Abstract
Today, there is little doubt in academic circles on global scale that the phenomenon of global warming is taking place, with the increase of carbon-dioxide due to burning of fossil fuels being labeled as the main reason. According to referent data, the average temperature will have risen for approximately 2–3.5 °C, which presents a true danger for the functioning of human population and numerous animal and plant species. In addition, climate change significantly affects the regime of watercourses in the geographic area of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where frequent phenomena of extreme drought periods and rainfall peaks are recorded, thus affecting the water management facilities and the health of people. In May 2014, at the occurrence of high waters and consequent flooding of numerous settlements in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it was not possible to record the values of water level and flow. With a view to protecting riverbanks and their surrounding terrain for future hydrologic support (for instance, project documentation, height of the embankment), these values must be set.
