Adapting to the impacts of climate change in the Vipava Valley
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 […]
