Summary/Abstract: The article deals with applying modern methods and related methodical approaches to spatial data and information collection in the research of extinct ponds in selected catchment areas in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia. The paper demonstrates an application of modern methods in cabinet and field research using selected examples. The methodical approaches concern mostly the processes of vectorisation and processing of database verification from archive map sources, spatial modelling and applications of lidar data, modelling and applications of RPAS. The results help to complete the missing information within the complex study of landscape development with special respect to water management of the catchment in the past. The acquired facts are the valuable source of data used in studies focusing on the improvement of water management in the current troublesome times.
