The article analyzes the portrayal of the Kolpa as a border river in the leading Slovenian liberal newspaper Slovenski narod from 1868 to 1918. A border river is understood both in terms of the ...political concept of a border river and in terms of a natural border in a landscape. The differences between these two concepts can occur over long historical periods and can change significantly (e.g. due to floods, changes in the riverbed and the loss or acquisition of the status of a border river). In the period examined, the Kolpa formed an internal border between the Hungarian and Austrian parts of the Habsburg Monarchy. In addition, since the Late Middle Ages it has been a political border between Carniola and Croatia. The article analyzes the following aspects: a) the Kolpa as a border and a political concept, b) the management of the Kolpa (construction and maintenance of bridges, traffic bans, and restrictions), c) the Kolpa as a dangerous river, and d) border disputes.
This paper presents a qualitative approach for assessing land-use pressures on the water resources of a transboundary Dinaric karst catchment of the Kupa River in Southeast Europe. Spatial analyses ...of the water quality indices for surface water and groundwater were carried out in a GIS environment, as well as a detailed assessment of man-made hazards based on recommendations of COST Action 620. The produced maps provide an insight into the qualitative status of water resources at a regional scale by indicating areas of potential negative impacts of land use through the identification of point and diffuse sources of pollution. Higher values of the water quality indices for surface water and groundwater are observed in lowland areas, karst plateaus and poljes, where the impacts of anthropogenic activities such as agriculture and quarries take place on karstified permeable carbonate rocks. Hazard assessment showed how transport infrastructure induces a low hazard level. Settlement areas without proper sewerage systems impose moderate hazard levels, while direct wastewater discharges into groundwater and waste illegally disposed in karst swallow holes and caves located near settlements were classified as having high hazard levels. The applied methods proved to be suitable even in challenging karst environments where the complex properties and structure make the exploration and monitoring of groundwater resources difficult and scarce.
Boiss. is reported as a new and unexpected finding for the Slovene flora. The species was found in three collections stored in the Herbarium LJU from south-east Slovenia, in the Kolpa river valley ...bordering Croatia. All plants thrived under overhanging dolomite rocks. On account of an earlier misidentification, the respective plant community had been described as the association

Within the frame of hydrogeological investigations for the substitution of water supply plant Dolski potok dye tests have been made on two of the sinking brooks.The brooks sinking at the southern ...borderland of Šibje hill between Mozelj and Knežja Lipa have been color traced. The dyed water reappeared in the resurgence of Šumetac on the river Kolpa after eleven resp. three days.
3 . julija 1971 je na metliškem kopališču potekala velika turistično-zabavna prireditev Noč na Kolpi. Na odru, ki je bil postavljen na vodi in s kopnom povezan z lesenim mostičkom, je nastopilo kar ...nekaj znanih imen tedanje estrade. Največji vtis na številno občinstvo pa je pustila hrvaška igralka Nela Eržišnik. Kot Marica Hrdalo je bila ena največjih humorističnih zvezdnic v tedanji Jugoslaviji. Prireditev Noč na Kolpi je nastala po zamisli Tonija Gašperiča. Glavni pokrovitelj je bila metliška Beti, ki je pripravila tudi modno revijo. Domače manekenke so prikazale kolekcijo kopalk, ki jih je Beti začela izdelovati za izvoz.Fotografiji sta iz arhiva Marka Matekoviča.
