  • Prospects of rehabilitation of the Vogršček dam as a self suficient system [Elektronski vir]
    Kryžanowski, Andrej ; Džamastagić, Ester ; Humar, Nina, gradbeništvo, 1975-
    The Vogršček reservoir is located in the south-western part of the Vipava Valley, close to the border with Italy. The reservoir that was built in 1989 is mainly intended for irrigation, along with ... flood control and groundwater recharge. The design volume was 8.5 hm3, which should suffice for irrigation of 3,500 ha of agricultural land; however, the development of the irrigation system over the past years did not meet the goals set forth, and nowadays, the irrigation pipeline covers only about 1,000 ha of land. Since the detection of a leakage under the dam in 2007 the irrigation pipeline decommissioned and temporary lowering of water level in the reservoir was ordered, due to the risk of internal erosion of the dam. The water supply was organized via bottom outlet, but the farmers often complain about the inadequate water quality (low temperature and significant content of suspended particles). In addition, the costs of irrigation water supply are rising due to the limited operation. However, due to the previously relatively poor exploitation of the water source and the problem of an uneconomical system during lower water levels in the reservoir, some ideas about the construction of a small HPP and establishment of a self-sufficient system have emerged. ......
