In the study the influence of the proposed small hydropower plant on aquatic assemblages proven to respond best to hydrological modification was inspected. A sheme of water abstraction criteria on river Radoljna was proposed, based on which dinamic hydrological conditions along selected section might be maintained and hence reference conditions...
In this work a proposition on upgrading of ecological status assessment methods, implemented in Slovenia by the Decree on surface water status and Rules on surface water status monitoring in 2009, was made. A harmonised proposition was suggested for all biological quality elements and water body categories in Slovenia.
Within this task AWB and HMWB, defined by the Rules on determing and classification for water bodies on surface water in Slovenia, were classified into existing or new ecological surface water types using existing or additional descriptors in accordance with Water Framework Directive. The suitability of AWB and HMWB classification...
In LIFE project we were using inovative approaches for rising public awareness on the importance of biodiversity loss of freshwater ecosystems. The key role of IzVRS was to create models for interactive demonstration of the river ecosystem meaning and functions where everyone can find the answer on: »What if I'm...
Climate change has different impact on individual regions and that is reason why we have to adapt to the climate changes on regional levels.
The project “Adriatic+: sharing marine and coastal cross management experiences in the Adriatic basin”, funded under the IPA Adriatic CBC Programme 2007-2013 – Targeted call on EUSAIR, refers to Priority: 2 - Natural and Cultural Resources and Risk Prevention – Measure 2.1 Protection and enhancement of the marine and coastal...
The adoption of the Natura 2000 Management Programme for the 2014–2020 financial period by the Slovenian government was the objective of the project. The programme was prepared under the project funded with the contribution of LIFE+ (a funding mechanism of the European Community). The project partners were the Institute for...
In our research the linkage between hydrological parameters and their changes and ecological status of water bodies, namely aquatic assemblages, was investigated in small alpine rivers of Slovenia. Hydrological regime changes included especially water abstraction due to small hydropower plant operation. Based on our findings we proposed a model for...
Directive 2007/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2007 on the Assessment and Management of Flood Risks (hereinafter referred to as the Directive) introduced the principle of preventive action in flood risk management, replacing the previous concept of ensuring the chosen level of safety with...
The purpose of the task is the implementation of provisions in accordance with the Rules on Methodology to Define Flood Risk Areas and Erosion Areas Connected to Floods and Classification of Plots into Risk Classes (Official Gazette of the RS, No. 60/07) and the Decree on Conditions and Limitations for...
