Abstrakt: The development of the management of Czech bodies of water is monitored through the file material of the Czech Land Diet and the Land Committee of the Kingdom of Bohemia from the second half of the 19th century. The analysis is primarily of commemorative dossiers created by the so-called “interested parties” and expert inquiry commissions appointed by the diet. At the same time, stenographic protocols from the meetings of the Bohemian Land Diet from the 1860s to the 1880s are used, from which it is possible to deduce the disputes over jurisdiction over Bohemian rivers between the land and the empire. These sources are supplemented by an authentic, but very critical view of one of the actors in the construction of waterworks in Bohemia, who gained professional experience in Prague, Vienna as well as in district water authorities. The constant postponement of water management projects for decades, or rather until the next flood, and their constant revision will be commented on here by Ing. Emil Zimmler, who wrote his assessments of the very complicated cooperation between the land and the empire in waterway matters in his engineering memoirs.
