One of the most common disciplines in a business or economic project is timing and resource review. Despite the frequency of use, the level of sophistication is not high enough to maintain its level of importance. Exceeding deadlines and non-compliance with contractual costs is more than common. Moreover, there are projects where uncertainties are a naturally accompanying phenomenon. Research projects, implementation of solutions in a time-limited situation, or in an environment of limited knowledge creates risk. Any project proposal faces future realization risks when its planning management does not know with certainty where the current risks and uncertainties may come from. Decision-making, risk management dynamics, and simulations have developed in recent decades into an erudite and useful discipline. The aim is to indicate how much of the time–cost schedule proposal is stable, controllable, and economically feasible. The approach is based on the idea that modern resource scheduling requires nonlinear dynamic calculating models and simulations. The methodology presented is based on the dynamics of underlying physical and economic processes that form a spatial pattern of a time series. The article’s objective is devoted to the early indication of a dynamic project schedule’s instability and predisposition to bifurcation and chaos. In other words, the aim is to show not only what will happen but how diverse and damaging the project may become in the future.

“…However, 578,000 inhabitants of the Czech Republic still have no secured supply of drinking water from a water supply connection. There are hundreds of water supplies with insufficient drinking water quality or a poor technical or operational quality of the supply system [27,28]. The third significant group of issues concerning the availability of drinking water is connected to the capacity of the present water supply infrastructure and the possibilities of its development in municipalities where new housing construction is taking place and the number of inhabitants is growing.…”

Repeatedly occurring droughts in the Czech Republic in previous years have heightened the need to answer questions concerning the provision of drinking water in small municipalities in the context of their development. The goal of the research was to assess what mutual relationships exist between insufficient drinking water supply and the socio-economic level of municipalities with less than 2000 inhabitants. The basis of the study is formed by data collected via a questionnaire survey of the mayors of 2110 municipalities. For the purposes of the analysis, the Drinking Water Supply Threat Index (DWSTI) composite indicator was established. Subsequently, the effect of selected factors on DWSTI was determined via correlation and regression analysis, and results were compared for two size groups of municipalities indicate water supply problems. The digging of new wells for individual needs is seen to be the most significant signal of problems. The absence of water supply infrastructure results in a heightening of the socio-economic deprivation of small municipalities, as it limits new building and becomes a limitation to their development. A solution is possible based on regional or trans-regional financial and managerial support of development together with an active approach on the part of municipalities.

“…These elements include, for example, polders, infiltration basins, bodies of water (lakes, ponds, fountains, streams), green walls, green roofs, rain gardens, infiltration paving, and any combinations thereof [6,[9][10][11]. The integration of blue-green infrastructure into the infrastructure of a territory is an extension of the current access to rainwater, i.e., it allows rainwater to be soaked on the same land where the building is located (it is built), or it involves the addition of soaking with a retention device, or this water is drained into the watercourses using storm sewers [23].…”

The aim of this contribution is to present the R-WIM (Rainwater Information Management) tool, which was created based on an extensive database of territory parameters, weather, surface runoff, etc., and in accordance with the requirements of municipalities. This tool was created especially for the purpose of identifying places where it is appropriate to implement elements of blue-green infrastructure. This tool was created on the basis of the smart urbido s.r.o. software 2.0, which allows working with a wide range of graphic and non-graphic information so that it is possible to link them together functionally and computationally, and to model the necessary spatial phenomena within the environment of selected cities of the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic.
