Sažetak
Water resources management in karst areas is a very complex task, especially with regard to solving of floods and pollution protection problem. It also refers to flood protection of Vrgorsko polje which is the subject of this paper. Complexity of water system and socio-economic characteristics in the broader area requires integral problem solving by analyses of several alternatives with different technical and technological features as well as socio-economic and ecological impacts. In this paper, elaborated integral approach to problem solving will be presented as well as system analyses and the procedure of multicriteria selection of an optimum solution for karstic polje flood protection. The problem was successfully solved using the procedure with two basic steps. The first step analysed possible basic solution concepts while the second one analysed engineering solutions in compliance with the adopted concepts. Obtained results confirm the validity of such approach that resulted in elaboration of flood protection project acceptable for all participants in the system.
