Moldau-Kaskade, Hydroelectric dam system in Central and South Bohemia, Czech Republic.
The Moldau Cascade consists of interconnected reservoirs and power stations extending along the Vltava River through two administrative regions.
The construction of the cascade system began in 1952 with Lipno I and II reservoirs, followed by additional dams throughout the subsequent decades.
The reservoir system has transformed the regional landscape, creating new recreational spaces for water sports and leisure activities among local communities.
The cascade functions as a flood control mechanism for Prague while generating electrical power through multiple hydroelectric stations along its course.
The system includes both Orlik, the reservoir with the highest water volume, and Lipno, the reservoir with the largest surface area in Czech Republic.
