Abstract
The paper present the design of the technical flood protection measures on Svitava River in Březová above Svitava town. The current state of the study area was evaluated and determined based on related documents available for public as well as on the personal survey of the landscape. Technical solution as proposal of adjustment of the Svitava River (by composite trapezoid), extracting sediments and designing, stabilization of the bank and construction of the protective floodwall is shown in the paper. The riverbed slopes were fortified with a stone riprap with a sieve of grass mixture.

Summary
Natural floods are caused by natural phenomena, where the water from the riverbed occurs outside the channel. These natural phenomena might be [1]:. In order for flood protection measures to work well, their interdependence is important. It is a combination of [4,5]: flood prevention (e.g. adaptation of buildings to floods risk, appropriate land use, etc.), protection (e.g. technical and non-technical/natural flood control measures flows to reduce the probability and impact of floods), preparedness (e.g. informing the population about the situation and how to behave when flood situation occur, in case of emergency), rescue system (e.g. rescue plans). The exception is water structures, which have a positive effect on flood protection. [1,4,5,6]
