The aim of the project "Water Sources in the Landscape in Relation to Extinguishing Forest Fires" was to find out about the degree of fire risk to forest stands in the Czech Republic and, related to it, the identification of factors that have the greatest influence on the presence of fire (threat). Simultaneously, there was an assessment of whether there are enough water sources in the Central European landscape usable for fighting forest fires, how these sources are registered, and how the data are updated and how the actual state in the field is verified.
The result of the project is Software WAS Distance: A program to calculate the availability of water sources for extinguishing forest fires.
