Sažetak
Kopački rit Nature Park, as a valuable wetland area in Republic of Croatia, was very often subject of different investigations. The most of them were dealing with biodiversity and its biological values. There are small number of investigations on a water regime, the basis of wetland ecosystem, and its flooding impacts on variety and existence of its species. This paper gives a contribution to hydrological research of Kopački rit with analysis of its flooding frequency depending on Danube River water level in the upstream section from 1380 rkm and 1433rkm. Also, it pays attention to importance of flooding regime for survival of its biological communities. Fluctuations of discharges cause changes in water velocities and shear stress which have influence on processes of erosion and sedimentation. Results obtained in the paper are magnitude of flooded areas and volume of water spread in the floodplain and Nature Park for the floods of 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 years return periods.
