Sažetak
The paper deals with the variations and trends of some water balance components: the soil water content, evaporation loss from the soil (from the surface and underlying layers), evaporation, ground water recharge and runoff, calculated by means of Palmer procedure at Osijek during this century (1900-1995). Besides the meteorological input parameters necessary for the water balance calculations, i.e. precipitation, temperature and relative humidity, the pedological characteristics of this area have also been taken into account. Fluctuations have been presented by means of the 11-year binomial average series and linear trends tested by means of the Mann-Kendall rank test. For the significant trend of water balance components, a progressive analysis of the time series was performed in order to determine the beginning of this phenomenon. The results showed a significant increase in potential evapotranspiration and decrease in runoff and soil water content.
