Influence of river engineering measures on river morphology of the Notranja Mura River

摘要

Two reaches on the river Mura are presented in the present work. First one lies downstream from the Town of Radenci and above the village of Krog. Second one is located betwen the villages of Srednja Bistrica, Hotiza and Gaberje. Changes in the river morphology due to river engineering measures are found. The first part is represented by three chapters. The concept of geomorphology is intoduced what includes comprehention, valuing and conservation of surface natural systems and forms. In third chapter the river geomorphology, river systems and proceses of riverbed shaping is discussed. In second part, the Mura River is introduced. Short acquaintance of river and its river basin in forth chapter is folloved by a detailed explanation of the Mura River in Slovenia. River system is defined with previously described parameters, and also comprehention of river Mura and present problematics is discussed. What follow is the fifth and main chapter where an analysis about the present condition of the river and the influences that the water interventions had is performed. A conclusion about just how close to the natural state the river is is made on the comparison of the present state with the former. .
