Abstract
The Sava River, a tributary of the Danube River, was the largest national river basin in the former Yugoslavia and had a population of seven million [6]. A small part of the basin has always belonged to Albania. The basin is now international, its catchment area providing drainage for four countries: Slovenia occupies 12% of its total watershed area, Croatia, 16%, Bosnia and Herzegovina (BIH), 40%, and the Federal Republic (FR) of Yugoslavia 32%. The Sava River and its tributaries are both boundary and transboundary rivers. Some national co-ordinated water management systems and construction projects are now divided between the independent states.
