This paper analyses the role of the Ulog Hydropower Plant reservoir in mitigating flood waves in the Neretva River basin. A mathematical simulation model was applied to transform flood waves with return periods of 10, 20, 50, and 100 years, under different initial reservoir water levels. The results indicate that complete retention of flood waves c...

This paper evaluates methods for estimating evapotranspiration (ET) and their influence on irrigation system design, using a case study from Modriča, Republic of Srpska. We compare empirical, physically-based, and remote sensing approaches including Thornthwaite, Hargreaves–Samani, Jensen–Haise, Linacre, McGuinness and FAO Penman–...

The consequences of climate change are becoming increasingly evident in all aspects of human activity, particularly in the field of water, affecting the availability and accessibility of water resources, and intensifying extreme phenomena such as droughts and floods. These impacts, in combination with existing vulnerabilities, can have significant ...

Flood forecasting (FF) is one of the most challenging problems in Hydraulic Engineering. It is also most important due to tremendous contribution in reducing economic and life losses that usually occurs during flooding. Major part of the FF system is hydrologic and hydraulic model that simulate runoff and corresponding water levels in rivers, based...

Flood frequency estimation is one of the most important tasks for hydraulic engineers. Design of hydraulic structures and systems require reliable estimates of high waters, which is not always easy to deliver. In this paper, uncertainty of flood frequency estimation common in practical use is presented in the case study of the Sava River at the Sre...
