The project also includes the natural arrangement of the banks after the removal of concrete blocks and the establishment of habitats that will provide living conditions for aquatic and riparian organisms.The project is being carried out in dialogue with the residents of Koper. With the flatter banks of the riverbed they will gain a new green urban infrastructure and with the arrangement of the old Badaševica riverbed the occasional unpleasant smell will be eliminated. With the active automatic management of the sluice gates that will be built on the reservoir, they will be able to prevent the intrusion of salt water into the valleys of Pradisjola and thus protect agricultural land from salinization and protect the nature reserve Škocijanski zatok.The Recovery and Resilience Facility provided funding of EUR 964,000, while the total value of the investment was EUR 3.2 million. The project will be completed in the summer of 2026.Additional links:https://www.koper.si/obcina-in-drzava-skupaj-za-zascito-kopra-in-salare…https://www.gov.si/novice/2023-12-11-protipoplavni-ukrepi-na-porecju-ba…Top 100 recipients:Slovenian Water Agency, projects:Improving flood conditions in the Badaševica catchment areaUpgrading and upgrading of a dyke of the left bank of MuraLočica Letuš DPNEnsuring Flood Safety – Soča InterconnectorAnti-flood management in ŠentjurEstablishment of a monitoring centre – NaCeDravograd Flood Risk ReductionComprehensive hydrological-hydraulic study on the river basins of the Republic of Slovenia Construction of a reservoir on Črni potokSlovenian location framework.
