The aim of the project is to identify critical places in the cultural landscape, where human activities prevail over natural ones, which are most vulnerable to flash floods. In doing so, we recognise the ecological and economic risk and, of course, the potential threat to human life and health.
The basic objective of the project is to identify the so-called Natural and Landscape Capital as an aggregate of natural and socio-economic resources and potentials, while it is necessary to further define these according to their suitability for human use and the limits to such use.
In cooperation with Kaufland, the analysis of transport accessibility, the suitability of the site in relation to the population, competition and the suitability of the site in relation to the economic potential was addressed. At the same time, procedures such as a spatial interaction model with catchment area delineation and an econometric model using Google Trends with resulting sales estimates were applied.
The aim of the project was to create a set of technical means, tools, data and measures that will contribute to a more efficient decision-making process and crisis management communication, and enable monitoring, evaluation and management of emergencies and crisis situations .
The aim of the project was to produce basic information for landscape-ecological planning, including the production of USES documents based on the services and data of the European COPERNICUS programme for monitoring of the environment and security.
The subject of the project was the development of a universal procedure and supporting tools for the purpose of elaboration of MUSES.
The aim of the project was to elaborate individual nature and landscape protection documentation (RÚSES) in accordance with Act No. 543/2002 Coll. on nature and landscape protection as amended for 42 selected districts.
The task evaluated the manifestations of pollution in the DPZ images. Both temporal and spectral changes at individual sites were evaluated. In addition to the DPZ images, the geostatistical parameters affecting the spread of pollution to groundwater were refined and used to calculate a pollution spread model. In addition to the above, 3D models of the hydrogeological environment were constructed at selected sites.
On the basis of mathematical modelling of the impact of scenarios of measures in the basins (560 profiles) on the peak flow and design flood wave caused by causal precipitation with a probability of recurrence of 100 years, the effectiveness of natural measures in forests, agricultural land and urbanised areas was evaluated and the need for implementation of technical measures proposed in the flood risk management plans of individual sub-basins of the Slovak Republic was demonstrated in order to meet the objectives of Article 2.1.1 of Regulation (EC) No. 1 of the Flood Risk Assessment and Management Directive - to reduce the adverse effects of floods on human health, the environment, cultural heritage and economic activity.
Development of a Web GIS application containing several GIS and modelling tools for the operational solution of water management tasks, which serves as the main tool for testing mapping, analytical and reporting services integrated into the "TIS" portal of the Slovak Water Management Company.

Within the framework of the project, the nature and landscape protection documentation (RÚSES) was comprehensively processed in accordance with Act No. 543/2002 Coll. on nature and landscape protection as amended for individual districts - Spišská Nová Ves, Žiar nad Hronom, Turčianske Teplice, Svidník, Ružomberok, Poprad, Tvrdošín.
The aim of the project was the development of an expert operational system for the determination of hydrological and climatic design variables for flood protection of towns and villages in the Slovak Republic.
Within the framework of the project, in cooperation with partners NLC-Zvolen and ŠGÚDŠ Bratislava, a comprehensive complex simulation and modelling tool was developed, which includes tools and an extensive database of input geographic data for rainfall-runoff modelling, erosion modelling and pollution propagation, adapted to Slovak physical-geographical conditions and providing extensive possibilities for assessing and predicting changes in the behaviour of the entire catchment system depending on natural and anthropogenic influences. The modelling tool has been used in several projects and tasks (e.g. Hydrofor (HUSKROUA/1101/262), National Forestry Centre, SVP - Assessment of the potential impact of existing and proposed preventive measures in the catchment on the achievement of the objectives of the flood risk management plan - modelling of rainfall-runoff processes and hydrological response of the catchment to defined scenarios).
The subject of the delivery was a fully functional stand-alone software - geographic information system, capable of visualizing, managing, creating and analyzing geographic data with the possibility of working with geographic network type data to provide IT support for waste management. Based on the use of the information of the collection information system, i.e. the precise quantification and spatial localisation of waste in all procedural stages of collection, it is possible, in cooperation with GIS technologies, to carry out a detailed and qualitatively more valuable spatial analysis of the generation and treatment of waste and to optimally manage the entire system by evaluating the current state of the location of points of interest and optimising it, by implementing a dispatcher workstation and by integrating it with other components of the municipal IS.

• Establishing a biodiversity conservation strategy based on the protection of REPGES
In cooperation with KVHK SvF STU Bratislava, a tool (distributed hydrological model) was developed to model hydrological processes in catchments without observation of hydrological elements. The conceptual structure of several existing hydrological models was used as a basis for the development of the model. Existing solutions were modified to be suitable for modelling runoff from precipitation and snowmelt in our physical-geographical conditions. Combining physical and empirical relationships, we modeled the following hydrologic processes: precipitation, snow accumulation and snowmelt, interception, accumulation in surface depressions, surface runoff, infiltration, evapotranspiration, percolation, hypodermal runoff, baseflow, and water balance in the root and saturated zones.
