2. Introduction of the Project
Introduction of the Project
• NTMP is a regional cooperation project ‐ Republic of
Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
• Transboundary river basin on the territory of:
T b d i b i th t it f
• Republic of Croatia
• Dubrovnik‐Neretva County and
• Split‐Dalmatia County
• Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H)
• Federation of BiH (FB&H)
• Herzegovina‐Neretva Canton (7)/
Western Herzegovina Canton (8)
• Herzeg‐Bosnia Canton (10)
• Republika Srpska (RS)
p p ( )
• Trebinje Region
• The Neretva is:
• the longest river of the Adriatic catchment area (215
km long, with only 22 km in Croatia)
• the water richest tributary of the Adriatic Sea on the
the water –richest tributary of the Adriatic Sea on the
territory of these two countries
• complex karst hydrography makes it difficult to define
the exact boundaries of the catchment area (around
10,500 km2)
• the water regime of the Neretva River basin has been
significantly modified by the construction of
hydropower facilities in the upper and middle sections
of the Neretva River and on the Trebišnjica River with 7
reservoirs built from 1954 to 1985.
