 Slovakia
 Economic Efficiency of Orava Hydroenergetic Water Work
The hydroenergetic work which contains a regulating reservoir, below which is a chain of additional water power stations, represents by its character infrastructural investment with extensive accompanying effects, forming not only the character of the territory around the reservoir, but having important effect on the operation of the additional water power stations and the whole electric network.   [more...]



 Gigantic Dam Has Serious Cracks
In addition to the Great China Wall, the country with the largest population in the world has build a second work which should be visible also from the space. Is it a timing bomb?  [more...]



 Cierny Vah Pumping Water Power Station
The Cierny Vah pumping water power station (WPS) is the largest pumping station in Slovakia and according to the installed power (735 MW), it is also the largest water power station. It was built for supply of electric energy and covering of changes in the loading in the electric system.  [more...]

 Kralova Water Project
A stretch of the Vah River downstream from the town of Hlohovec (lenght 102.4 km, head 33.3 m) will be exploited by the Lower Vah Cascade composed of three steps, the middle of which will be the Kralova water project. The upper step will be the planned Sereď water project and the lower one the Selice project.  [more...]



 Vah: Hricov Water Project
The Hricov water project consists of a dam, hydroelectric power plant and a reservoir for daily flow regulation and is a control step of the Hricov – Miksova – Povazska Bystrica cascade.  [more...]



 Zilina Water Project on the Vah
The Zilina water project on the Vah (river km 256.8) exploits the hydropower potential of a 13-km-long stretch of the river between Hricov and Strecno.   [more...]



 Cierny Vah water work- part 3
Cierny Vah, the pumped-storage hydroelectric power plant serves particularly for hydraulic energy accumulation during electric system load reduction. It provides for use of primary energy of the Cierny Vah section in area of the lower reservoir besides fulfilling the main purpose.  [more...]



 Cierny Vah water work- part 2
Cierny Vah, the repumping hydroelectric power plant serves particularly for hydraulic energy accumulation during electric system load reduction. It provides for use of primary energy of the Cierny Vah section in area of the lower reservoir besides fulfilling the main purpose.   [more...]

Description of the Most Important Dams and Reservoirs in the Basin  [more...]



 Dams and Reservoirs in the River Vah - Part 2
The river Vah had been used in the past only for floating woods, and only a small part of its energy was applied for driving sawmills and mills. In the 18th century, as in other regions of the current territory of Slovakia, activities were developed, in the form of co-operatives, aimed at protection against natural disasters, namely construction of protecting dams.  [more...]



 Cierny Vah Repumping Water Power Station - Control Field with Sealing Geomembrane
Information on continuing degradation of asphaltic concrete casing of the upper reservoir of the Cierny Vah Repumping Water Power Station (RWPS) and on the possibilities available in repair thereof. During the study works on proposed repair, it was decided to build, on the slope of the upper reservoir, a control field with a sealing geomembrane, for monitoring the effect of the operation of the upper reservoir to the whole sealing system.  [more...]



 Hydropower Works from the Beginning of the 20th Century
The first power stations whose generators were driven by water turbines were built on the territory of Slovakia from the year 1902.   [more...]
