5.) restricted areas. These areas are industrially translated or may not be further condensed industrially from popular political areas. In the former case, it is the northern Bohemian textile region, whose predominantly unilateral development on the basis of the textile industry has led to a very strong sensitivity to the crisis. Although this space, as a unilaterally developed industrial area, would belong to the group of remodelling rooms, it must be excluded from an industrial unclassification, when the Czechism, which is particularly persistently seated there, is forced to emigrate in order to increase the pressure of the German ethnic border. From the same points of view, the restricted areas in West Bohemia were identified. Regardless of the above considerations, the other location factors, in particular the questions of water and energy procurement, remain. In the establishment of new industries in Bohemia and Moravia, the question of water supply and energy supply has to be examined in particular. Industries with a greater need for water or special requirements - in other words, the quality of the water as well as those which cause pollution of the floods by harmful waste water - are not eligible for Bohemia and Moravia. The protectorate is by nature a water-poor country. The watercourses are relatively water-poor according to the location in the area of the main watershed between the North Sea and Do- nau. The planning of extensive storage spaces in the Vltava and its neighbouring rivers presupposes that the water is not contaminated in any way. For this reason, the catchment area of Moldova was called a water reserve. In the Wittingau valley this also requires consideration for the extensive fish farming. At the Elbe and March, which are due to a water flow of 4 - 5 cbm/sec in dry times, the low water flow prohibits the installation of new industry with greater water requirements. Even more difficult is the supply of new industries with electrical energy. The energy consumption of existing industrial plants far exceeds domestic electricity production and can only be achieved by importing electricity from the southern part of the country.
