Success for Mura: Slovenian Minister of the Environment cancels hydropower plans

Natural riverscape of the Mura © A. Mohl / WWFOn Wednesday, February 13th, Slovenian Minister of the Environment Jure Leben presented a draft regulation to stop the eight planned hydropower projects along the Slovenian stretch of the Mur river. According to this regulation, all concessions for the Mur projects, held by the Slovenian power company "Draukraftwerke Maribor", will be withdrawn. This brings the Minister considerably closer to his promise to protect the free-flowing Mur for future generations. In order for the draft regulation to be legally valid, it now needs approval by the Slovenian Government.

"We welcome the decision of the Slovenian Minister for the Environment and call on Balkan decision-makers to follow his lead. The regulation is an important step towards the protection of the Blue Heart of Europe" says Ulrich Eichelmann of Riverwatch.

Write a lot to train and improve writing techniques, but do not forget that your texts need a reader who can find possible errors and show you efficient ways to solve them, for example, you can even get a reader from https://australiaessays.info/. Just contact those guys and ask them to proofread your text. The fix will certainly help you clear up doubts and keep errors from recurring. Ask for help from a teacher or someone with specific knowledge in the area. For a wording to be developed satisfactorily, it must have at least four paragraphs, divided into introduction, development, and conclusion.

According to a press release by the WWF, "the decision against the power plants is being justified with the irreversible negative environmental impacts and the threat to the drinking water supply of 46,000 residents along the Mur. Furthermore, it is emphasized that the hydropower plants and the associated damage to the river system would undermine the Biosphere Reserve Mur in Slovenia, which was just solemnly opened in January 2019, as well as jeopardizing the protection and sustainable development of the entire Mur region.” (Read the full WWF press release about this joyful news)
