Recently, we are in the époque of sophisticated Ambient Intelligence (AmI) applications, mainly based on utilisation of wide sensor networks together with advanced AmI approaches. If we concentrate on environmental (that is, open space or outdoor) applications, there is just a few of them, although basically focused on environmental monitoring, that enable more functionalities than just collecting environmentally related data and passing them to further elaboration. In our paper we intend to go further on with the ideas how environmentally oriented wireless sensor networks used in “large-scale” throughout the open natural environment could be enhanced using some recent AmI approaches in order to be beneficial in preventing primarily environmentally related problems, if not even disasters. We focus our attention on the area of water management with accent on two critical water related problems: floods management and drought-stricken periods. We suggest a concept of an approach how to solve a particular water management problem in Czech Republic using large-scale ambient intelligence approach enhancing thus wireless sensor network focused on environmental monitoring.
