Martinský. The State Geological institute of Dionyz Stur performs the State geological service in the field of geological research and exploration of the Slovak Republic territory. The recent abrupt changes in the economic conditions and mainly the requirements of the society in utilisation and dissemination of geological information have influenced also the Institute’s activities. Our efforts aim at most effective application of the geological research and explo- ration results in the economy, landscape potential as well as in the protec- tion and creation of the environment. In the year 2005 there occurred significant organizational changes in the scope of rationalization effectiveness of the carried out geological activities. On July 1, 2005 there was established the Division of Geology by merging former Divisions of Geological Mapping and Research, Envi- ronmental Geology and Raw Minerals. An important contribution to the performance of the State Geological institute of Dionyz Stur in 2005 there was a compilation of the digital geo- logical map of the Slovak Republic at 1:50 000 scale with attached leg- end, which offers a to-date geological background of the Slovak Republic territory; it has been made accessible in form of an interactive CD. The Digital Geologic Map serves as a basic layer at creation and de- Michal Kaličiak velopment of a complex information system in our Institute. Director The State Geological institute of Dionyz Stur has gained a long-term experience in collecting of information from various spheres of its profes- sional activities, at creation and administration of databases. However, these rather inhomogeneous information sources do not fully cope with the challenges of new tech- nologies administering and utilization. This gave a momentum to launch in 2005 the project “Geological Information System“ (GeoIS), which shall systematically integrate all relevant information sources in homogenized and technologically optimum form. In the field of geological research among the priorities of the State Geological institute of Dionyz Stur in 2005 belonged a complex and systematic geological in- vestigation of the Slovak Republic territory aimed at assessment, documenting and map depiction of the territory geological evolution and geological setting with broad application of special methods results from the fields of biostratigraphy, lithology, sedi- mentology, structural geology, isotope geology and specific analyses realized with electron microanalyzator. Regional geological research was focused on geological mapping and compila- tion of basic geological maps at 1:25 000 scale, which serve as a background for creation of regional geological maps at 1:50 000 scale. In 2005 the State Geological institute of Dionyz Stur was involved successfully in wide range of projects from the field of environmental geology. First of all this was a Partial Monitoring System of Environmental Geofactors; in addition there were solved projects of hydrogeological and engineering geological maps; research into raw minerals resources, etc.. There was successfully finished the project “Influence of Geological Factors upon the Life Quality”. In the 2005 the Division of Informatics provided its services in terms of collecting, storage, evidence, processing and making publicly available the information. Laboratory works in the scope of solved research projects were provided by ac- credited reference laboratory. Besides the above activities the SGUDS employees participated in solutions of a whole rank of other projects, the international ones included. Finally, I would like to thank all the SGUDS employees for their concerted effort in the year 2005 and the results achieved, which have contributed the Slovak geology progress.

Slight increase in emissions (releases from pollution sources into the immediate environment) in 1995 was related to increased consumption of natural gas. Decrease in 1996 was caused by a change to the emission factor that took into consideration the current level of equipment and technology of incineration processes. Reduction in solid fuel consumption since 1997 has led to a further decrease in NOx emissions. NOx emissions in 2001 dropped approximately by 50.8% when compared to 1990.

  • Flood Risk Assessment and Management in Slovakia
    River Basin Management VI 61 Flood risk assessment and management in Slovakia M. Zeleňáková Institute of Building and Environmental Engineering, Technical University of Košice, Slovakia Abstract In recent years, the growth of population and the diffusion of settlements over flood vulnerable areas have increased the impact of floods worldwide. Natural disasters such as floods have constituted a major problem in many countries worldwide. Floods have caused immense economic and social losses, mainly as a result of unplanned urbanization, uncontrolled population density and not strictly inspected construction by authorities. Flood damages that have arisen on watercourses and hydraulic structures on the territory of the Slovak Republic have been huge. The most affected area is the eastern part of Slovakia, where the most complex situation is in the Laborec, Topľa, Ondava, Torysa, Latorica and Hornád river basins in the recent years, mainly in 2010. This contribution presents flood risk assessment and management in these territories. Keywords: flood risk assessment, flood risk management, directive 2007/60/EC. 1 Introduction A new comprehensive approach on flood risk assessment and management on a European level has been triggered, especially after the large-scale flooding of 2002 in central Europe, with an estimated damage of 16.5 billion US$ (2002: 1 US$ = 1€). The European Commission issued a Communication about flood risk management [1] in 2004. This initiative was followed by the adoption by the European parliament and the council of Directive

  • Comparison of Sediment Quality in River Basins In
    E. Singovszka, M. Balintova Technical University of Kosice, Slovakia, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Institute of Environmental Engineering COMPARISON OF SEDIMENT QUALITY IN RIVER BASINS IN EASTERN SLOVAKIA © Singovszka E., Balintova M., 2017 The contamination of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems with heavy metals and other mining chemicals have been major environmental problems in many mining areas of the world. Industrial wastes, geochemical structure and metals mining form a potential source of metal contaminants in the aquatic environment especially in sediment. Monitoring sediment quality is one of the highest priorities in environmental protection policies. For better knowledge about migration, transformation behaviour and rules of heavy metals in sediment, it is necessary to make an accurate assessment of contamination level and extent at each site. The aim of this study is to assess the river sediment quality in the territory of East of Slovakia, representing the water basins of the rivers Hornad, Laborec, Torysa, Ondava and Topla. Sampling points were selected based on the current surface water quality monitoring network. Investigation was focused on heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Ni, Hg, As, Fe, Mn). The content of heavy metals reflected the scale of industrial and mining activities in a particular locality. The sediment quality was evaluated using potential ecological risk index for heavy metals concentrations in the samples. Key words: sediment, heavy metals, potential ecological risk index. Е.
