ACTIVE FLOOD DEFENCE in CROATIA: Regulatory Framework, Roles & Responsibilities Workshop on Flood Risk Management measures & links to EU WFD November 11-12, 2015, Zagreb, Croatia ACTIVE FLOOD DEFENCE IN CROATIA: regulatory framework, roles & responsibilities Zoran Đurokovi ć, M.Sc.C.E. 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 defense systems and construction of water protection and regulation structures and implementation of flood defense measures ∗ Large highland regions with heavy rainfall, wide valleys of lowland watercourses, big towns and valuable assets in the areas potentially at risk, and partially insufficiently developed protective systems, make Croatia rather vulnerable to floods ∗ Around 15% of the Croatian mainland is under potential flood risk ∗ The major part of the mainland is protected from floods but at different levels of safety The Vuka R. – Danube R., Vukovar, June 2013 ∗ As of late, floods occur even where no one expects them ∗ Increasing high water events and new maximum water levels are recorded on many watercourses (Mura, Sava, Kupa, Korana, Mrežnica, Glina, Sunja, Ilova, Orljava,…) The Mura River, 2005 ∗ For that reason, Hrvatske vode has initiated large-scale activities in order to address the hot spots, i.e. reconstruct and extend particular parts of the flood defence system, as well as in order to construct new water regulation and protection structures for the purpose of further development of the flood defence system ∗ 3,935 km of watercourses of first order ∗ 17,000 km of watercourses of second order ∗ 4,100 km of dikes ∗ 60 multipurpose reservoirs with a total volume of 1.0 billion m 3 ∗ 44 upland retarding basins ∗ 5 large natural retarding basins with a total volume exceeding 2.0 billion m 3 (Odransko polje, Lonjsko polje, Mokro polje, Zelenik, and Kopački rit) ∗ 3 large flood relief canals (Sava-Odra, Lonja-Strug, Kupa-Kupa) ∗ 2 connecting canals (Zelina-Lonja-Glogovnica-Česma, Ilova-Pakra) ∗ 900 km of lateral canals ∗ 9 drainage tunnels in the total length of app. 17.3 km ∗ Plenty minor water regulation and protection structures ∗ In flood defence, great importance is given to the preservation of extensive floodplains or natural retarding basins in Croatia which receive large volumes of floodwaters, thus reducing the flood risk FLOOD DEFENCE IN CROATIA Bodies responsible for flood defence: ∗ Ministry of Agriculture ∗ Hrvatske vode (Croatian Waters) ∗ Companies certified for works in implementation of preventive, regular and emergency flood defence ∗ National Meteorological and Hydrological Service (DHMZ) ∗ National Protection and Rescue Directorate ∗ Units of local and regional self-government ∗ Other competent state administration bodies ∗ Pursuant to the Water Act, flood defence is managed by Hrvatske vode ∗ Flood defence activities are emergency service ∗ Operational flood risk management and immediate implementation of flood defence measures are regulated by: -

