Abstract
Increased climate changes and environmental pollution decrease available quality water quantities and increase differences in precipitation amounts by seasons. The task is to provide sufficient quantities of water to supply the population, agriculture, industry, and electricity generation. Sources of quality water are most often located in areas far from the centres of demand. Hence, construction of huge water management systems is necessary. In order to mitigate the variations in the available quantities of water during the year, reservoirs of significant, seasonal capacity must be built. Concerning the power system, its stability is endangered by the growing impact of renewable energy sources with variable electricity generation, which is manifested both on an intraday and seasonal level. Therefore, seasonal reservoirs, with multi-purpose and even multiple use of the same amount of water, represent a winning option and a stronghold on which water and power supply, economic and social security and stability should be built. In the case of Serbia, beside seasonal ones, there are also a spatial differences in the quantities and quality of water in various rivers' basins. This paper presents the idea of building a multi-purpose hydro system, which would solve, or at least - mitigate, all these noted problems.
