Catalogue of Flood Events in Slovenia

For the purposes of operational hydrological forecasting and hydrological analyses, the Institute for Water of the Republic of Slovenia is establishing a database called the Catalogue of Flood Events in Slovenia. The Catalogue of Flood Events will include data on surface water flood events from various professional and other reliable sources, specifically from the first accessible source and up to the last recorded flood.

ASSESSMENT OF THE ACTUAL STATE OF THE INNER MURA SECTION

The aim of this study was to analyse the hydrological and hydromorphological status of the interior section of the Mura River between Radenci and Gibina and to make a comparison between the water levels of the groundwater at Mursko polje and at Prekmursko polje as well as to compare the changes in the Mura River’s water level to those of the groundwater.

ARRANGEMENTS OF THE PROBLEMS OF THE ACTUAL STATE OF THE MURA RIVER BORDER SECTION

Determining a concept for addressing the existing state at the border section of the Mura River is needed so that the strategic decision-making and planning of improvements can be integrated with the planning of measures to achieve the water and environmentally-oriented objectives, including adaptation to climate change with additional planned increases in the share of renewable energy from hydro-electric power.

ASSESSMENT OF THE ACTUAL STATE OF THE MURA RIVER BORDER SECTION

Making an expert assessment of the change trend in the status of the water body at the border section of the Mura River (dredging (morphological changes of the water body), decrease of the surface of the Mura River and of the Apaško polje groundwater (hydrological changes) after the cross-sectional year of 2002 (Basic water management regulation of the border section of the Mura River – Standing Slovenian-Austrian Commission for the Mura River)), making expert groundwork for the positions of the Republic of Slovenia within the Standing Slovenian-Austrian Commission for the Mura River regarding the determination of the status of the water body at the border section of the Mura River and making expert groundwork for a proposal of measures to improve the status of the water body at the border section of the Mura River that are coordinated between the neighbouring countries of Slovenia and Austria at the Standing Slovenian-Austrian Commission for the Mura River.
