Evaluation of the impact of ecological additives on the hydrophysical and physicochemical properties of soils
Hodnotenie vplyvu ekologických prídavkov na hydrofyzikálne a fyzikálno-chemické vlastnosti pôd

Ing. Vitková Justína PhD. |
| Annotation: | Aim of the project will be to analyse the impact of ecological additives on hydrophysical and physicochemical properties of soils. The modifiers will be biochar, biochar modified with ammonium hydroxide, and biochar coated with hydrogel. Production and characterization will be the responsibility of Poland. The soils with various structures (sandy, silty, and clay) will be obtained by Slovakia. Poland will analyse physicochemical and sorption properties of soils before and after modification. Slovakia will test modified and unmodified soils for changes in hydrophysical properties. Results will be an excellent source of information on solving environmental problems related to improving soil quality. |
IHP-IX Regional cooperation of the Danube countries

RNDr. Miklánek Pavol CSc. |
| Annotation: | Anotácia (EN) In 1971, the hydrologists of 8 Danube Countries launched on a voluntary basis a regional hydrological cooperation aiming to produce consistent hydrological information about the whole Danube Catchment with an area of 817,000 km². Since 1987, this cooperation has been carried out in the framework of the International Hydrological Programme (IHP) of UNESCO, so far under the coordination of the IHP National Committees of Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary. The cooperation of the Danube countries within framework of the IHP of UNESCO is based on the one hand on project work and on the other on regular conferences. The aim of the conferences is to serve as a forum for discussion and exchange of views among the specialists involved. |
Assessment of suitability of hydrogel based on lignin for protecting Polish soils against climate change and pollution
Posúdenie vhodnosti hydrogélu na báze lignínu na ochranu poľskej pôdy pred klimatickou zmenou a znečistením
Knowledge transfer on aquatic ecosystem accidental pollution within the climate change to Georgia

| Annotation: | The project is focused on pollution accidents from the industry, mining activities and solid waste landfills, taking into account the impact of the climate change on the surface water. Such pollution affects considerable the surface water ecosystems and also the inhabitants due to impact on the ground water as the source of drinking water. The project proposal is based on the principles defined in the EU Directives as Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2000 establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy (WFD) and Directive 2004/35/CE of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 on environmental liability with regard to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage (ELD). The severity of pollution accidents is visible around the many regions. The project will contribute to fill up the gaps to change the current reactive approach, dealing with damages caused by pollution accidents to acting preventively for potential next accidents in Georgia and contribute to distinguishing the impact of the climate change on the surface water conditions (low flows and higher water temperature). Furthermore, cooperation improvement between authorities is key to more efficient response to surface water pollution problems. The project also aims to increase public awareness on surface water ecosystem protection. |
REACTION - Navigating the Risks of Hydroclimatic Extremes for Freshwater Ecosystem Services in Forest Landscapes
Riadenie rizík ekosystémových funkcií v zalesnených územiach, súvisiacich s hydroklimatickými extrémami
| Duration: |
1.3.2025 - 29.2.2028 |
| Program: |
Horizon Europe |
| Project leader: |
RNDr. Holko Ladislav PhD. |
| Annotation: | The project will evaluate, using a new approach, threats to ecosystem functions and services of forested areas by hydroclimatic extremes (heat waves or cold weather, droughts, floods, high precipitation) and complex events (simultaneous or consecutive occurrence of several extremes). Through the harmonisation of data from different parts of Europe and innovative modelling approaches, the correlations between statistically rare events and ecosystem services will be simulated and evaluated. The aim of the project is to assess the risks that such events pose to ecosystem services and to develop strategies to minimize the impact of risks. |
Water temperature simulation during summer low flow conditions in the Danube basin, phase II.
Simulácia teploty vody v tokoch v povodí rieky Dunaj počas letných nízkych prietokov, fáza II.

RNDr. Pekárová Pavla DrSc. |
| Annotation: | The project is oriented on long-term variability and long-term trends of water temperature of selected rivers in different regions of Danube basin (high mountains, highlands, lowlands) and along the Danube River. Multiple regression technique will be used for analysis of relations between water temperature and influencing factors (low and high discharge conditions, increasing atmospheric temperature, anthropogenic activity in basin, etc.). The multiregresion simulation and stochastic forecasting models (Box Jenkins models, ARIMA, SARIMA) of water temperature will be developed for selected rivers. These models will be used for simulation of the water temperature of selected rivers according to different discharge, and air temperature scenarios. One of the expected results is the scientific base for method of water quality classification according the water temperature of water bodies in Danube basin for implementation of WFD 2000/60/EC. The results of the project will be summarized in common monograph of the project team. |
