Summary/Abstract: The main goal of the army is defence of the state, the fulfilment of which requires state-of-the-art technologies. Terrain analyses are one of the basics. The landscape affects almost everything and the water is its important element. From the military point of view, watercourses are considered as significant operational obstacles. The characteristics of watercourses, especially the water regime, are dependent on latitude and altitude, but also on the climatic conditions of the areas through which the rivers flow. On the basis of a publicly available database with hydrological data, an analysis was made of the river characteristics in different types of zonal landscapes. The water regime should develop very similarly over the course of the year. This hypothesis was partially verified using the statistical methods. The main goal is approximate prediction of the water regime in different seasons of the given type of zonal landscape.
