The values ​​of the parameters used to monitor the load of rivers with organic substances have decreased significantly since 1996. The observed decrease in organic load corresponds to the increase in the proportion of the population whose wastewater is treated in municipal and joint wastewater treatment plants. The load of rivers with nutrients varies significantly between river basins. The average nitrate values ​​in all river basins of the Danube river basin are higher than in the Soča and Adriatic river basins and above the values of the natural background.

The quality of bathing water along the Slovenian coast is excellent, which ranks Slovenia at the top among the EU countries.

The quality of inland bathing waters in Slovenia is high, as most are classified as “excellent”, which is better than in the majority of other EU Member States.

Nutrient over-enrichment remains the key environmental challenge for lakes and reservoirs in Slovenia. For the assessment period 2014–2019, only 4 of the 11 lake water bodies achieved good or high ecological status. Recent annual data indicate no signs of improvement, and in some lakes total phosphorus concentrations are even rising. The main pressures are linked to human activities, especially inappropriate discharge of municipal wastewater, intensive agriculture in the catchments, and fisheries.

The value of agricultural output in Slovenia fluctuates in the period 1995–2024, which can be a consequence of fluctuation of changes in prices of agricultural products, changes in the volume of agricultural production or combination of both. In the recent period, the key factors have been large fluctuations in the physical volume (and consequently the value) of agricultural production, especially in crop production. In recent years, there have been intense fluctuations in crop prices and prices of agricultural inputs.
