The water at Kletecký vodopád, month by month

From about 47 m³/s in the lowest month to 153 m³/s in the highest. Best months to go, with plenty of water and pleasant days: from May to August.
Estimate: the timing comes from rain, snowmelt and evaporation (NASA POWER, 1991–2020); the amounts from the river model of HydroATLAS (WaterGAP, 1971–2000). Dams upstream can change the real flow.
Kletecký vodopád is a waterfall in Czechia. The water falls 10 m.

7.7 MW
About 79 m³/s falling 10 m: the power of the water as it drops.
- as much as 2.6 large wind turbines
- enough to power about 1,900 homes, if it were all turned into electricity
Power of falling water = density × gravity × flow × height. Average flow and height as shown above; an estimate.

The line follows the river as mapped in OpenStreetMap; heights from the 30 m Copernicus model, which smooths narrow drops — the published height of the falls is the one above.
Around the falls the river drops 118 m in 0.4 km. Here the river runs about 94 m below the lower rim of its valley.
