In Nové Heřminovy, Czechia, the state has initiated the expropriation of land as part of a project to build a dam intended to manage water resources and mitigate flooding risks in the region. This decision, which comes after extensive planning and community discussions, aims to enhance infrastructure and improve the overall safety of local residents.

The expropriation process is expected to be met with mixed reactions from the local community, where some residents may face the loss of their property. Government officials assert that the benefits of the dam, such as improved irrigation and flood control, outweigh the inconveniences caused by the expropriation. The state has outlined plans to provide support to affected residents, ensuring that fair compensation is available.
