Adapting to the impacts of Climate Change in the Vipava Valley (LIFE ViVaCCAdapt)
Start date: Jul 1, 2016, End date: Jun 30, 2021,
Background
Agriculture is an important element of the regional economy of the Vipava valley. However, agricultural production has been substantially affected by climate change in the past decades, with higher temperatures, decreased precipitation, increased solar radiation and increased drought intensity all apparent. In particular, there has been an incr ...

Making society an active participant in water adaptation to global change (BEWATER)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2017,
Sustainable water management under climate change is an urgent challenge for the Euro-Mediterranean region. Future climate change projections estimate an increase in water scarcity and droughts in the region, causing substantial socioeconomic losses and environmental impacts.In this context, efforts are needed to strengthen public participation and embed a sense of responsibility within the societ ...

Conservation and management of freshwater wetlands in Slovenia (WETMAN)
Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Feb 1, 2015,
Background
In Slovenia, a lack of appropriate management over the last 50 years has led to wetland loss and degradation. During this period many wetland areas were modified and drainage systems were constructed, especially for agricultural land and forests. Between 1973 and 1991, more than 70 000 ha of lowlands were drained. In addition, flood control sch ...

Coordinated activities for management of of the river Isonzo/ Soča (CAMIS)
Start date: Jul 31, 2012, End date: Jan 30, 2015,
The catchment area of the River Soca is a cross-border nature and therefore requires consultation and coordination, which is formally defined in bilateral agreements. In substance, the project was divided into the analytical part of the research of river morphology and hydraulics (1 2D hydrodynamic model), the second part is devoted to the analysis of water quality, updating databases on the riv ...

Sustainable Integrated Management of International River Corridors in SEE Countries (SEE RIVER)
Start date: Sep 30, 2012, End date: Sep 29, 2014,
Rivers in SEE region are often threatened by unsustainable use, increasing human pressure, and problems of increased floods and droughts driven by climate change. Inhabitation of floodplain areas, hydropower utilization, navigation, gravel and sand extraction, unsustainable tourism etc. lead to changes in morphology, increased pollution, degradation of aquatic habitats, as well as land use conflic ...

Conservation of biodiversity of the Mura river in Slovenia (BIOMURA)
Start date: Oct 31, 2006, End date: Oct 31, 2011,
Background
The bed of the river Mura that flows through NE Slovenia is well preserved, especially in the middle and lower stream, where it is characterised by embankment erosion, deposition of the sand, flooding and side-channels. Deepening of the riverbed due to send accumulation behind the dams of hydropower stations in Austria, however, has resulted in ...

Today, as a result of rapid population growth, increased food requirements and proceeding urbanization, the area of agricultural land is rapidly declining and our oceans are over-fished. To meet future demands for food, there is need for innovative, space-saving, and ecological technologies in food production. Aquaponic is a sustainable food production method, which combines aquaculture of fish wi ...
