📋 Tender Overview
On April 4, 2025, the Directorate of the Republic of Slovenia for Waters launched the construction project for the Crni potok reservoir, officially starting the implementation of measures to reduce flood risk in the Logatec area.The project, worth almost 2.5 million euros, is financed by the European Union under the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP). The construction works will be carried out by the companies TRGOGRAD trgovina in gradbenistvo, doo, Litija and CVP, gradbenistvo in storitve, doo, Ljubljana, selected in a public tender. The completion of the works is scheduled for 30 June 2026. The purpose of the project is to reduce the flow of high waters on the Crni potok stream and consequently on the Logascica river as much as possible. This will significantly improve the flood safety of the settlements of Strmca, Gorenja vas and Gorenji Logatec, while the reduced inflow at the confluence with the Reka will also enable the reduction of the high waters of the Logascica river. This will relieve the Jacka gullet in Gorenji Logatec, where some urbanized areas in the stream valley are exposed to flooding. The investment is part of a broader effort to comprehensively address flood risk and includes: the arrangement of high water retention systems with dry and wet reservoirs, the establishment and protection of spillways from urbanization, the control of reservoir water levels and the provision of agreed flows at boundary profiles. Special emphasis will be placed on Nature-Based Solutions, which contribute to sustainable water management and climate change resilience.
