Sažetak
Monitoring of the environmental status of reservoirs has a long tradition in Croatia. Scope and contents of the monitoring are determined by the regulation in force, project requirements and issued water acts, as well as environment impact assessment. Monitoring starts in the project planning and designing stages (by determining the existing state) and continues during the period of structure operation to achieve structure safety and improve of use. Meteorological and hydrological monitoring is a part of environmental monitoring. The EU Water Framework Directive emphasizes the importance of surface waters and groundwater monitoring, to obtain baseline information and impact assessment of the water status for hydro technical structures. The member states are required to monitor status of all waters for each river basin, in order to achieve clear and comprehensive overview of water status. Article 8 of the EU Water Framework Directive explicitly stipulates the obligation to establish monitoring of surface waters and groundwater status. Since Croatia is in the accession process to the EU, Croatian legislation in the field of water policy has to be harmonized with the EU legislation for the same field. According to the Amendments to the Water Act (OG 150/05), Croatian Waters is responsible for monitoring of all water status, while according to the Construction Act (OG 175/2003.), the obligation to carry out the monitoring of hydro technical structures is the responsibility of the users as well. Croatian Chamber of Architects and Civil Engineers, Department of Civil Engineering has initiated the development of technical regulation for monitoring of reservoirs and retention storages. The paper will present the approach, objectives and the goal of the meteorological and hydrological storage reservoirs’ monitoring as a part of the integral water status monitoring.
