Sažetak
The construction of Danube - Sava multipurpose canal is defined in spatial documentation of the Republic of Croatia. The canal’ s multipurpose significance is contained in its three major functions – irrigation, navigation, drainage and a series of minor operations. The strategic objective encompasses not only the irrigation of agricultural soil and the increase of to date highly productive traditional soil but aims also at the change in vegetation crops structure. It refers to marketable plant cultures such as vegetables, fruits, cash crops, medicinal herbs, and seed grains. The canal navigation comprising a combined river – railway connection would cover a 560 km long Danube region-the Adriatic traffic corridor. The canal watershed drainage leads further to the planning of Biđ-Bosut field surface drainage and aims to ensure conditions for extension of subsurface flow on agricultural land. The next goal is the elimination of temporary uncontrolled floods from the Spačva-Studva basin, and its water regime regulation according to forest vegetation demands. Small water improvement is connected with the irrigation of agricultural areas and with the flood protection of the settlements along canals. The canal ensures the potential use of technologic water. The analysis of economic validity of DSMC’ s through three scenarios was carried out. The scenarios simulate possible final phases of canal’ s construction, figuring as functional units. The Scenario I schedules the construction of beginning 15km canals from the Sava river direction for the purpose of irrigation, the Scenario II plans the canal construction in its full length, and the Scenario III includes also the construction of the port of Vukovar on the canal. The given scenarios result from the development strategy and programme, with the emphasis on agricultural land irrigation, Vc corridor construction and enhancement of forests’ water regime for the benefit of accretion and increased environmental requirements. The cost analysis was done according to scheduled scenarios, sections and planned construction phases. The project’ s real cost effectiveness comprises, next to most accurate calculation of preparation, construction, equipment and maintenance costs, also the evaluation of its benefits. Most of the benefits can be expressed in terms of money, some even in details, but some of them can be only assessed. Some benefits can not be defined by financial indicators, however can be clearly discerned. The profits fall into the following categories: direct (the benefits for the future canal’ s owners in terms of money gained by selling of products and services on the market, or by charging the ceding usage), indirect (benefits that can not be realized on the market, or get the earnings to the owners, but in the framework of other actions, or by avoiding damages) and potential (benefits that can assume different shapes in near future). The investment analysis, income and costs estimation and economic assessment were conducted on the basis of costs and benefits according to the scenario.
