Description

The Savinja River and its tributaries have been subject to considerable flooding in the past due to snowmelt and heavy rainfall. In the first half of the 19th century, Celje and the Savinja Valley were hit by the worst floods in 1814 and 1824, and in the second half of the century, the worst flooding was at the very beginning, in 1851. If the Celje District Office had been dealing with the river and its tributaries since the beginning of the 19th century, after the flood of 1851 they tried to take a more serious approach to the training of the »mountain« river. But until the systematic training between Mozirje and Levec in 1876-93, work was still rather inconsistent and slow.

      • Savinja s pritoki je bila zaradi taljenja snega in nalivov v preteklosti precej poplavna. V prvi polovici 19. stoletja sta Celje in Savinjsko dolino prizadeli najhujši poplavi v letih 1814 in 1824, v drugi polovici stoletja pa je najhuje poplavilo čisto na začetku, leta 1851. Če se je okrožni urad Celje vse od začetka 19. stoletja sicer že ukvarjal z reko in njenimi pritoki, so po poplavi leta 1851 skušali resneje pristopiti k regulaciji »planinske« reke. Toda do sistematične regulacije med Mozirjem in Levcem v letih 1876-93 so dela potekala še zmeraj precej nedosledno in počasi.
