occurs under the given conditions. .e Lake Most, our study area, was planned and created as a hydric recultivation of the former surface Most-Ležaky mine located near the town of Most, in the foothills of the Ore Mountains, approximately 80 kilometers northwest of the capital of the Czech Republic - Prague. .e Lake Most represents extensive hydric reclamation, which is unique in the sense that it does not have a natural inflow and runoff, therefore an artificial feeder from the Ohře River had to be built. .e main goal of the ongoing research is to construct a mathematical model predicting the water balance of Lake Most. .erefore, it is important to separate amount of water that is lost by the evaporation and amount of water that is lost into the subsoil. If we do not wish to use only temperature equations but more complex methods and equations to calculate evaporation instead, we need to have relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind speed, and daylight length values. In addition to the climatic data needed to calculate the evaporation, the amount of precipitation is needed to construct the balance equation of the area. An important objective in planning all hydric reclamations is to ensure their long-term sustainability, which is based on a detailed description of the study area's climate and local hydrological conditions. In our article we focus on assessing the evolution of climate in the area of this hydric reclamation. We have processed a long-term series of measurements in monthly averages from the Kopisty meteostation data provided by the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the CAS.

Jezioro Most jest wyjątkowe w tym sensie, że nie ma naturalnego dopływu i odpływu, dlatego konieczne było wybudowanie sztucznego dopływu rzeki Ohře. Głównym celem prowadzonych badań jest zbudowanie modelu matematycznego prognozującego bilans wodny jeziora Most. Dlatego ważne jest, aby zbilansować ilość wody traconej w wyniku parowania od ilości wody traconej do podłoża. Poza zależnościami od temperatury, wykorzystano bardziej złożone metody i równania do obliczenia efektu parowania, uwzględniające wartości wilgotności względnej, ciśnienia atmosferycznego, prędkości wiatru i długości dnia. Oprócz danych klimatycznych potrzebnych do obliczenia parowania, w rownaniach bilansu uwzględniono ilość opadów. Ważnym celem przy planowaniu rekultywacji wodnej jest zapewnienie długoterminowej trwałości, co opiera się na szczegółowym opisie klimatu i lokalnych warunków hydrologicznych badanego obszaru. W naszym artykule skupiono się na ocenie ewolucji klimatu w badanym obszarze rekultywacji wodnej. Przetworzono serię długoterminowych pomiarów w średnich miesięcznych z danych meteorologicznych Kopisty dostarczonych przez Instytut Fizyki Atmosfery CAS.
