Sažetak
The paper addresses the situation of inland waterways in the Republic of Croatia, with special reference to technical characteristics. First, the paper presents the current situation including Croatian official classification accepted both by the Sava Commission and the United Nations’ The Economic Commission for Europe in AGN agreement. Croatia signed the AGN agreement in 1997, and the contract became effective in 1999. According to the Contract the following navigable ways are listed into the system of European navigable ways in Croatia: E 80, the Danube river, VI.c class ; E 80-08, Drava to Osijek, IV. class ; E 80-12, the river of Sava from Jamena to Sisak, IV. class and E80-10 – the future Danube-Sava multipurpose canal from Vukovar to Šamac, the length of 61, 5 km, V-b class. In the cases of the rivers Sava and Drava the current actual condition of Croatian navigable rivers' classes does not meet completely the above mentioned requirements. In The Strategy of Croatian Republic's physical planning the navigable way classes of the Sava and Drava rivers are planned to be higher in the long-term period, e.g. V.b. The paper involves the basic presentation of the rivers of Danube, Sava, Drava, Kupa and Una. Further follows the short-term and long-term development of inland waterways in Croatia, contained also in the AGN Contract of United States. The short-term development entails the improvement of navigable waterways on the Danube, Sava and Drava, by the river training works, while the long-term development involves the canalization of both the Sava and the Drava. As the Croatian navigable network is sparse and connected over Serbia, it would be the construction of artificial Danube-Sava multipurpose canal to connect it over Croatia and contribute to its density. The Croatian interest and development activities are directed towards the Danube-Sava multipurpose canal, whose construction has begun, but only in the irrigation part. The activities and plans concerning the Danube-Sava multipurpose canal and the river of Sava as part of the state politics of the Republic of Croatia will be presented into details. The time period of 61, 5 km Canal would stretch possibly throughout 4 phases. Each of proposed development phases represent one hydro-engineering unit that could independently function until the extension in the next phase. The development within each single phase could run throughout several stages depending on area development and scheduled utilization: irrigation, drainage and navigation. The traffic function would be partly introduced in the Phase II (8-10 years) and entirely in the Phase IV (15-20 years), whereas the irrigation function will become realized in only 2-3 years.
