On October 23, 2024, we gathered at an educational event Nature-based Solutions (NBS) for water and sediment retention.
At the event, Mr. Matjaž Udovč from Izvor-R presented and discussed:
- Nature-based solutions (NBS) for water and sediment retention,
- Flood protection measures for the Rakova Jelša area along Barjanska Road and
- Goals for the placement of the southern outpost of GBL.
After the theoretical foundations were presented, a field visit to locations in the south of Ljubljana followed. Representatives from the Slovenian Environment Agency (ARSO), the Ljubljana Fire Brigade, Izvor-R Ltd., and the Protection and Rescue Department of the City of Ljubljana attended the event. Together, we explored the effectiveness and sustainability of the proposed solutions and opportunities for further development in this field.
