Abstract
The need and importance of studying the water regime in higher and mountainous areas, as well as hypsometric zoning are extremely large in regional and spatial planning. The aspect of spatial regionalization has enabled the understanding of the distribution of water in the basin itself. Based on that, a wider picture of the state of this distribution was obtained in some regional units. Getting involved in solving issues related to gaining values of the river regime’s certain elements by hypsometric zones in the Una basin, the basic parameter which it was started from, was determining the value of precipitation amount. For assessment of flow and specific outflow and height, the relation has been applied: precipitation – elevation – area of hypsometric zones – evapotranspiration. Depending on the area they occupy, in the structure of specific outflows and flows, one can clearly distinguish three zones, up to 400 m altitude, the second hypsometric zone from 400 m up to 1400 m, and the third zone above 1400 m altitude. To determine the water height distribution, there have been used the hypsography of the basin and regional specific outflow dependence on average elevation of the basin. Processing all parameters relevant for studying in this paper is done in the ArcGIS software package. The obtained results of this research are very important and can be applied for the needs of agriculture, water management, urbanism and tourism of this part of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Highlights
In Bosnia and Herzegovina little work has been done, and progressed on a more detailed analysis on water height distribution
The method of outflow dependence on elevation is used for flow breakdown by hypsometric zones, and in that case elementary flow is calculated by form:
The first zone is an area up to 400 m altitude, where specific outflow is 20 l/s/km2. It is a space which includes 40.5% of the total basin area on which total flow is formed of 65.3m3/s or 28.1%
Summary
In Bosnia and Herzegovina little work has been done, and progressed on a more detailed analysis on water height distribution. This imperfection in professional and scientific literature make a large emptiness in hydrologic processing of Bosnian and Herzegovinian rivers. For this very reason, this work has been done by which a scientific contribution was given to better knowledge of hydrologic relations of one of basins in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Spatial planning is not possible without a comprehensive analysis of the distribution, quality and quantity of water resources, as one part of the geosystem, and for the purpose of using the overall information accumulated in databases, at all stages of work, from planning to decisionmaking [8]
