Work on the Status improvement of the wetland condition of the Klátovské rameno NPR on the territory of SKUEV0075 project was summarized in a magazine about life at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava – “The protected Klátovské rameno is coming back to life thanks to the work of our hydrotechnicians.”
The article described a planned unique large-scale experiment. Hydrotechnicians performed point infiltration tests to measure the infiltration capacity of the studied area. “In order to avoid the risk of water spilling outside the Klátovské rameno during filtration, we proposed to supplement the point measurements with a large-scale infiltration experiment, the task of which would be to determine the exact direction of groundwater flow and quantify the amount of seepage,” adds Professor Šoltész. A mathematical model of water flow was developed for the large-scale experiment. If implemented, it would be a unique experiment, the first of its kind on such a scale. A system of observation probes would be installed in the area to monitor groundwater levels and measure flow rates to verify that the subsidized water is flowing in the desired direction. Since the large-scale experiment is both extensive and financially demanding, its implementation requires an ongoing grant and the consent of the owners of the land concerned.
