Water balance components during recent floods in Croatia

Floods in continental part of Croatia during 2010, 2013 and 2014 caused high material damage, thus overview from different aspects was needed. In this study, water balance calculated according to the Palmer's model was analyzed. From water balance components (precipitation, loss, evapotranspiration, recharge and runoff) can be distinguished whether flood origins are in local extreme precipitation or precipitation and/or snow melting occurred elsewhere in the upper parts of the basin. The main difference between the floods in 2010, 2013 and 2014 is that water in 2010 came mainly from upper parts of the basins (Kupa and Sava), in 2013 combination of two factors resulted as flood and 2014 the long- lasting precipitation and soil saturation created conditions for flooding.
