The study departs from previous research of the early systematic flood prevention throughout the Czech lands. It is based on archive sources dating to the last two decades of the 18th century, which have practically not been employed yet, in order to follow the efforts of the Czech administration aimed at preventing flood damages – mainly in 1789 and 1795 – and also describes the situation under which the earliest known printed Prague flood instructions were issued in February 1795.
