Effective disaster risk management would require the analysis and comparison of relevant risks potentially affecting a territory, also considering possible interactions among them (e.g., cascading effects). Modelling such may be complex, increasing challenge to perform exhaustive multi-risk assessment. Independent analyses are often performed for multiple in given area. However, as usually different risks, methodologies impact metrics adopted, results single-risk not comparable. The problem...
The aim of this study was to compare the rainfall characteristics and erosivity between two locations in Danube River Basin, Hydrological Open Air Laboratory (HOAL) agricultural catchment Austria an experimental plot located urban park Ljubljana, Slovenia. variability were investigated using 5-year-long measurements (2014 – 2018) (amount, duration intensity rainfall) drop size distributions (diameter, velocity median volume diameter drops). Despite having same...
Abstract Rainfall interception process is an important part of the biohydrological cycle, in which vegetation plays role by regulating amount and dynamics rainfall reaching ground. In this paper, event-based analysis performed to discuss influence on dynamic temporal response soil volumetric water content (VWC) upper layer during events. More specifically, six events that occurred between 19 November 2021 30 June 2022, characterized different hydro-meteorological conditions, are analyzed...
Floods are among the most frequent and deadliest natural disasters, magnitude frequency of floods is expected to increase. Therefore, effects different flood risk management options need be evaluated. In this study, afforestation, permeable concrete implementation, use dry wet retention reservoirs were tested as possible for urban reduction in a case study involving Glinščica river catchment (Slovenia). Additionally, effect was investigated at larger (catchment) scale. Results showed that...
The hydrological process heterogeneity in karst catchments makes collecting sufficient information about the system properties extremely difficult. Consequently, parameterization and application of currently available modeling approaches is highly uncertain karst. We implemented a modified dynamical approach explored possibilities to analyze, simulate characterize springs sinking streams heterogeneous Ljubljanica river catchment Slovenia. discharge sensitivity functions were used hydrographs...
Forest vegetation is a very topical research subject as part of nature-based solutions for flood protection, soil erosion, water quality improvement, etc. However, limited capabilities such measures are rarely investigated. Therefore, in this paper, study on the interplay hydrometeorological and seasonal forest role regulating nitrate‑nitrogen (NO3-N) flushing from forested, torrential catchment presented. For 43 identified rainfall events it was found that there no statistically significant...
During the routing of coarse particles in sedimentary environments, are subjected to abrasion, leading mass loss and changes particles’ morphology. The become more spherical, rounded, smooth. Here, (quarried dolomite) morphological evolution three shape aspects (form, roundness, texture) decreases obtained two sets experiments different setups presented. Abrasion were carried out cycles. Between cycles, parameters losses tracked. was investigated with consideration energy power apparatuses...
The first international summer school HydRoData for Master and PhD students was held in September 2023 at the University of Ljubljana, Faculty Civil Geodetic Engineering. organised by UNESCO Chair on Water-related Disaster Risk Reduction, Slovenia Slovenian national IHP programme. focus data hydrology. programme topics included acquisition, manipulation analysis, curation, communication, FAIR principles, introduction to R programming teaching-learning process structured as a combination...
Hydrological measurements, particularly those conducted on paired plots, provide valuable tools for comparing the water balance of different surface covers. Hydro-meteorological measurements have been carried out in University Sopron Botanical Garden since 1925. Conducting long-term provides a good opportunity studying forested areas. The proximity educational facilities allows frequent regular equipment checks, and student participation. A hydrological paired-plot experiment site was...
Here we present the main activities of an ongoing project aiming at effective sediment management in run-of-river reservoirs. Climate change is reflected mainly a gradual increase temperatures, which result longer dry periods, frequently followed by heavy rainfalls, causing increased intensity and occurrence floods erosion processes. The changed hydrological conditions require proper adjustments water practices. Construction reservoirs, used for hydropower generation, offers possibility to...
Rainfall intercepted by vegetation is, in many regions, an important part of the hydrological water cycle. Part rainfall evaporates into atmosphere, and throughfall stemflow contribute to runoff generation, control soil moisture connectivity patterns affect erosion. The question how changing climate land cover conditions impact interception, raindrop microstructure, their erosive power still needs be better understood. This presentation introduces main aims a bilateral research project...
Optical sensors are widely used for turbidity measurements in suspended sediment concentration studies. When conducting continuous of the field with optical sensors, results determined according to calibration curve (relationship between and readings from sensors). The is developed based on samples material present and/or around investigated stream. data useful water-quality-related investigations as well evaluating amounts transported (flushed, eroded) catchments load. particle sizes depend...
Precipitation is one of the essential parts hydrological cycle. Regardless important role that precipitation plays for life on Earth, in extreme conditions, such as high intensities and amounts, it can negatively affect various ecosystem services (e.g., flood protection, agriculture). spatially highly variable. Traditionally, precipitation, with rain most common type, measured over very small surface areas (of a few square decimetres) by gauges or sensors. However, reliable representative...
Ecohydrological cycle in addition to common hydrological components such as rainfall, runoff and evaporation, strongly focuses also on ecological elements, i.e. elements of the nature their role water cycle. As we have addressed two natural balance study plot: vegetation (trees) through rainfall interception process soil infiltration moisture dynamics. The plot covers small urban park city Ljubljana, Slovenia includes opening with low-cut grass, group birch trees pine trees. There are...
