Part of the pond is a tank, natural bottom, dam and technical equipment necessary to control the water level. People can easily drain the pond when they need to.In the Czech Republic, fish farming has a long tradition, dating back to the 12th century, when in 1115 the oldest documented pond was founded in Bohemia. In the Czech Republic, fish farming was always supported by the Vítkovec family, later by the Rosenbergs and the Schwarzenbergs.

His most famous works include the Horusický Pond, the Opatovický Pond, the Velký Tisý Pond and the Kaňov Pond. In order to supply the ponds with fresh water, he has built the Golden Sewer, which has worked to this day.

The main initiator of fortification work was Jindřich VII. of Rosenberg. Josef Štěpánek Netolický used his experience with water structures here because the water was part of the fortification.
- 6. Jakub Krčín • He hadn't completely finished his studies in water management at Charles University in Prague. In 1561 he entered the service of the Rosenbergs, thanks to the meeting Eva von Rosenberg. In 1569 he became regent of the Rosenberg estate. In these positions, he contributed to the economic prosperity of the Rosenberg estate. At first he did not get along with Petr Vok, so the Rosenberg ruler sent him to Prague, where he participated in the competition for the construction of an aqueduct at Prague Castle. He won this competition in the competition of Italian builders and the remains of his aqueduct are still visible at Prague Castle.

In 1571 he built the pond Nevděk (today's Svět), because of which he had demolished part of Třeboň. Since 1584, he had been building the largest Rožmberk pond for six years, located directly on the Lužnice River. In order to protect it, a new river was created, along with its construction, to transfer the flood flows of the Lužnice River to Nežárka.
