The subject of the diploma thesis is the calculation of the energetic potential of the Davča watercourse
and the comparison of the obtained results with previous studies. In the first part, definitions and
methodologies for calculating different types of energetic potentials are given, with which we can
describe the energetic characteristics of an individual watercourse. In the second part of the thesis, we
determined the energetic characteristics on the example of the Davča watercourse, a tributary of the
Selška Sora River. As hydrological data, specifically for the Davča watercourse, are not available, they
were determined on the basis of the flows of the Selška Sora River with the assumption that they are
hydrologically comparable river basins. All necessary data for the calculation of energetic potential were
obtained from public databases. The calculation was performed for all characteristic types of energetic
potentials (gross, technical and ecological energetic potential) for the Davča watercourse, taking into
account the hydrological series 1991-2019. We compared the results of our analysis with the results of
the 1997 energy study and found a satisfactory match, which confirms the proposed methodology for
calculating energetic potential in smaller watercourses, which was actually the purpose of our thesis and
achieved goal: establishing a methodology for generalized determination of energetic potential of
watercourse. In this way, comparable, reliable and standardized analyses of possible energy use between
different watercourses can be made in the future.
