Weir U Žida, Water control structure on Ostravice River in Staré Město, Czech Republic.
The weir U Žida combines reinforced concrete and stone construction to regulate water flow and maintain river levels in the Ostravice waterway system.
The structure represents centuries of water management evolution in the region, continuing the tradition of river control that dates back to medieval Czech engineering practices.
Local fishing communities gather near the weir throughout the year, maintaining traditional fishing methods and sharing knowledge across generations.
The weir functions as a primary control point for water levels, preventing floods during heavy rainfall and maintaining consistent flow during dry periods.
The structure creates distinct water patterns that attract various fish species, making it a reference point for regional aquatic wildlife studies.