Contents of flood defence implementation plans - An early warning system and a communications system MASTER FLOOD DEFENCE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (July 2015) ∗ The Master Flood Defence Implementation Plan and the Flood Defence Implementation Plans for defended areas in Croatia are adopted by Hrvatske vode. ∗ The Master Plan is publicly available at the website of HV (www.voda.hr ) ∗ It contains: - Overview of territorial units for immediate implementation of flood defence measures (including the numbers and references of sections and other required data) in the defended areas by sectors and the associated water protection facilities on which flood defence measures or measures for protection from ice on watercourses are implemented - Section-specific water levels at which state of alert, regular and emergency flood defence, and state of emergency are proclaimed - Criteria for defence from ice on watercourses - The deployment of flood defence managers and their deputies from Hrvatske vode, and of legal entities and their managers and deputies registered for the activities of flood defence and defence from ice on watercourses, as well as the deployment of flood defence managers from legal entities managing dams and reservoirs - Obligations of the Croatian Meteorological and Hydrological Service (DHMZ) to collect and submit data, forecasts and warnings about hydrometeorological phenomena significant for flood defence - Instructions for the preparation of reports on the implemented flood defence measures - A map delineating the borders of defended areas. SECTORS AND DEFENDED AREAS FOR FLOOD DEFENCE IMPLEMENTATION Defended areas Sectors and borders of defended areas in Croatia FLOOD DEFENCE IMPLEMENTATION ∗ Flood defence in the Republic of Croatia is implemented in territorial units for flood defence: - River basin districts - Sectors - Defended areas - Sections ∗ The Republic of Croatia is divided in 2 river basin districts, 6 sectors and 34 defended areas ∗ Defended areas are divided in several sections FLOOD DEFENCE IMPLEMENTATION ∗ River basin districts are territorial units for planning and reporting within flood risk management ∗ Flood risk is estimated, flood hazard maps and flood risk maps are prepared, flood risk management plans are made on the level of a river basin district ∗ Water Act defines the Danube River Basin and the Adriatic Sea Basin, borders between river basin districts are determined by the Government of the Republic of Croatia ∗ Sectors are main operative territorial units for flood defence implementation ∗ Coordination and operative management of flood defence is conducted on the sector level in all defended areas within sector borders FLOOD DEFENCE IMPLEMENTATION ∗ Defended areas are basic units for flood defence implementation ∗ Operative flood defence management is conducted in the level of defended areas, orders by the main Flood Defence Centre and from the sector level are implemented, and in case there is no order, independent action during flood defence is provided ∗ Sections are the lowest territorial units within defended areas where in case flood danger occurs states are monitored and flood defence is directly implemented on water protection structures ∗ Number and references of individual sections are defined by the Master Flood Defence Implementation Plan EXTRACT FROM MASTER FLOOD DEFENCE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (July 2015) MAIN FLOOD DEFENCE CENTER ∗ The Main Flood Defence Centre (MFDC) is established as the central organizational unit of Hrvatske vode for the management of regular and emergency flood defence on the national level. ∗ The MFDC is the place of central management and main coordination and the place where a flood defence communications and notification system is established . ∗ The MFDC provides expert and technical support to the general manager of flood defence. ∗ The MFDC is seated in the headquarters of Hrvatske vode in Zagreb; ∗ The MFDC includes flood defence centres on the level of all 6 sectors on the territory of the Republic of Croatia.

SUMMARY OF NATURAL VALUES The area inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1979 as Plitvice Lakes National Park (PLNP) covered 19,462ha. In 1997, the area of the National Park was extended by the Croatian Parliament to 29,482ha. The Croatian authorities have now proposed that the World Heritage site be extended to include this enlargement of the park by 10,020ha. PLNP is situated in the karst area of Croatia. It consists of a series of lakes in the valley of the Bijela rijeka (White River) and Crna rijeka (Black River), which join to become the Korana River, which flows into the River Kupa and eventually into the River Sava. The lakes are formed by barriers of travertine (or tufa) across the valley which create deep highly oligotrophic lakes.

Nat. Croat. Vol. 28, No. 1., 99-106, Zagreb, 2019. Results of a malacological survey of the Mrežnica River are presented. The molluscan assemblages of this river between the boundary of the Eugen Kvarternik military area and the inflow to the Korana River near Karlovac were studied from 2013 to 2018. Altogether 29 aquatic molluscs (19 gastropods, 10 bivalves) were found at 9 sites. Theodoxus danubialis, Esperiana esperi, Microcolpia daudebartii and Holandriana holandrii were dominant at most of the sites. The molluscan assemblages were very similar to assemblages documented during previous research into the Korana River. The populations of the endangered bivalves Unio crassus and Pseudanodonta complanata were recorded. An extensive population of another endangered gastropod Anisus vorticulus was found at one site. Physa acuta is the only non-native species confirmed in the Mrežnica River. Key words: Mollusca, Unio crassus, Anisus vorticulus, Mrežnica, faunistic, Croatia Beran, L.: Vodeni mekušci rijeke Mrežnice. Nat. Croat. Vol. 28, No. 1., 99-106, Zagreb, 2019.

