"Today, life here is literally rolling..."

Ladislav Židek, bioclimatic park v Rajeckej Doline

"The drought was our problem. It was because, thanks to the measures, it was possible to catch a lot of rainwater, which had flowed away without benefit until then. Vegetation in the area was restored, and new springs and small streams were created, which still exist. The main spring did not dry up even during the worst drought, and the vegetation is still growing happily."

Mayor of Tichý potok village

"In our village, the Lačnovský stream regularly overflowed, which is almost empty when it doesn't rain. Thanks to simple water retention elements, water runoff from the fields was reduced, and other measures close to nature - stone and wooden dams, and wicker baskets mitigate the flood wave directly in the ditch. Simple and effective measures, proven by us over the years and still working."

Mayor of Krivany village
