Old and historic water works are the subject of interdisciplinary interest, which covers the spectrum from hydrology and environmental protection to heritage preservation. The reason is the very meaning of these works in terms of nature and landscape protection and technical landmarks conservation, but also their impact on the water dynamics in the landscape during the normal and extreme runoff situations. Because the documentation of these objects is often conforming to their age and changes in ownership together with the issues about the standardization of these data, and often not even in the digital form. However, Czech Hydrometeorological Institute is responsible for the hydrometric and expert surveying on these objects. Above mentioned aspects formed the main motivation for the progressing cooperation with partners on the issues such is the methodical data collection and evaluation of these objects in pilot areas using the tools of the hydrometry, geoinformatics and mathematical modelling. Existing results of the hydrometrical measurements, GIS analyses and hydraulic modelling within the pilot areas together with the other tasks and issues to be solved are presented in this paper.
