📋 Tender Overview
On World Earth Day, it becomes especially clear that water is not only a natural resource, but the foundation of development, health, safety and the space in which we live.This understanding was expressed in an extremely direct way by the students of Jurija Vega Moravca Primary School, who, under the guidance of class teacher Tanja Apsner, created works of art on the theme of the connection between water and Earth on World Water Day.
Their works are not only about water as an element, but about the relationship to space. They show in a simple but very clear way that water shapes the landscape, affects peoples lives and determines the future development of the environment.
Such a view is at the heart of modern water management. At the Directorate of the Republic of Slovenia for Water, we carry out tasks that connect the regulation of watercourses, planning, investments, maintenance and professional foundations with one goal, long-term and coordinated water management and the reduction of the risk of flooding.
In recent years, this has been reflected in the increased scope of works on watercourses, the systemic approach after the floods in 2023, and the largest investment cycle in the field of water so far. At the same time, it remains crucial that we understand water management not only as a technical task, but as space management.
A childs view best shows the essence of our work - water is not a separate system, but part of the space for which we are jointly responsible.
That is why initiatives such as the creation of the pupils of Jurija Vega Moravce Elementary School have a special meaning. Not only as an expression of creativity, but as a reflection of the understanding that we want to strengthen as a society.
We at the Water Directorate of the Republic of Slovenia welcome such initiatives. In the future, we will strive to include as many elementary schools as possible in such projects and, together with young people, strengthen awareness of the importance of water, space and shared responsibility for sustainable development.
