Water Experts from Belgium, Germany, and France in Slovakia. On October 31, 2023, Prof. Pokrivčák gave a lecture followed by a discussion for experts from Belgian, German, and French universities and water management agencies. The lecture focused on the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in Slovakia and the relationships between food production, biodiversity, and water use by the population and energy sector (WEFE Nexus). The experts were particularly interested in drainage and irrigation infrastructure, CAP Strategic Plan settings, rural infrastructure, comprehensive land consolidation, and common facilities and measures, including green and blue infrastructure. Development of water infrastructure in Slovakia is hindered by complex property rights related to facilities and land, as well as governance and regulatory challenges. Therefore, within the Retouch Nexus project, we focus on promoting the WEFE Nexus approach and involving all relevant stakeholders in Slovakia.
31.10.2024 mal prof. Pokrivčák prednášku spojenú s diskusiou pre expertov belgických, nemeckých a francúzskych univerzít a vodohospodárskych agentúr o Spoločnej poľnohospodárskej politike (SPP) na Slovensku a vzťahom medzi výrobou potravín, biodiverzitou a využitím vody obyvateľstvom a energetikou (WEFE Nexus). Experti sa zaujímali odvodňovaciu a zavlažovaciu infraštruktúru, nastavenie SP SPP, infraštruktúru na vidieku, komplexné pozemkové úpravy a spoločné zariadenia a opatrenia vrátane zelenej a modrej infraštruktúry. Rozvoju vodnej infraštruktúry bránia komplikované vlastnícke vzťahy k zariadeniam a pôde, ale aj spôsob regulácie a spravovania (governance). Preto sa v rámci projektu Retouch Nexus venujeme podpore WEFE Nexus prístupu a zapojeniu všetkých relevnatných stakeholderov na Slovensku.
