Sažetak
The river Odra has been heavily modified as a result of flood protection measures, its use as a watercourse for a water treatment plant and by an increased riverside population. Odra as urban source account for significant quantities of important diffuse pollutants, and is typically badly polluted with toxic metals, hydrocarbons including PAHs, and suspended matter, faecal pathogens and nutrients. The Restoration Odra concept (BIO - ODRA) engages 79 120.76 ha of Odra River Basin and it‘s the first environmental assessment of the river towards the European and international river restoration principles. Concrete restoration actions will be taken on upper reach of river Odra, i.e. from its source to the Sava-Odra Channel including Odra’s tributaries (streams Želin, Siget, Kosnica, Ribnica, Lomnica), but project engages bigger area because of the referent monitoring stations on lower reach of river Odra. Hydro-morphological, habitat and physicochemical data collection and monitoring will be done with permits by private landowners and “Hrvatske Vode”. Concrete actions which are planned will be on the State property. The objective is to establish self-sustaining stream functions and return an ecosystem to a former natural condition. This project also aims to help create a community that is more connected to the environment, with a real appreciation of the critical role of water systems and biodiversity in their lives and lifestyles. In Croatia, we need the community to be completely up to speed and mirroring the WFD overall directions through imaginative, comprehensive and persistent education and awareness programs, and through involvement of community at every step of the way.
