Technical tasks relating to the implementation of Slovenian regulations in the field of flood risk
Revision and amendment of the Flood Warning Map The Flood Warning Map (OPKp) and its role are defined in the Rules on the Methodology for Determining Areas at risk of flooding and associated erosion of inland waters and the sea, and on the method of classifying land into risk categories, Official Gazette of the Republic […]
ARSO’s expert support in procedures relating to spatial planning and the construction of buildings
Verification of the compliance of project documentation with the Methodological Guidelines and with the Regulation on the conditions and restrictions for spatial planning and the carrying out of activities The purpose of this task is to implement the provisions of the regulations in accordance with the Methodological Rules for the Designation of Areas at risk […]
Classification of flood-prone areas and identification of areas significantly affected by flooding in Slovenia
One of the key objectives of the preliminary flood risk assessment is to identify areas at significant risk of flooding at national level, for which more detailed hazard and risk maps, as well as risk reduction plans, are to be drawn up. As part of the preliminary assessment and analysis of future floods and their […]
Development of a methodology for assessing the ecological status and classifying lake water bodies on the basis of fish
To compare methodologies for assessing ecological status and classifying water bodies on the basis of fish, an intercalibration exercise was carried out in the countries of the Alpine GIG, involving methodologies from Austria (ALFI; Austrian Lake Fish Index), Italy (I-LFI; Italian Lake Fish Index), Germany (DELaFI_SITE; National Fish Assessment Method for Southern German Alpine Lakes) […]
Development of a methodology for assessing the ecological status of Dinaric watercourses based on benthic invertebrates
Development of a methodology for assessing the ecological status of Dinaric watercourses influenced by karst springs, based on benthic invertebrates, in accordance with the ‘hydromorphological alteration/overall degradation’ module
Preparation of technical guidelines for the implementation of the Floods Directive (2007/60/EC)
Update of the 2007 flood warning map published on the Environmental Atlas The flood hazard map (OPKp) and its role are defined in the Rules on the methodology for determining areas at risk of flooding and associated erosion of inland waters and the sea, and on the method of classifying land into risk categories, Official […]
Preparation and provision of technical guidance for the implementation of the Floods Directive (2007/60/EC)
Updating the integrated flood hazard map and the integrated flood hazard class map for publication in the Environmental Atlas, and the production of an integrated depth map for Q100 For the purposes of implementing the Regulation on the conditions and restrictions for carrying out activities and interventions in areas at risk of flooding and associated […]
Preparation and provision of technical guidance for the implementation of the Floods Directive (2007/60/EC)
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 ‘the Directive’) is intended to significantly improve the situation in this area by introducing the principle of preventive action in flood risk management, replacing the previous concept of ensuring a selected level […]
The relationship between stressors and communities of organisms in standing waters in Slovenia
One of the biological elements used to assess ecological status is the communities of benthic invertebrates. Owing to their widespread distribution and relative confinement to specific habitats, their high biodiversity and high sensitivity to various environmental factors, benthic invertebrates serve as good indicators of many changes in aquatic ecosystems – bioindicators. Whilst benthic invertebrates are […]
Erosion warning map
The Methodological Guidelines on Flood and Erosion Areas stipulate that the assessment of flood and erosion risk is shown on a flood and erosion hazard map, and that, on the basis of this map and the criteria set out in the regulations, the most significant risk and vulnerability areas are identified, for which more detailed […]