  • Review of Research on Plitvice Lakes, Croatia in the Fields of Meteorology, Climatology, Hydrology, Hydrogeochemistry and Physical Limnology
    GEOFIZIKA VOL. 35 2018 DOI: 10.15233/gfz.2018.35.9 Review paper Review of research on Plitvice Lakes, Croatia in the fields of meteorology, climatology, hydrology, hydrogeochemistry and physical limnology Zvjezdana Bencetić Klaić 1, Josip Rubinić 2 and Sanja Kapelj 3 1 Department of Geophysics, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb 2 Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Rijeka 3 Faculty of Geotehnical Engineering, University of Zagreb Received 16 April 2018, in final form 22 October 2018 In lakes, several physical, chemical, and biological processes occur simulta- neously, and these processes are interconnected. Therefore, the investigation of lakes requires a multidisciplinary approach that includes physics (including the physics of the atmosphere, i.e., meteorology), chemistry, geology, hydrogeology, hydrology and biology. Each of these disciplines addresses a lake from a different point of view. However, lake studies that primarily belong to one field, at least to some extent, report their findings in ways that are associated with other fields; this type of reporting is caused by the inherent interconnections between phe- nomena from different disciplines. Plitvice Lakes, Croatia, are composed of a unique cascading chain of karst lakes, and these lakes have been investigated by numerous authors. Here, we provide an overview of the studies of the Plitvice Lakes Area (PLA) that address meteorology, climatology, hydrology, hydrogeo- chemistry and physical limnology. Our aim is to synthesize the results from each of these disciplines and make them available to scientists from other related disciplines; thus, this review will facilitate further investigations of the PLA within the natural sciences. In addition, valuable results from early investiga- tions of Plitvice Lakes are generally unavailable to the broader scientific com- munity, and are written in Croatian.

  • Ptica Godine U Hrvatskoj 2016. Godine 2016
    BREGUNICA (Riparia riparia) Factsheet Ptica godine u Hrvatskoj 2016. godine 2016 Veličine od oko 12 cm i težine samo 14 grama, bregunica (Riparia riparia) je najmanja europska lastavica. Vrlo je društvena vrsta, koja gnijezdi u kolonijama, obično u prirodnim, okomitim, pjeskovitim obalama nizinskih rijeka. Bregunica je ambasador živih i zdravih rijeka i gnijezdi u staništima poput prirodnih strmih zemljanih i pjeskovitih obala. Na rijeci Dravi još uvijek živi oko 50% hrvatske populacije bregunica, međutim broj parova se u posljednjih 30 godina smanjio za 90%. Naime, bregunica i druge vrste dravskih ptica pod velikim su pritiskom zbog nestanka staništa, u prvom redu zbog izgradnje obaloutvrda i hidroelektrana koje mijenjaju prirodnu dinamiku rijeke i onemogućuju stvaranje prirodno strmih obala. Pored očuvanja postojećih kolonija, potrebno je obnoviti i dosad uništena staništa, a potrebno je i zaustaviti regulacije te korištenje pesticida duž Bregunica je najmanja riječnog koridora rijeke Drave, koji ubijaju kukce, njihov glavni izvor lastavica u Europi. hrane. Stoga je WWF, zajedno s brojnim udrugama, proglasio 2016. Dužina: 12 cm godinom bregunice, kako bi skrenuo pozornost javnosti na potrebu Raspon krila: 26 - 29 cm očuvanja ove iznimne vrste i njenih staništa. Stanište Gnijezdi se u strmim obalama rijeka, rjeđe u iskopima šljunka i pijeska. Kada se bregunice u travnju vraćaju iz Afrike, počinju kopati oko 70 cm duboke rupe u strmim obalama rijeka. U Hrvatskoj su najbrojnije kolonije na rijeci Dravi (najveću koloniju, koja je u Jelkušu, dijelimo s Mađarskom). Gnijezdi još na rijekama Muri, Savi i Dunavu. Rasprostranjenost Bregunica je rasprostranjena na području čitave Europe, sve do krajnjeg sjevera. Rasprostranjena je i na širem području Azije te Sjeverne Amerike.
