Recent research shows reductions in the VLF signal noise amplitude that begin before particular earthquakes whose epicentres are more than 100 km away from the signal propagation path. In this paper, we extend this research to studying the noise amplitude during periods of intense seismic activity in a localized area. We analyse variations in the V...

Drought events and their impacts vary spatially and temporally due to diverse pedo-climatic and hydrologic conditions, as well as variations in exposure and vulnerability, such as demographics and response actions. While hazard severity and frequency of past drought events have been studied in detail, little is known about the effect of drought man...

This chapter deals with the overview and state of water resources in Serbia. The introductory part briefly presents the basic hydrological characteristics of Serbia. Most of the waters in Serbia are drained to the Black Sea drainage basin (92.6% of its territory), while only a few percentages belong to the Adriatic and Aegean basins. In the analysi...

One of the indicators of water potential and water resources is specific runoff. Specific runoff for the whole territory of Serbia was obtained using the exponential relation between depth of runoff Y (mm) and precipitation P (mm). This relation is obtained on the basis of the mean annual amount of precipitation and annual water discharge, namely t...

Floods are one of the most common natural hazards and as such, they are causing a great loss of human life as well as great economic damages. Flood frequency analysis (FFA) is still an active and popular field of research among geographers. In this study we have performed regional flood frequency analysis (RFFA) using the L-moments method and annua...

The publication that is before the reader, entitled From the Notebooks of Jovan Cvijić – Selected Pages and Interpretations, is the result of cooperation between the Belgrade City Museum and the Geographical Institute “Jovan Cvijić” SASA. It has been prepared with a deep awareness of the importance of Jovan Cvijić’s scientific research work and wit...

For understanding hydroclimatological process chain it is crucial to identify relations between large-scale climatic circulations and river discharge. The Danube is one of the most important European waterways, flowing 2.857 kilometers across the Europe and with 817.000 km2 basin. Danube River average and maximum discharges are correlated with eigh...

In this chapter, published in Serbian the state of water resources in Serbia and their use are presented. In the introductory part is given a brief overview of the formation of the river network, the factors influencing the formation of runoff, as well as the basic indicators of water potential of Serbia and water usability. In the analysis of grou...

Књига Из бележница Јована Цвијића – прикази и тумачења настала је као резултат сарадње Музеја града Београда и Географског института „Јован Цвијић“ САНУ. Ова публикација приређена је са дубоком свешћу о значају научно-истраживачког рада Јована Цвијића и у уверењу да се књигом, концепцијски домишљеном, стручно написаном и брижљиво уређеном, непознат...

At-site frequency analysis of hydrological droughts is presented in this paper, in the example of the hydrological station Ljubičevski Most on the Velika Morava River, which represents the outlet of the entire Velika Morava basin, covering 42% of the Republic of Serbia. It is the first time that for the Velika Morava basin, and Serbia, theoretical...

Spatial and temporal analysis of hydrological droughts, defined by two variables: deficit and duration of drought, is presented in this paper. Time series of deficits and drought durations are derived using threshold level method for 15 hydrological stations in basin of Južna Morava (Serbia). Since Q90 was used as threshold level for drought defini...

Subjects of this paper are trends of annual and seasonal water discharges in Serbia. Data of water discharges at the 94 hydrological stations in the period 1961-2010 were analyzed, using the Mann-Kendall test and Sen's method. It was concluded that 27% of analyzed stations have statistically significant changes on annual level and 14-24% on seasona...

In Serbia, hydropower potential is considered the most important renewable resource and it is estimated at 27.2 TWh per year; technically usable power reaches 19.8 TWh per year, 18 TWh per year of which can be produced by hydropower plants larger then 10MW. Nowadays, 15 large hydropower plants produce 11.7 TWh per year. Hydropower potential is unev...

The utilization of renewable resources for energy production is a very topical issue in Serbia, both among experts and among the public. Having in mind that hydropower potential is considered the most important renewable resource (31,000 GWh per year) which is only partially exploited (10,000 GWh per year), accent is laid on the possibilities for i...

As a member of the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR) Serbia is providing data on water quality within a Trans National Monitoring Network (TNMN) since 2001. This paper deals with mean monthly and mean annual assessments of nutrient loads for the period 2001 – 2009 for 7 hydrological stations in Danube Basin, an...

Torrential floods, as a natural disaster, which appears suddenly as a two-phase flow (maximal water discharge and high concentrated sediments) on slopes in mountain areas, cause an increased risk to human lives, their activities and material goods. In Serbia, torrential floods are the most frequent natural disaster, regarding the fact that 86.4% of...

In this article we analyzed the greatest floods in Serbia between 1960 and 2010. The probability of flood occurrence was calculated for 21 hydrological observation stations on major rivers (Danube, Sava, Tisza, Tamis. and Velika Morava) in whose valleys great floods were recorded in the observed period. By means of probability theory and mathematic...

The review on greatest floods recorded in Vojvodina and central Serbia within the period from 1999 to 2009 is given in this paper. For 13 hydrological stations, that recorded the greatest floods for the present period, probability of occurrence of these floods has been accomplished. Based on analysis of time series of discharge and water level maxi...

River Habitat Survey (RHS) is terrain method developed in UK in 1994. for determination of physical character of rivers and river basin. This method is applied for the first time in Golijska Moravica river basin. Two indices which broadly describe the diversity of river habitat and landscape features (Habitat Quality Assessment (HQA)) and extent an...

Minimum water discharge and seasonal flow calculations of Veliki Rzav at Arilje have been conducted for the purposes of regional water supply system "Rzav". For the first time for this hydrological station minimum water discharges have been calculated by frequency curves, parameters of which have been determined by method of moments. Also for the f...

The basin of the Golijska Moravica River is rich in water, and therefore its water is used for water supply of towns and industry not only in the basin but in the whole region as well. This paper presents the status of water quality in the main rivers of the basin, and recommends measures for water quality protection.

It is very important to calculate accurately maximum discharges and water levels for purposes of constructing water reservoirs and embankments for flood defense. Construction of four large reservoirs in Golijska Moravica basin is planned until 2021, according to Water management plan of Serbia. Maximum discharge of Veliki Rzav at Roge has been calc...
