Sažetak
Construction of the first large-scale hydrotechnical structures, especially reservoirs in Dinaric karst come to middle of 20th century. The development of industry in this time needed electric energy. It was the main reason for the beginning of intensive research and for the construction work of the large reservoirs in the Dinaric karst region. Generally, first purpose of all those reservoirs were production of electric energy, water supply, socio-economic development etc. During the last 50 years, numerous large regional water systems, hydro electric power plants (HEPP), hydrotechnical tunnels and other large structures have been built in the Dinaric karst (Bonacci 1987). Their construction has greatly influenced the surface and ground water regime in the region. All of these structures were built with the same objective, i.e. to improve the water regime, and hence, the living conditions. Past experience has shown that many of these works have been suboptimal. Paper presents three different examples: 1) Decreasing of the water level of the Vrana Lake at the island of Cres; 2) Consequences caused by the construction of Salakovac reservoir on the Neretva River; and 3) Changes of hydrologic regime of the Rje~ina River.
