Sažetak
The Sava River Basin, a major sub-basin of the Danube River Basin in South-East Europe, is shared by five countries and hosts a population of roughly 8.5 million. Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia are Parties to the Framework Agreement on the Sava River Basin (FASRB). Its implementation body is the International Sava River Basin Commission (ISRBC), which is responsible for the development of joint plans and programs for, inter alia, sustainable water management. The ISRBC has developed a Protocol on Sediment Management to the FASRB, which affirms the need for efficient cooperation among the Parties and promotes sustainable sediment management (SSM) solutions. To respond to the above-mentioned needs, a project has been launched upon the initiative of UNESCO’s Venice Office, together with the UNESCO International Sediment Initiative (ISI), the European Sediment Network (SedNet) and the ISRBC. The main objective of this project is to develop and validate practical guidance on how to achieve a SSM plan on the river-basin scale, using the Sava River Basin as a showcase. Another step towards the SSM plan was the preparation of a sediment balance for the main course of the Sava River (BALSES), as a basis for sustainable transboundary sediment and water management.
