An Impact of a Level of Maintenance of Hydro-melioration Systems for Drainage on the Plant Crops in Croatia

This paper is presenting major indicators of the existing level of the constructed hydro-melioration systems for surface and underground drainage in Croatia. In order to have effective drainage from agricultural and other grounds it is important to maintain hydro-melioration systems and facilities. The indicators of the maintenance of these systems for gravitated drainage are presented through different works done and their expenses. After the Serbian attack on Croatia and war in 1991 and 1992, which followed by difficult situation in agriculture, the national financial means for basin waters have been shortened and the regular maintenance of hydro-melioration systems has suffered. The consequence was low level of drainage and excess waters from agricultural and other grounds, which caused less plant crops. As sown wheat and corn are 62 % of all sown fields in Croatia, this paper is presenting data on plant crops that depend o the level of constructed and maintained hydro-melioration systems.
