Relevance of the Action (max 4 pages) Catastrophic floods endanger lives and cause human tragedy as well as heavy economic losses. Floods are natural phenomena but through the right measures we can reduce their likelihood and limit their impacts. In addition to economic and social damage, floods can have severe environmental consequences, for example when installations holding large quantities of toxic chemicals are inundated or wetland areas destroyed. The coming decades are likely to see a higher flood risk in Europe and greater economic damage. Between 1998 and 2004, Europe suffered over 100 major damaging floods. Severe floods in 2005 further reinforced the need for concerted action. Since 1998 floods in Europe have caused some 700 deaths, the displacement of about half a million people and at least €25 billion in insured economic losses. The August 2008 storms were described as the worst in over two centuries and led to devastating flooding in some of the most impoverished parts of Ukraine. 140 municipalities and cities were hit by flooding in Slovakia 2002. Over 2,970 houses were inundated, 560 of which were subject to heavy damage. An area of 8,678 hectares was submerged. The cost of the damage in terms of infrastructure and farmland has been estimated at Sk 1.6 billion or € 36 million. Estimation of potential damages caused by flood events in 2002: ▪ Potential damages in Ukraine 9,4 *106 EUR, ▪ Potential damages in Slovakia 954.9 *106 EUR Floods and flooding on the rivers of Transcarpathia place from 3 to 8 times a year, but for the last 70 years (1941, 1947, 1957, 1974, 1978, 1979, 1992, 1993, 1998, 2001 and 2008) in Transcarpathia they had extreme character.

  • Lexikální (Mikro)Dialektologie Užské Romštiny*
    | Michael Beníšek1 Lexikální (mikro)dialektologie užské romštiny* Lexical (micro-)dialectology of Uzh Romani Abstract This article is a dialectological study of the vocabulary of local Romani varieties that are spoken in the territory of the former Uzh County in the present-day Slovak– Ukrainian borderland. Uzh Romani is presented as a heterogeneous dialect area consisting of two regions: the Western Uzh region in Slovakia and the Eastern Uzh region in Ukraine. The study shows that the whole area is lexically part of a dialect continuum of North Central Romani and specifically of its eastern macro-area, while it is also characterised by dialect-specific features. The main focus of the article is a description of the lexical variability within the Uzh area. The study argues that the major differences between the Western Uzh and Eastern Uzh regions are due to the influence of different contact languages on both sides of the border. Moreover, we can observe that the Eastern Uzh region is lexically more conservative than the Western Uzh region, although there are some lexically conservative varieties even in the Western Uzh region. Furthermore, the article discusses the lexical variation within both regions and mentions examples of isoglosses that cross the national border. By considering lexical archaisms, the study also addresses the dynamics of the vocabulary and gives examples of inherited words that have become either locally or generally obsolete or even extinct. Key words dialectology, language contact, lexicology, North Central Romani, Romani, Slovak-Ukrainian borderland, Uzh dialect area Jak citovat Beníšek, M. 2020.

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.

  • Danube Facts and Figures the Slovak Republic
    Danube Facts and Figures: Slovakia Danube Facts and Figures The Slovak Republic (March 2007) General Overview The Slovak Republic is located in Central Europe and shares borders with Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Ukraine. The country covers 49,034km 2 and nearly all of this area – 47,084km2 or 96% of the country – lies in the Danube River Basin. Slovakia has been a signatory state to the Danube River Protection Convention since 1994, and has been a Party to the Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes since 1999. The Slovak Republic joined the European Union in 2004. Topography A major part of the Slovak territory is located in the Carpathian Mountains, but almost one quarter of the country is formed by lowlands. The Vienna Basin extends into Slovakia from the west, the Pannonian Plain from the southwest and the Great Danubian Basin from the southeast. These lowlands form part of the ecological region known as the Hungarian Lowlands. Precipitation, climate and water flow The climate of Slovakia is influenced by its location in a temperate zone. There are several types of climate regions within the country – from cold mountain (along the upper Váh River) to warm dry regions with moderate winters and more sunlight in the south. The long-term average temperature varies from 0-10 degrees, according to the region. The long-term average annual precipitation ranges from 2,000mm.y-1 along the upper Váh River to 500 mm.y-1 in the south along the Bodrog and Danube Rivers.
