Runoff from the basins of Neretva and Trebišnjica rivers takes place in very complex conditions of developed karst, where flows are mainly subsurface through an extensive cracked and channeled system of karstified rock. Water regime determines all essential characteristics of life in the basin. The spatial position and distribution of precipitation in the basins gives them a high energy potential, which was recognized back in the last century and mostly used by technical solutions to the present day. Construction in the basin, especially of hydroelectric systems, has significantly changed the water regime. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
