It is a state-subsidised non-profit research institute that operates under the auspices of the Slovak Ministry of the Environment.Besides research, we give scientific expert opinions and provide recommendations and special advisory services for sustainable water management. We actively participate in resolving current and potential environmental issues related to water protection and rational  water use, taking into account the Water Policy Concept of Slovakia until 2030, issued by the Ministry of the Environment, as well as our international commitments.
