Abstract

This study evaluates distribution and dynamics of suspended matter, strontium 90 and caesium 137 in Orlík reservoir. In the case of suspended matter and caesium 137, 85.8% and 60.6% respectively was deposited in the reservoir during the period 2000–2006 while during the period 1997–2006 the outflow of strontium 90 from the reservoir exceeded the inflow by 31%.
