Through the Slovak Water Management Company, state-owned enterprise, the state has been implementing a reconstruction and revitalization program since 1996 under the title “Partial Reconstruction of Water Reservoirs in Banská Štiavnica”. Unfortunately it does not solve the problems with the devastation of supply sluices, nor the problems with micro-basins associated with increased erosion and consequently sediment transport and sedimentation in the water res- 8 Analysis of changes in volume capacity of selected artificial water reservoirs... ervoirs area. In effect it is gradually fouling and losing its total storage volume, even though the water reservoirs are under UNESCO protection and one of their newly defined functions is protection against floods. Despite all this, water reservoirs are still used to a large extent for recreation, extensive fish farming, and water accumulation contributing significantly to flood protection. They represent one of the dominant phenomena of the region’s distinctive appearance. During the whole period of mining in Banská Štiavnica, a number of reservoirs, both large and small, were gradually established, rebuilt and abandoned. A team of authors (Hydroconsult 1991) describes more than 60 such reservoirs. Today, however, we know there are more, which were not included in their work, and their traces are more or less visible in the terrain. They are currently subject to more detailed research. For example, smaller water reservoirs, now almost vanished, are built in several lateral and smaller valleys of the Hodruša valley, where only relics of former mining activity are found today. All existing and abolished water reservoirs were situated in the Hron or Ipeľ basins. Today, we distinguish these according to the geographic location of the individual micro-basins into the following groups: water reservoirs of Piargy, Banská Štiavnica, Kolp. -- ISBN 978-83-64758-95-9
