Abstract

Analysis of floods in the part of the West Morava river basin, particularly in the area of the E-761 highway under construction, aims to assess the impact of floods on infrastructure and the environment, as well as to evaluate the influence of the highway structure on the flood waters flow, with the goal of identifying risk reduction etc. mitigation measures.

Using hydrological (HEC-HM v.4.11) and hydraulic models (HEC-RAS v.6.0), meteorological parameters (precipitation), hydrological (discharge), and hydraulic (water levels and flood wave propagation) data were analyzed. By incorporating geographic data (GIS) and terrain topography information, a detailed assessment of flood risks in the areas influenced by the highway was conducted.

The results of the analysis highlight critical sections of the basin where there is an increased risk of flooding, which could threaten the construction and functionality of the E-761 highway. This analysis provides important information for infrastructure planning and design, ensuring that the E-761 highway is resilient to floods and that negative environmental impacts are minimized.

The case study focuses on the Riljačka River, a tributary within the West Morava basin, which intersects the E-761 highway corridor.
