Slovakia’s National Water and Drought Commission has approved a plan setting out priorities for 2026 to 2030, with a focus on turning strategies into practical measures to tackle drought and protect water resources. The plan includes restoring irrigation systems, improving the retention of water in the landscape, protecting drinking water sources and modernising water infrastructure.
Preparation of specific projects is due to begin on November first. Each proposal will need a clear timetable, budget, funding plan and measurable targets. Priority will go to projects that are ready to start and could deliver initial results as early as 2027. The government expects the first proposals by the end of this year or early next year, with progress monitored regularly.
