AB  - Erosion is a significant environmental challenge in Serbia, shaped by natural
and human factors. Pronounced relief, fragile geological substrate, a developed hydrographic network, and a climate characterized by an uneven distribution of precipitation
throughout the year make this area prone to activating erosion processes and flash floods
whenever there is a significant disruption in ecological balance, whether due to the removal
of vegetation cover or inadequate land use. Researchers have recorded approximately
11,500 torrents in Serbia, most of which were activated during the 19th century, a period of
significant social and political change, as well as intensive deforestation and the irrational
exploitation of natural resources. By the mid-19th century, the effects of land degradation
were impossible to ignore. As the adequate assessment of soil erosion intensity is the
initial step in developing a prevention and protection strategy and the type and scope of
anti-erosion works and measures, this article presents the path that the anti-erosion field in
Serbia has taken from the initial observations of erosion processes through the first attempts
to create the Barren Land Cadastre and Torrent Cadastre to the creation of the Erosion
Potential Method (EPM) and its modification by Dr. Lazarevi´c that resulted in the creation
of the first Erosion Map of SR Serbia in 1971 (published in 1983). In 2020, a new Erosion
Map of Serbia was created with the application of Geographic Information System (GIS)
technologies and based on the original method by Professor Slobodan Gavrilovi´c—the
EPM—without the modifications introduced by Lazarevi´c. We compared the 1983 and 2020
erosion maps in a GIS environment, where the change in soil erosion categories was analyzed using a confusion matrix. The updated erosion maps mirror the shift in methodology
from a traditional approach (Lazarevi´c’s modification) to the modern GIS-based method
(Gavrilovi´c’s original EPM) and reflect technological improvements and changes in land
use, conservation practices, and environmental awareness.

AB  - Small run-of-river hydropower plants (RRHPs) have revealed strong harmful effects worldwide on stream habitats (e.g., fragmentation and destruction) and decreased fish species, especially anadromous species abundance. Recently, RRHPs have rapidly been installed in Serbia. Most were installed on montane streams because their steep slopes are most convenient for hydropower energy production at minimal costs. Brown trout Salmo trutta are prominent in the fish communities of this rarest type of aquatic ecosystems. Their native molecular diversity reflects a biodiversity hotspot in the Balkans, and they provide attractive fishing opportunities. Records from fishery management plans for highland stream fisheries where RRHPs were installed revealed reduced brown trout biomass compared with streams without RRHPs. Research on six streams with operational RRHPs revealed severe deterioration of habitat, for example, increased water temperature, reduced dissolved oxygen, and increased nutrient contents. Effects on fish communities were evident from a change in their structure. Resident, stream-dwelling brown trout were the most affected species with steep declines in abundance, biomass, and productivity. Fragmentation owing to damming was also reflected by deterioration of their age structure. Unique native brown trout stocks susceptible to adverse effects are difficult to restore by stocking, and fish passages commonly supplied as compensation to overcome the disruption of habitats cannot mitigate the threat posed to the fish.

AB  - Check dams are built to control erosion processes and torrential floods. In Serbia, legally binding documents, VOS (2002) and PPRS (2010), provide the concept for the water supply of the population and industry by regional systems for which water is provided by building high dams and formation of reservoirs. With this concept, it is often not possible to meet the needs of local communities in mountainous areas. In order to contribute to solving the water supply problems of these mostly poor villages, research was conducted on the possibility of using check dam aggradation groundwater for this purpose. Field investigations and analysis of project documentation for numerous check dams and aggradations in Serbia were carried out. Potential quantities and quality of groundwater in the aggradations were analyzed as a resource for the water supply of the population. The results of the research indicate very favorable possibilities of the aggradations for the accumulation of groundwater in the form of unconfined or phreatic aquifer with a free water table, in quantities that can be used for water supply. It was stated that: 1) under favorable conditions, with check dams on watercourses with constant flow and large-scale aggradations, there is a possibility of accumulating sufficient quantities of groundwater as a resource for water supply, 2) improving the quality of infiltrated waters by the process of filtration through intergranular porous media of the aggradation, and reaching the level of water supply quality, and 3) favorable economic parameters for opening the source at the aggradation, compared to other types of water sources. The possibility that check dams, in addition to their traditional role, could be used for local water supply facilities was also highlighted.

AB  - U skladu sa Nacionalnim akcionim planom za proizvodnju energije iz obnovljivih izvora u Srbiji je do sada izgraĊeno oko 90 malih hidroelektrana (MHE), dok je planirana izgradnja 850 MHE, dominantno derivacionog tipa, u brdsko-planinskim podruĉjima Srbije, uglavnom, u zaštićenim prirodnim podruĉjima (Nacionalni parkovi, Parkovi prirode, Specijalni rezervati prirode). Srbija je najsiromašnija zemlja Balkana kada su u pitanju autohtone površinske vode, a upravo na ekološki i hidrološki najvrednijim reĉicama zapoĉelo je sprovoĊenje masovne gradnje MHE. Problemi koji su uoĉeni izgradnjom postojećih MHE zahtevaju hitno preispitivanje procedura za izdavanje dozvola, kako za planirane tako i izgraĊene objekte, uz imperativ zabrane dalje gradnje u zaštićenim podruĉjima. Ukoliko bi se sve planirane MHE izgradile, bilo bi obezbeĊeno svega 2-3,5% potreba u energetskom bilansu Srbije na godišnjem nivou, ali bi to znaĉilo da je devastiran najveći deo kvalitetnih vodotokova brdskoplaninskog regiona Srbije. Zbog malog energetskog doprinosa, a fatalnih ekoloških posledica, vlasti u SAD su uklonile više od 1.000 MHE, u periodu 1993-2017.

