PRESIHAJOCA JEZERA NA PIVSKEM 2 – KRAJNIKOV DOL
INTERMITTENT LAKES IN THE PIVKA BASIN 2 – KRAJNIKOV DOL
V pivski kotlini se nahaja 18 obicajno pojavljajocih se jezer. Proti severozahodu si sledijo Sembijsko jezero, Kalsko jezero, Laneno jezero, Backo jezero, Kljunov ribnik, Veliki dol (za Kalcem), Veliko in Malo Zagorsko jezero, Veliko in Malo Drskovsko jezero, Parsko jezero, Radohovsko jezero, Klenski dol, Palsko jezero, Petelinjsko jezero, Krajnikov dol in Jeredovce.
There are as many as 18 regular lakes in the Pivka basin. Towards the northwest the following lakes occur: Sembijsko jezero, Kalsko jezero, Laneno jezero, Backo jezero, Kljunov ribnik, Veliki dol (za Kalcem), Malo Zagorsko jezero, Veliko Zagorsko jezero, Veliko Drskovsko jezero, Malo Drskovsko jezero, Parsko jezero, Radohovsko jezero, Klenski dol, Palsko jezero, Petelinjsko jezero, Krajnikov dol and Jeredovce.
Najbolj severno, zadnje v vrsti presihajocih Pivskih jezer, so Jeredovce. To je potegnjena, z blagimi pobocji obrobljena globel nad Zejami, z dnom na 537 m n.v. Enako visoko, a malo juzneje lezi Krajnikov dol. Tako Jeredovce kot Krajnikov dol se napolnita le ob najvisjih vodah. Zejci dobro vedo, kdaj je v Jeredovcah jezero. Tedaj namrec precej nizje, v blizini vasi, ozivi izvir Sulk in se po kratkem hudourniskem toku razlije po njivah. V nekdaj rodovitnih Jeredovcah so ob osnovanju vojaskega vadisca Pocek opustili kmetovanje. Globel se je v minulih treh desetletjih ze posteno zarasla z drevjem in grmicevjem, zato je vodna gladina jezera skrita med krosnjami. Novembra 2000 je dosegla 542 m n.v., podatka o srednjem vodostaju tako v Jeredovcah kot v Krajnikovem dolu pa ni. Dolina Jeredovc se od najnizjega dela, kjer nastaja jezero, polagoma dviga proti severovzhodu. Na dnu je nanizanih nekaj vecjih in manjsih vrtac. Novembra 2000 se je voda pojavila kar v sestih izmed njih, pri cemer je najvisje, do 546 m n.v., segla v dveh najbolj severovzhodno lezecih vrtacah.
The most northerly and the last in the line of the Pivka intermittent lakes is the Jeredovce lake. This is a shallow depression stretching along the village of Žeje, with its bottom at 537 m asl. Situated at the same elevation, but slightly farther to the south, is another lake called Krajnikov dol. Both depressions are flooded only during high waters. The people of Žeje know well when there is a lake in the Jeredovce depression, because the Šulk karst spring situated near the village is active at that time, overflowing the nearby meadows and fields. Due to military training activities in the wider area, the cultivation of the Jeredovce depression has been abandoned. As a result, the depression has become overgrown by trees and bushes in the past three decades, and the lake (when it appears) is now hidden under tree crowns. In November 2000, the water level of the lake reached an elevation of 542 m asl; however, there are no figures on the mean water levels of Jeredovce and Krajnikov dol available. From its lowest part, where the lake occurs, the valley of Jeredovce gradually rises towards the northeast. At its bottom, there is a series of dolines. In November 2000, as many as six of these were flooded, and the water level reached the highest point (546 m asl) in the two which lie farthest to the northeast.
