Living Water – From Biodiversity to the Tap
As part of the LIFE project, we used innovative approaches to draw public attention to the loss of biodiversity in inland water ecosystems. IzVRS played a key role in designing and producing models for an interactive display of the importance and functions of the river ecosystem and the life within it, so that everyone could […]
The influence of the hydromorphological characteristics of Slovenia’s watercourses on benthic invertebrate communities
Hydromorphological characteristics of watercourses in Slovenia (Bloščica, Kokra, Radovna) In recent decades, greater attention has been paid to changes in hydromorphological characteristics in the management of running water ecosystems. To establish sustainable management of running water ecosystems, it is important to have a good understanding of the links between natural and altered river habitats and […]
FLOOD CONDITIONS in the Bolsk River catchment area – current situation
A hydrological study of high water events was carried out for the Bolsk River catchment area, determining the ‘actual’ maximum discharges and high-water waves with return periods of 10, 20, 50, 100 and 500 years at certain cross-sections of the Bolsk River and its tributaries. For the purposes of hydraulic modelling, input hydrographs are provided […]

A study to determine the ecologically acceptable flow rate for water abstraction for the Cinkarna plant on the River Hudinja
A study to determine the ecologically acceptable flow for water abstraction for the Cinkarna plant on the River Hudinja, in accordance with Article 8 of the Regulation on the criteria for determining, and the methods for monitoring and reporting, ecologically acceptable flow The affected section of the existing water abstraction and the weir on the […]
A study of the impact of the planned water abstraction for the small hydropower plant on the Radoljna River on the ecological status
A study of the impact of the planned water abstraction for a small hydroelectric power station (SHP) on the Radoljna River on the ecological status
A habitat suitability study to support the determination of Qes for the target fish species, the huchen and the Soča trout
The aim of the project was to determine, for the Hubelj stream in Ajdovščina, within the area designated for the abstraction of process water for the company Fructal d.o.o., to determine the water flow that must be maintained in the stream to ensure suitable habitat conditions for the target species, the brook lamprey and the […]
Action Plan for Flood Protection in the Vipava River Basin and the Development of Economic Activities
Action Plan for Flood Protection in the Vipava River Basin and the Development of Economic Activities Related to Water Use and Protection The aim of the project was to develop project solutions for comprehensive flood safety measures in areas significantly affected by flooding (OPVP) in the Vipava river basin, which also present a challenge for […]
