Proning @IWA World Water Congress
In the period from September 11-15, 2022, Proning's experts Dražen Navratil and Draženka Kvesić participated during the IWA World Water Congress held in Copenhagen, on the topic of „Water in smart liveable cities“, at the booth of our long-term partner the Danish Hydraulic Institute, one of several world-class institutes from domains of water modeling and resources management.
During the conference, we had numerous contacts with congress visitors. A large number of participants and their interest pointed to the importance of quality solutions in the domain of smart cities, especially from the aspect of applying digitally supported solutions. New technologies are increasingly enabling the application of new quality solutions to water problems in cities.
We further learn and work on knowledge maintenance and continue to apply "state of the art" solutions in our practice.
Herewith we would like to express our special thanks to all domestic and foreign colleagues, visitors to the DHI and Proning booth.

Presentation of the Study of Evaluation and Monitoring of the Effectiveness of the Sewerage Network Construction Project Implementation and Analysis of the Efficiency of Wastewater Treatment Plants Operation in the City of Poreč
On 23.03.2022, the project " Study of Evaluation and Monitoring of the Effectiveness of the Sewerage Network Construction Project Implementation and Analysis of the Efficiency of Wastewater Treatment Plants Operation in the City of Poreč " (Study Poreč) was presented. The holder of the study was our designing company Proning DHI with the participation of the IHE Delft Foundation Netherlands, IMDC Belgium, Ruđer Bošković Institute, Zagreb and the Faculty of Food Technology and Biotechnology, Zagreb.
In the wider area of Poreč, with the co-financing from EU funds, a project of reconstruction and upgrade of the existing drainage system has been realized with the construction of four treatment plants with a total value of 67.2 million euros. The Poreč study has been conducted as a complementary study in order to improve the understanding of working conditions, interactions and efficiency of the integrated system (sewage - treatment plants - sea) in different conditions, as well as to increase the knowledge and skills of staff managing the system. Within the Poreč Study, research works have been conducted on the basis of which the models of drainage systems, wastewater treatment plants and the coastal sea have been developed, which simulated various scenarios of operation of these integrated systems and their impact on the environment.

On March 06th 2018. in Sarajevo at the UNDP Office, the project "Establishment of real-time flood forecasting system for the Vrbas River Basin in Bosnia and Herzegovina", which was awarded a consortium of the Zavod za vodoprivredu Sarajevo, Danish Hydraulic Institute, Horsholm, Denmark and Proning Dhi Zagreb was presented by consortium partners.
The project commissioner is UNDP with beneficiares the Sava River Basin Agency from Sarajevo, the Federal Meteorological Institute of Sarajevo, the Banja Luka Republic Hydrological Institute and the Banja Luka and Public Agency “Vode Srpske”.
MIKE Hydro and MIKE OPERATIONS (DHI) will be used in the project. By establishing a real-time flood forecasting system for the Vrbas River, it will be linked to the pre-built forecast system on the Una and Sana rivers in BiH.
Both operating systems will greatly contribute to a better understanding of the development of floods, and by proding an hourly forecasts of dicharges and levels will allow for a prolongation and better utilization of the important period before arrival of the flood wave to be utilized for better preparation of immediate physical flood protection measures and mitigate the risk of flooding and potential damage.
The project is a continuation of the 2017 project. in which participated Proning Dhi with the Zavod za vodoprivredu Bjeljina, Zavod za vodoprivredu Sarajevo and the "Jaroslav Černi" Institute from Belgrade. The project was realized under the title “Development of a Flood hazard and Flood Risk Map in the Vrbas River Basin.

The previous conference was held in Nanjing, China in October 2014. which attracted scientists and experts from all over the world. Editorial Advisory Board of the International Society of Ecological Informatics (ISEI), headed by Prof. Friedrich Recknagel from the University of Adelaide, Australia, granted organization of ICEI 2016 to Proning DHI on January 19, 2015.
Proning DHI see it as a great honour and obligation not only for the company itself but also to our country Croatia, as the concern over topics ISEI is covering are global and influence all human beings and all of the nature on the Earth.
Ecological informatics is focused on all aspects of ecoinformatics, computational ecology and systems ecology. It takes into account the data-intensive nature of ecology and the precious information content of ecological data in view of global environmental and climate change. It is interdisciplinary at the crossover between ecology and informatics. Ecological informatics focuses on recent developments in sensor-based data acquisition, internet-based data archiving and sharing, data assimilation, inductive reasoning and forecasting of ecological data.
Typical topics of Ecological Informatics cover novel concepts and tools for the acquisition, management, analysis and synthesis of ecological data including genomic and paleoecological data, understanding ecosystem functioning and evolution, and informing decisions on environmental issues like sustainability, climate change and biodiversity.
The first announcement and invitation to participate is underway and is expected latest in April 2015.

Zagreb and the Danish Hydraulic Institute for water and the environment from Denmark
The project aims at developing a pilot operating system to flood forecasting in real time and early warning systems for the Sava River from the Slovenian border to Sisak. This is an important non-structural measure as part of the integrated approach to flood protection system harmonized with the EU Floods Directive. One of the key activities is the component of knowledge transfer for the employees of the Croatian Waters and the DHMZ. The contract will be implemented within 12 months on the basis of operational hydro-meteorological forecast from DHMZ and existing databases, information and other contributions from CW. The concept and methodology as well as selected numerical models (MIKE 11 and MIKE FF CUSTOMIZED REAL TIME) developed by DHI, which will be used in the project were applied to already-made system for flood forecasting in Slovenia and neighboring countries Austria, Hungary, Italy, but also on large river basins in the world.
