The Soča-Isonzo River is a river in West Slovenia and North Italy.
Rivers begin at their source in higher ground, either rising from a spring, forming from glacial meltwater, flowing from a body of water such as a lake, or simply from damp, boggy places where the soil is waterlogged.
River management is an ongoing activity as rivers tend to 'undo' the modifications made by man. Dredged channels silt up, sluice mechanisms deteriorate with age, levees and dams may suffer seepage or catastrophic failure.

The major part of the Croats left Carpathian White Croatia, and on their way southward they reached, at the beginning of the 7th century, the former Roman province of Dalmatia on the shores of the Adriatic sea.
