  • Uvodnik Uvodnik
    Uvodnik Uvodnik Kamnik je na tekmovanju Entente florale prvič sodeloval leta 2001. Da smo se v letošnjem letu ponovno odločili za sodelovanje je rezultat različnih dejavnikov, med katerimi je na prvem mestu želja in skrb za zagotavljanje visoke kakovosti bivanja v našem mestu. Kamničani smo tekmovanje vzeli za svoje, se priprav lotili temeljito in zavzeto, z namenom, da nadaljujemo z aktivnostmi, ki smo jih začeli v preteklih obdobjih ter se posvetimo novim nalogam. Zavedamo se, da je za zagotavljanje kvalitete bivanja v mestu po- trebnega veliko dela ter aktivno vključevanje različnih delov družbe, od posameznikov do družbenih organizacij. V okviru Odbora za pripravo na tekmovanje Entente florale smo združili predstavnike različnih organizacij, kot tudi zasebne iniciative in z veseljem smo ugotovili, da nam je vsem skupaj cilj enak: urejeno mesto v katerem živimo. Želimo si, da bi vsi s ponosom rekli: Moj Kamnik – moje mesto, mesto, ki ga imam rad! Kamnik v letošnjem letu praznuje 780-let od prve omembe v pisnih virih, zato je letošnje leto za nas še prav posebej slavnostno. Leto 2009 je za Kamnik leto izzivov, leto priložnosti, ki jih želimo izkoristiti v dobro mesta in njegovih prebivalcev. Ena pomembnejših priložnosti zagotovo predstavlja sodelovanje na evropskem tekmovanju v urejenosti okolja Entente florale in veseli smo, da je Kamnik ponovno dobil priložnost, da se predstavi evropski javnosti. Anton Tone Smolnikar Župan, vodja Odbora za pripravo na tekmovanje Entente florale Kamnik first took part in the Entente Florale international competition in 2001. Many different factors affected our decision to participate again this year but the enrolment was mostly based on our desire to provide a high quality of life in town.

  • Hydrological Analysis of High Waters and Flash Floods Occurred in September 2007 in Slovenia
    HYDROLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF HIGH WATERS AND FLASH FLOODS OCCURRED IN SEPTEMBER 2007 IN SLOVENIA Mira Kobold, Mojca Sušnik, Mojca Robič, Florjana Ulaga, Bogdan Lalić Environmental Agency of the Republic of Slovenia Vojkova 1b, Ljubljana, Slovenia [email protected] Abstract Heavy and abundant precipitation which captured the western, north-western and northern parts of Slovenia on 18 September 2007, caused quick rise of river discharges especially in the region of Baška grapa, Davča, the Cerkljansko and Škofja Loka hills. In that area the streams Selška Sora, Davča and Kroparica caused real destruction. The torrential streams and rivers flooded also in the region of Karavanke and foothills of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, Kranj and Domžale fields, the Tuhinj valley and extensive Celje region. The Savinja was high in the middle and lower stream. The discharges of the tributaries Hudinja and Ložnica exceeded 100- year return period. The Dravinja flooded in the middle and lower stream. The return period of flood was between 50 and 100 years. On the most affected area the peak discharges exceeded the periodical maximum discharges measured at the water stations. The Sava was high mostly because of the high tributaries of the Sora, Bohinjska Bistrica, Lipnica, Tržiška Bistrica, Kamniška Bistrica and Savinja. The return period of the flood wave was around 20 years. Besides flooding many landslides were triggered, what is usual for Slovenia at such hydrological situations. The result of this catastrophe was enormous economic damage and loss of six people's lives. Keywords: flash flood, precipitation, HEC-1 model, return period, hydrograph, runoff coefficient, September 2007.

  • Oskrba S Pitno Vodo V Občini Kamnik
    Razgledi OSKRBA S PITNO VODO V OBČINI KAMNIK Dušan Novak* Izvleček Na območju občine Kamnik je zabeleženih 52 vodovodnih sistemov. Med temi le tri upravlja komunalno podjetje, ostale pa oskrbujejo lokalni vodovodni odbori. V občini je skoraj 30.000 prebivalcev, od tega jih ima vodo in vodovod 82%. Poleg teh vodnih virov je v podnožju karbonatnih masivov Kamniških Alp še niz izdatnih izvirov, ki jih je treba zavarovati za potrebe bodoče oskrbe s pitno vodo. Zato potekajo raziskave njihovega zaledje. Za vse proučene vodne vire so bili izdelani predlogi za zavarovanje, v občinskem upravnem organu pa so bili doslej sprejeti le trije odloki. Na tem območju so trije vodonosniki. Ključne besede: oskrba z vodo, zavarovanje vodnih virov. WATER SUPPLY IN THE KAMNIK COMMUNE Abstract There are 52 water supply systems registered in the area of the Kamnik commune. Only three of them ai e managed by official public services, while the rest are main- tained by local water supply committees. Almost 30.000 inhabitants live in this com- mune, 82% of whom are supplied by water from these systems. Besides these water sources, there are, at the foothills of carbonate rocks of the Kamnik Alps, a series of abundant water springs which should be protected for the future needs of drinking water supply. To this puipose. investigations are in progress into researching their hinterland for water reserves. For all investigated water sources proposals have been elaborated for their protection, but only three decrees have been issued by the responsible communal administrative body, so far. Three aquifers can be found in this area.

  • Stories from the Foothills of the Kamnik Alps
    Slovenian LAGs Festival 2018 - Together for Rural Development Kamnik, September 7 and 8, 2018 Stories from the foothills of the Kamnik alps A tour of good practices in the area of the Heart of Slovenia Local Action Group Kamnik, Friday, 7 September 2018 In the second half of the Friday afternoon, we will take a bus ride from the Mekinje convent to the green Tuhinj Valley, which is most famous for the highest-lying spa in Slovenia. This was the spa that brought tourists to the valley, who not only welcome the spa's offer, but also other tourist offers in the local area. Lush mixed forests are calling for you to discover pre-Alpine villages. We will visit the Matevžuc Ecological Farm, where fruit and meat are processed. Following the presentation of activities, a tasting event of house products will take place. The farm received funds from the Heart of Slovenia Local Action Group and EU funds from the Rural Development Programme for the funding of various measures: for the young owners of farms, funding of measures 4.1, they also co-operate in the LAG collaboration operation Farm Open Days. In the framework of the LAG project, the cellar was sanitised and arranged for the presentation and tasting of the farm's produce. In addition, equipment for fruit processing was purchased. The tour of good practices will continue in one of the Alpine valleys, which was named after the Kamniška Bistrica river. In its 33 kilometre long bed, the torrential river has shaped many waterfalls and gorges. At the widest point of the valley, one can find the entrance station for the cable car to Velika planina.
