Extreme droughts have appeared in the year 2003, and extreme precipitation in the year 2006. on the area of northwest Croatia. Its influences on architecture and landscape will be shown in this paper. Quantities of precipitation within a certain area and during a certain period of time very from time to time and are related to season of the year and soil moisture. In a more general sence, precipitation certainly has an effect on the state of the surroundings, i.e. the landscape ; this paper deals with the influence of precipitation and droughts on architecture, i.e. buildings and structures in a technical sense.
