Water status elements in determining ecologically acceptable flow
Example of a catchment, pipes and discharge resulting from the operation of a small hydropower plant Achieving good ecological status and water abstraction are often seen as activities with conflicting objectives. The aim of the study was to determine whether, despite water abstraction from Alpine watercourses, we can achieve good ecological status and which pressure […]
Updating methodologies for assessing ecological status based on biological elements
Updating the methodologies for assessing the ecological status and classifying surface water bodies on the basis of biological quality elements, as drawn up in 2013 As part of surface water management, methodologies for assessing the ecological status of water bodies must be developed for each biological quality element (BQE). Methodologies for assessing ecological status were […]
Identification of fish-type watercourses in the Dinaric and Po Valley hydro-ecoregions
With a view to developing methodologies for assessing ecological status in accordance with the Water Framework Directive in Slovenia, we have identified fish types in watercourses within the Dinaric and Po Plain hydro-ecoregions. The fish types were identified on the basis of similarities in fish communities. The description of fish communities (fish types) serves as […]
