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 consequences for society as a whole. Consequences of climate change in the Vrbas River basin, with a special focus on flood protection, particularly in the city of Banja Luka, and the provision of water for irrigation in the downstream part of the basin, were analyzed in the article. It analyzes the role of existing and planned reservoirs in mitigating adverse events, emphasizing the importance of integrated water resources management.
