Concentrations measured by all monitoring networks are stored in the AQIS air pollution database. The database contains data from the beginning of measurements, and sulphur dioxide and suspended particulate matter concentrations from the station networks of the CHMI in North Bohemia and Prague from 1971. Accompanying meteorological data, which are measured at a large part of the automated monitoring stations of the CHMI are used for the evaluation of air quality-meteorological relationships, are also stored in the ISKO database. In addition, the ISKO emission database also includes data provided by cooperating institutions. These include the Public Health Institute in Ostrava, the Public Health Institute in Ústí nad Labem, the National Institute of Health, ČEZ, a. s., municipal authorities and other contributors. The database also includes information from the border areas of Slovakia, Germany, Poland and Austria.

Feature layer depicting the location of springs where the observation of yield is performed. In the past, all springs were observed by volunteers. Currently, these springs are still partly monitored in this way, and partly monitored with equipment having a daily measurement frequency. The data are stored in the Central Regime Database of Groundwater which is maintained by the Hydrology Database and Water Budget Department.

Feature layer depicting the location of boreholes observing groundwater level in shallow and deep aquifers. Currently, most of the measuring objects are equipped with automatic stations that record locally or transmit the data. These stations record once a day. Originally, the boreholes were observed by volunteers with a weekly frequency of measurement. Most of new measuring objects were built during the so-called ISPA project. They went into operation in 2007. The data are stored in the Central Regime Database of Groundwater which is maintained by the Hydrology Database and Water Budget Department.

Feature layer with the location of water-gauging stations. Over 90% of measurements are carried out through automatic stations with locally stored records or transmitted records. Discharge is derived from observed water level using rating curves, which are determined based on hydrometric measurements. The data from these stations are stored in the Central Regime Database of Surface Water which is maintained by the Hydrology Database and Water Budget Department.

This data set contains spatial data with biogeographical division of the Czech Republic. This division was elaborated initially for purposes of national and supra-national Ecological Networks. It has its own hierarchy, consisting of both individual and typological biogeographical units. Higher units (biogeographical province, subprovince, and bioregion) are of individual character. Within the territory of the Czech Republic, two biogeographical provinces, four biogeographical subprovinces and 94 biogeographical regions have been distinguished. Hierarchically lower biogeographical units (biochores, group of geobiocoene types) have typological character; their characteristics in English are intended to be published later. All of the biogeographical units - with the exception of the group of geobiocoene types - are elaborated in maps of scale 1:50 000 and are included in this data set.

The Czech Republic, like all states that are parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), is obliged to implement international measures to mitigate climate change caused by anthropogenic activities, within the framework of which it must also regularly publish projections of greenhouse gas emissions. By reporting projections, the Czech Republic also fulfils its obligations as an EU Member State under Article 18 of Regulation 2018/1999. The Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (CHMI) is responsible for the implementation and submission of these reports and reports every two years, on 15 March (t-2), to the European Commission and the UNFCCC Secretariat, which then use them to develop further legislation and policy measures to reduce emissions or increase sinks (removals) of greenhouse gases.

Open dataset contains data on underground mine workings and on reported impacts of mine workings over the territory of the Czech Republic. Attributes include detailed information about each object, e.g. the exact location, topographical situation, proprietary relation, technical data, the current state of these workings, their hazardousness and possible security measures. There are also links to the signatures of source reports stored in the CGS Geofond archive and to the digital documentation in *.jpg format - e.g. photograph, map cut-out, drawing.

Data from the database are continuously used in monitoring the safety of mine workings according to the Mining Act, in land-use planning, and as a part of the urban planning documentation according to the Building Act.

The Landscape feature dataset is created by merging the four categories of woody, stony, wet and grassy features from the feature classes in the Ecological Focus Area dataset. The types of Ecological focus area elements are defined in National Regulation 307/2014 Coll.

This dataset is created in accordance with the Regulation (EU) No. 2021/2115 and in accordance with Act 252/1997 Coll on agriculture and National Regulation 307/2014 Coll.

Monthly updated review of waste co-incineration facilities.
Information for this review is obtained from the periodic report of the Czech Environmental Inspectorate. The following information is monitored: change of operator or source name, technological modifications, changes in the composition of waste, source shutdown or start of operation. These reports also provide information about the performed measurements and compliance with emission limits. Some summary information (especially the amount of incinerated waste) is obtained from summary operating records. They are made public in the form of synoptic tables which contain following data: identification data (region, name of operator, name of facility, identification number (IČ), identification number of the operating unit (IČP), address of operator, address of facility) and operating data (putting into operation, capacity in tonnes per year, amount of waste incinerated in last three years in tonnes per year), emission limit values compliance and appropriate comments about operating changes, performed measurements etc.

Mapy jsou zpracovány pro oblasti s významným povodňovým rizikem, které jsou definovány úseky toků. Mapy povodňového nebezpečí zobrazují rozsah povodně, hloubky zaplavení a rychlosti proudění pro povodňové scénáře 5, 20, 100 a 500 let. Mapy povodňového ohrožení rozdělují zaplavované území do čtyř kategorií na základě intenzity povodně (kombinace hloubek a rychlostí). Mapy povodňového rizika znázorňují plochy, které jsou v riziku vzhledem k jejich zranitelnosti (tj. jejich využití). Vytvářet a aktualizovat tyto mapy v šestiletém cyklu je povinnost daná evropskou směrnicí 2007/60/ES o vyhodnocování a zvládání povodňových rizik. Data jsou dostupn na vyžádání, pokud je udělen souhlas správce povodí. Data lze prohlížet na portálu MŽP: https://cds.mzp.cz .

According to Act no. 157/2009 Coll. § 17 Sec. 4, point. a) and b) CGS was commissioned by the Ministry of the Environment to identify closed and abandoned mining waste depositories that are significant risk to environment and human health. CGS maintains a register of these depositories.

According to Regulation 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council of the EU, all EU Member States are required to report their National Inventory Report to the European Commission annually by 15 March of the following year (t+1) together with the official reporting tables (CRF – Common Reporting Format); and to the UNFCCC Secretariat by 15 September, which has been implemented since 2024 under the new terms of the Paris Agreement, now in the CRT (Common Reporting Tables) format. Under the Paris Agreement, the Czech Republic, as an EU member state, has agreed to jointly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40 % by 2030 compared to 1990.