AB  - In accordance with the National Renewable Energy Action Plan of the Republic of Serbia, approximately 90 small hydro-power plants (SHPP) is constructed so far, and the construction of 850 SHPP, predominantly of derivation type, is planned, in mountainous parts of Serbia, mainly in the protected areas (National parks, Nature parks, Special Nature Reserves). Serbia is the poorest country in the Balkans when it comes to autochthonous surface waters, and that is exactly where the massive construction of SHPP has begun. Problems noted by the construction of existing SHPPs require urgent reassessing of procedures for issuing licenses, both for planned and existing facilities, with the imperative of prohibiting further constructions in the protected areas. Construction of all planned SHPPs, would provide only 2-3,5% of the needs in the energy balance of Serbia. It means that largest part of the high quality watercourses of the hilly-mountainous region of Serbia should be devastated. Due to the small energy contribution and the fatal environmental consequences, the authorities in the US have removed more than 1.000 SHPPs in the period 1993-2017. Similar processes are taking place in France, Spain, Germany, and Sweden. Other ways of producing energy from renewable sources have lower impact on environment, and if the losses of Electric Power Management Company of Serbia, during the transmission of electricity would decrease by only 2%, a quantity of saved energy would eliminate the need for derivative SHPPs.

AB  - Background and Purpose: Although natural hazards cannot be prevented, a better understanding of the processes and scientific methodologies for their prediction can help mitigate their impact. Torrential floods, as one of the consequential forms of the existing erosion processes in synergy with extremely high precipitation, are the most frequent natural hazard at the regional level, which was confirmed by the catastrophic events in May 2014 when huge territories of Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia were flood-struck. The basic input data for the design of protective structures in torrential beds and watershed slopes are the values of the maximal discharge, area sediment yields, and sediment transport. The calculation of these values requires a careful approach in accordance with the characteristics of torrential watersheds, such as the steepness of slopes and beds in torrential watersheds, intensive erosion processes, favorable conditions for fast runoff formation and the transport of huge quantities of sediment. Materials and Methods: The calculations of maximal discharges, area sediment yields, and sediment transport in the experimental watershed of the Cadavica River were based on using two different spatial resolutions of digital elevations models (DEMs) - 20 m resolution DEM, with land use determined from aerial photo images, and the 90 m resolution DEM, with land use determined on the basis of the CORINE database. The computation of maximal discharges was performed by applying a method that combined synthetic unit hydrograph (maximum ordinate of unit runoff q(max)) and Soil Conservation Service methodologies (deriving effective rainfall Pe from total precipitation Pb). The computation was performed for AMC III (Antecedent Moisture Conditions III - high content of water in the soil and significantly reduced infiltration capacity). The computations of maximal discharges were done taking into account the regional analysis of lag time, internal daily distribution of precipitation and classification of soil hydrologic groups (for CN - runoff curve number determination). Area sediment yields and the intensity of erosion processes were estimated on the basis of the "Erosion Potential Method". Results and Conclusions: The selected methodology was performed using different input data related to the DEM resolution. The results were illustrated using cartographic and numerical data. Information on relief conditions is a vital parameter for calculating the elements of the environmental conditions through the elements of maximal discharge, area sediment yields and sediment transport. The higher precision of input data of DEM provides a more precise spatial identification and a quantitative estimation of the endangered sites.

AB  - Highly urbanized areas constantly need new surfaces for building of commercial, residential or infrastructure objects. Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, is a large regional centre with a population of 2 000 000 dwellers, covering a territory of 3500 km(2). The territory of Belgrade is intersected by 187 streams, with watersheds mostly rural in higher parts, urbanized and highly urbanized in lower parts. Torrential floods that once occurred rarely during pre-development period have now become more frequent and destructive due to the transformation of the watershed from rural to urban land uses. Authorities of Belgrade defined a strategy for erosion control and protection from torrential floods, based on the restoration of "blue-green" corridors (residuals of open streams and fragments of forest vegetation). The restoration of "blue-green" corridors helps the establishment of new recreational areas, the preservation of biodiversity and the mitigation of effects of climate change.

AB  - Dams have always been a precious means of collecting, storage and managing of water resources throughout history. Today, there are about 845000 dams with a total volume of about 6000 km(3). Reservoir sedimentation is a very complex problem both worldwide and in Serbia. Natural conditions and anthropogenic activities have strong influence on sedimentation intensity and hydrological processes, which is represented at the experimental watershed of the Dicina River, in Western Serbia. Reservoir of 340000 m(3) was formed after construction of a 17 m high dam, in 1966. Sedimentation of the "Velika Dicina" reservoire was determined on the basis of a survey from October 1966 to October 2011, along longitudinal profile, 750 m upstream from the dam, with 15 cross section profiles (at a spacing of 50 m). Land use changes were analyzed on the basis of a comparison of watershed conditions in 1966 and 2012, using the CORINE methodology and the MapInfo software. Sediment yield of the area and intensity of erosion processes were estimated on the basis of the "Erosion Potential Method" (EPM). The hydrological conditions in 1966 and 2012 (after the performed Erosion and Torrent Control Works-ETCWs) were assessed on the basis of a historical overview of land use changes and their impact on computed maximal discharges. Total quantity of deposited sediment in the reservoir amounts to 18750 m(3). Intensity of sedimentation has continuously been decreasing since 2002 as the consequence of land use changes, performed ETCWs and depopulation. The values of computed maximal discharges and volumes of computed hydrographs are significantly reduced. Depopulation caused a decrease in the anthropogenic pressure on the agricultural and forest surfaces in the watershed. The realization of restoration works contributed to a decrease in the annual yield of erosive material from W-a=16007 m(3) to W-a=1930 m(3).
