Sažetak
Using the source of the Kupa river as the example the paper contemplates the problem of planning regional use and protection of strategically valuable water reserve in the high karst.The initial limitations to a more intensive use of water resources are consequential to significant intra-annual fluctuations of water regime and a relatively low yield when compared to the total water potencial. The problem is compounded by the fact that Kupa, except for its source which is entirelly in Croatia, is a transboundary river marking the border between Croatia and Slovenia. This paper has placed a particular emphasis on analysing hydrological aspects of the existing water regime, whose impact on futher elaborations of possible solutions are of great significance. The paper also offers proposals for a possible approach to future solutions to the issue within the context of the EU Water Framework Directive. The paper analyses hydrological elements that have a more significant impact on the choice of potential solutions and the assessment of optimum use of water resources of the high karst in the upper part of the Kupa river catchment area, especially within the context of the observed climate changes and a planned increase in water demands. It further emphsizes analyses of the characteristics of fluctuations of the typical hydrological values and their trends, the occurence of extreme hydrological conditions as well as the global and seasonal changes of water regime.
