Záplavy, Nature reserve in Kamenné Žehrovice and Srby, Czech Republic.

Záplavy is a nature reserve covering the northern part of Turyňský rybník and the adjacent wetland at the inflow of the Loděnice stream, north of Kamenné Žehrovice. The water body formed after underground coal mining caused the ground to subside and the depression flooded in 1948. An district road from Srby to Tuchlovice divides the reserve into two parts.

A pond existed here from the 14th century but was drained and disappeared by the 19th century. Underground coal mining in the 20th century caused the ground to subside, and the depression flooded during the 1948 flood; drainage attempts ceased after the mid-1950s. Protection efforts led by Jaroslav Lorenc produced a 1972 proposal, and the area was declared protected in 1985.

The reserve's name refers to the flooding that formed the site: the land around Turyňský rybník was undermined by deep coal mining in the 20th century, the surface subsided, and the depression was flooded during the 1948 flood. Attempts to drain it failed and stopped after the mid-1950s, so the water body was left to be colonised by wetland plants.

The reserve lies north of Kamenné Žehrovice, with the protected area covering the northern part of Turyňský rybník and the adjacent wetland at the Loděnice stream inflow. An district road from Srby to Tuchlovice divides it into two parts. The site is managed by the Central Bohemian Region; access is not described in the sources, so visitors should respect any local restrictions.

The water body is not a traditional pond but an anthropogenic lake: underground coal mining caused the surface to subside, and the depression filled during the 1948 flood. Attempts to drain it failed and were abandoned after the mid-1950s, so water and wetland plants colonised it naturally.
