  • Hydrological structure of the catchment during the floods
    Brilly, Mitja ...
    The Savinja River is one of the tributaries of the Sava River in Slovenia. Savinja River catchment covers 1,851 km2 and it is located in the eastern part of Slovenia. This catchment is one of the ... areas with the highest flood risk in Slovenia. Extreme floods happened in 1990, 1998 and 2007 in the Savinja River catchment. There are significant relations in coincidence in timing of flood peaks in tributaries and main stream in any catchment. The specific coincidence is also on inflow of the Savinja River to the Sava River. The coincidence of flood peaks depends on the space structure of the catchment and characteristics of rainfall events that are specific for extraordinary flood events. Knowing that we could properly design flood protection measures with optimal results. The same measures on different subcatchments could increase or decrease flood peaks in the main stream.
