BIP Erasmus+ autumn school - Sediments of water reservoirs
22.09.2025
The aim of the autumn school is to determine the sediment source in the water reservoir, make a design of their possible use or make a design to decrease the sediment transport in the catchment. The students’ task will be to create a catchment, identify the potential sediment sources in the reservoir, calculate the erosion rate, determine the current volume of sediments, design the possible sediment use and design the erosion control measures in the catchment to decrease the sediment transport. Online and individual work: 6-19 October 2025. On site/face-to-face part: 20-24 October 2025.
The area of interest is water reservoir Blatne and its catchment. It is situated in the wester Slovakia between the municipality Senkvice and Blatne. The catchment consists of urban areas, forest and agricultural land which is actively used. The water reservoir itself is used for intensive fish production, water ski, and potentially it can be used for the irrigation (there is an unuse pump station).
