Croatian Waters Main Flood Protection Centre Head of Main Centre ∗ Climate change has intensified in recent years worldwide, including Croatia ∗ Extremely dry and wet periods have been alternating frequently in the last approximately 15 years ∗ Damage from extreme hydrological events is increasing ∗ “Average” or “normal” years are becoming increasingly rarer ∗ The frequency of high water waves and extreme water levels including floods is increasing ∗ There are almost no longer any rules concerning the occurrence of high water waves ∗ Forecasting climate models indicate increasingly frequent extreme climate events, both globally and locally ∗ Only in the last 15 years or so, the major part of the Croatian territory has experienced frequent extreme hydrological events which caused droughts in the years 2000, 2003, 2011 and 2012, but also floods in the years 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 ∗ Heavy damage is recorded, primarily in agriculture, but settlements, infrastructure and industrial facilities are also at risk ∗ Still, unlike in many other countries, major fatalities and disastrous damage in the urban areas have been avoided in Croatia ∗ Floods are natural phenomena which cannot be completely prevented. However, flood risks can be reduced to an acceptable level through constant development of flood

  • Sectarian Divide Continues to Hamper Residual Return and Reintegration of the Displaced
    BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA: Sectarian divide continues to hamper residual return and reintegration of the displaced A profile of the internal displacement situation 25 October, 2006 This Internal Displacement Profile is automatically generated from the online IDP database of the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). It includes an overview of the internal displacement situation in the country prepared by the IDMC, followed by a compilation of excerpts from relevant reports by a variety of different sources. All headlines as well as the bullet point summaries at the beginning of each chapter were added by the IDMC to facilitate navigation through the Profile. Where dates in brackets are added to headlines, they indicate the publication date of the most recent source used in the respective chapter. The views expressed in the reports compiled in this Profile are not necessarily shared by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre. The Profile is also available online at www.internal-displacement.org. About the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre, established in 1998 by the Norwegian Refugee Council, is the leading international body monitoring conflict-induced internal displacement worldwide. Through its work, the Centre contributes to improving national and international capacities to protect and assist the millions of people around the globe who have been displaced within their own country as a result of conflicts or human rights violations. At the request of the United Nations, the Geneva-based Centre runs an online database providing comprehensive information and analysis on internal displacement in some 50 countries. Based on its monitoring and data collection activities, the Centre advocates for durable solutions to the plight of the internally displaced in line with international standards.

  • Real-Time Flood Forecasting and Warning System Sava River Basin
    Development of Real-Time Flood Forecasting and Warning System for the Sava River Basin Klaas-Jan van Heeringen1, Hanneke Schuurmans2, Mihailo Anđelić3, Victor Simončić4, Imra Hodzic5, Sabina Hadziahmetovic5 ABSTRACT: Disastrous floods in May 2014 in Sava River basin resulted in 79 casualties and substantial economic damage in Croatia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, and Serbia. Assessments of the total damage in the area range up to 3.8 billion Euros. Distressing is the fact that besides flooding the Balkan region recently suffered from severe droughts as well. In order to be more resilient to flood and drought events, data and model output sharing is key. Better information will lead to better decisions. The Flood Forecasting and Warning System (Sava-FFWS) in which five countries jointly work together is at the forefront of transboundary cooperation. The FFWS, which is based on the well-known Delft-FEWS software, lends ample data and information enabling ultimately the decision makers to make right management decisions and implement operational measures to prevent and mitigate severe flood and drought situations on the basis of reliable forecasts of flows and discharges with a long lead time. The paper outlines key components of the Sava-FFWS illustrated with concrete application examples. Key words: real-time flood forecasting, Delft-FEWS, Sava river basin, Sava HIS, hydrological models, hydraulic models, numerical weather prediction, water levels, discharges, precipitation, temperature, snow, GIS data, dissemination Razvoj sistema za prognozu i upozorenje na velike vode u realnom vremenu za sliv reke Save APSTRAKT: Katastrofalne majske poplave iz 2014. godine u slivu reke Save pogodile su delove Bosne i Hercegovine, Hrvatske i Srbije i ostavile iza sebe pustoš: 79 osoba je izgubilo život a ogromna materijalna šteta je procenjena na preko 3.8 milijardi evra.

  • Ratni Zloćini Srpskih Snaga Nad Hrvatima I Muslimanima U
    Ratni zlocinu srpskih snaga nad Hrvatima i muslimanima u Bosanskoj posavini RATNI ZLOČINI SRPSKIH SNAGA NAD HRVATIMA I MUSLIMANIMA U BOSANSKOJ POSAVINI ZEMLJOPISNI POLOŽAJ, RELJEF I KLIMA Bosanska posavina ima oko 2649 četvornih kilometara površine. Na ovom prostoru, prema popisu pučanstva iz 1991. godine, živjelo je 375.903 stanovnika, ili 141,9 osoba na jednom četvornom kilometru. Prirodno izdvojeni prostor Bosanske posavine omeđen je sjeverno tektonskim rovom rijeke Save, na zapadu rijekom Ukrinom i planinom Motajicom, južno planinama Trebavac i Majevicom, a na istoku riječicom Lukavac. Sa središnjim dijelovima Bosne i Hercegovine povezan je prije svega prirodnim prolazom dolinom rijeke Bosne kroz dobojsku i vrandučku klisuru, dok su zapadni dijelovi dostupni kroz također prirodni prolaz uz rijeku Ukrinu. Bosanska se posavina nalazi na široko otvorenoj i lako prohodnoj peripanonskoj nizini. Sjevernu je granicu povukla rijeka Sava, koja meandrira i često plavi svoju aluvijalnu ravan, pa je zbog toga, a i zbog izuzetnog tranzitnog značenja peripanonske nizine, rijeka premoštena na više mjesta. Za gradove Bosanski Brod, Bosanski Šamac, Brčko i Orašje držimo da su ključevi sjevernog dijela Bosne. Uz veliko tranzitno značenje i laku prohodnost, te bogatu hidrološku mrežu, bogatstvu gospodarske baze Bosanske posavine prirodno je pridodana i mogućnost dobre poljoprivredne proizvodnje i prerade nafte, a pregnućima pučanstva dobrano je zaživjela prehrambena, drvna, građevna, tekstilna, kožna, metalna i kemijska industrija, te se razvila cestovna i riječna tranzitna čvorišta i stvoreni veliki skladišni prostori. Zahvaljujući zemljopisnom položaju (između 44ˇ 45' i 45ˇ 15' sjeverne geografske širine te 17ˇ 45' i 19ˇ istočne geografske dužine) i okruženju planinama na zapadu i jugu, Bosanska posavina ima umjerenu kontinentalnu klimu.
