The river continues as part of the Timavo in Italy. Tracer studies have shown that it also feeds springs elsewhere on the Adriatic Coast between Trieste and Monfalcone.LTER Slovenia summarizes the science performed to date: http://lter.zrc-sazu.si/ProjectOverview/tabid/350/Default.aspx {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151208140733/http://lter.zrc-sazu.si/ProjectOverview/tabid/350/Default.aspx |date=2015-12-08 }} It has a pluvial regime.{{cite journal |last=Brečko Grubar |first=Valentina |last2=Kovačič |first2=Gregor |year=2010 |title=Pokrajinskoekološka oznaka jadranskega povodja v Sloveniji s poudarkom na kakovosti vodnih virov |language=Slovenian|trans-title=Landscape Ecological Characterization of the Adriatic Sea Basin in Slovenia with an Emphasis on Water Resource Quality |journal=Annales.
