Croatian national workshop RECONECT
As a continuation to the previous workshops and in light of the approaching completion of the project, the Croatian national workshop "Solutions for reducing the risk of floods based on nature in the Bregana river basin as part of the RECONECT project" was held on Friday 17.5.2024. in Zagreb. RECONECT aims to rapidly enhance the European reference framework on Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) for hydro-meteorological risk reduction by demonstrating, referencing, upscaling and exploiting large-scale NBS in rural and natural areas. RECONECT draws upon a network of carefully selected Demonstrators and Collaborators that cover a wide and diverse range of local conditions, geographic characteristics, institutional/governance structures and social/cultural settings to successfully upscale NBS throughout Europe and Internationally. The workshop was opened by Mr. Dario Ban, director of Proning DHI, on behalf of the organizers, followed by an introductory presentation by the head of the Croatian RECONECT team, Božidar Deduš. The introductions were followed by a presentation by on NBS in the Bregana river basin Ratko Ramuščak, and a presentation by Draženka Kvesić with the topic of the most common obstacles in Croatia that hinder the implementation of NBS solutions and the enablers that can reduce or even remove the considered barriers. Representatives of: - Croatian waters The participants of the workshop assessed which enablers and to what extent could help overcome the barriers that slow down and/or prevent the application of the NBS in Croatia. At the previous workshops (December 2022 and February 2023), a number of obstacles was identified, 4 of which were selected for further analysis. Each of the 4 barriers had several possible enablers that could help with overcoming them, and their potential use and effects were analyzed and assessed at the national workshop. The identified barriers were as follows: - Barrier 1: Lack of sense of urgency, As a result of a survey, joint proposals and through discussion, the participants of the workshop singled out the following as the most significant enablers. To overcome barrier 1: Creating incentive schemes and highlighting quick-win NBS projects that demonstrate immediate benefits, encouraging early adoption and investment. To overcome barrier 2: Unlocking public and private funding to enable NBS investments, merging complementary funding streams into single programs that prioritize NBS, and promoting innovative financing mechanisms such as payment for ecosystem services. To overcome barrier 3: Developing innovative compensation mechanisms that go beyond financial payments, such as land-for-land exchanges, land pooling, or long-term benefit-sharing arrangements that allow landowners to maintain a connection to their ancestral land. To overcome barrier 4: Implementing demonstration projects that showcase the successful integration of NBS into human-dominated landscapes, emphasizing their aesthetic appeal and functionality.

2014 September
On September 11, 2014. the Contract "Implementation of pilot project and capacity building for flood forecasting" between Croatian Waters (CW) and the State Meteorological and Hydrological Service (DHMZ) as a Client and Consortium consisting of the company PRONING DHI. d.o.o. 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.
