A small metal plate is placed on technical crossbeam of pipeline that is located on the waterfront of river Sazava. It indicates the water level of the river Sázava during the floods at the end of March 2006.

There were a sudden warming and hearty rainfall especially at the end of March 2006 which caused a rapid defrosting of snow and considerable increase of the flow in rivers. These effects resulted into the two flood waves recorded between 26.3. - 4.4. 2006.
