Anti-Hail Protection—Assessment of Financial Effects on the Territory of Belgrade

Abstract

Abstract:The aim of this work is to assess damage to the City of Belgrade caused by the unfavorable weather condition of hail due to the absence of anti-hail defense of the city, and to argumentatively point out the necessity of introducing new technical-technological systems for preventing the effects of adverse weather conditions. The results are based on the direct correlation-analyses of two real unfavorable weather events and the estimated financial damage caused by these events. The overall calculation also takes into account financial investments (new financial model) necessary to establish two essentially different systems for anti-hail protection. The damage caused by the hail on the territory of the City of Belgrade and the financial investment in anti-hail protection to reduce it are empirically established for the first time. It is shown how the damage could be transformed to profit, as the financial investment in anti-hail protection is lower than the damage that hail can cause.

Sixty Years of Hail Suppression Activities in Mendoza, Argentina: Uncertainties, Gaps in Knowledge and Future Perspectives

“…This smaller hail may then melt during its fall before reaching the ground. While these techniques were used in several countries, its effects were very different, even when implementing identical sampling technique and amount of seeding material (Vukelić et al, 2018).…”

Liability for damage caused by omission to ensure hailstorm protection

“…Уколико изостану потребне активности, или ако се предузимају на неправилан начин, постоји правни основ за утврђивање одговорности РХМЗ, у складу са чланом 172 ЗОО. Имајући у виду константу градоносних облака у домаћим климатским условима и оптерећење буџета Републике Србије накнадама штета услед грàда, чини се неодговорним потпуни изостанак званичних процена претрпљених штета на републичком нивоу у годишњим размерама (Vukelić, Cvetković, Gržetić, Simić, Miodragović, Lazić, Zarić, Pešić, Vulić, 2018).…”
