“…Also, Djordjevic et al [85] concluded that apart from agriculture and urbanization, other factors have influenced the degradation of watercourses and their riparian areas in the Drina River basin, more specifically, undefined boundaries of water lands, pastures or agricultural households. In addition, it is important to emphasize that coastal erosion is present in the Drina basin, which leads to landscape degradation (lateral migration), socioeconomic (land loss, land-use change, economic losses) and geopolitical consequences [86].…”

The paper analyzes the water quality of hydrological resources in the wider area of Tara National Park (NP Tara) in Serbia and the opinions of the local community and the national park visitors about the grade of the possible damage. The pollution level of the Drina River at the Bajina Bašta hydrological station was analyzed using the Water Pollution Index. The results showed that water quality corresponded to classes II (clean water) or III (moderately polluted water) and revealed the presence of organic pollution. In addition, using a survey combined with field research, the perceptions of local inhabitants and national park visitors related to environmental pollution were analyzed. The community believed that tourism does not cause significant damage to the environment. However, the older and more educated groups of residents and visitors had a more critical perception of the environmental impact of tourism. The results also indicated that the perceptions of visitors were mostly in agreement with measured water quality in the Drina River. The findings of this study have important implications for the management of protected areas and future policies related to national parks.

“…What is likely, and for which we have no concrete proof, is that the anomalies in the relationship discharge-SSC arise in situations where bank erosion takes place, and all the material passes through the gauging point, and that it has not been initiated by discharge water. It belongs to the different nature of the problem that is well expressed in the Lower Kolubara Basin (Roksandić et al, 2011, Dragićević et al, 2013a. That is why in the records of the final results on the annual basis, we will not be able to turn them into specific erosion, at least not in the classical sense which implies the denudation process.…”

The previous methodology of sampling and determining the suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in the rivers of Serbia is characterized by a number of disadvantages, so that any research of this kind has a large water management impact. In the largest number of hydrological stations in Serbia, daily SSC were obtained based on only one sampling, which raises the question of the representativeness of such sample. Previous SSC – water discharge relationship and detailed analyses of errors in calculating the suspended sediment transport on the profile of Draževac were done for the year of 2004, when the annual difference was very high, which required a very detailed analysis and methodological improvements. In order to define the sediment regime in the Kolubara River, precise monitoring of SSC has been implemented since 2013. The Kolubara River has an unfavourable water regime which is reflected in the excessiveness of water runoff, with floods that are sudden, expressive and short-term, and long-term low waters, so, that are why it is characterized by a large discharge and SSC variability. Incidentally, monitoring also covered the year of 2014, when the area of western Serbia (in particular the Kolubara River Basin) was under the influence of extreme climate events that strongly reflected on the hydrological condition with the absolute highest daily discharge. A total of 220 water samples were collected on Draževac gauging station in 2014, in order to determine SSC and sediment discharge. The total number of days covered was 206, which means that there were even more samplings per day, when the discharge was changing fast. The minimal daily measured SSC was only 0.0016 g/l and the maximal recorded value of SSC was 2.6122 g/l and was measured in May at the water discharge of 1 260 m3/s. Тhe total amount of suspended sediment discharge at the profile of Draževac in 2014 was 1 104 435 t (the specific suspended sediment yield – 308 t/sqkm/yr). The main objective of this study is to improve SSC – water discharge relationship in the Kolubara River based on the extreme hydrological conditions in 2014.

“…In addition, lateral channel migration is responsible for extensive destruction of arable lands and usually threatens human environment, especially agricultural areas (Bertalan et al, 2018). In general, consequences, caused by the processes of lateral channel migration and riverbank erosion, can be categorized into four groups: socio-economic (land loss and land use changes, impact on population, settlements and economic activities), natural (changes of different hydrological indicators and vegetation cover), ecological (impact on habitats) (Langović, 2020), geopolitical (when the meandering river represents the state border) (Dragićević et al, 2013;Palmer et al, 2014). Land loss due riverbank erosion is permanent, so the effect of this process is more significant (Yousefi et al, 2017).…”

“…Lateral channel migration and bank erosion are the most important geomorphological processes of the alluvial plains in the southern part of the Pannonian Basin and its southern rim (Blanka & Kiss 2011;Zaharia et al, 2011;Floriou, 2011;Roksandić et al, 2011;Dragićević et al, 2012Dragićević et al, , 2013Dragićević et al, , 2015Tošić et al, 2014;Lovrić & Tošić, 2016;Bertalan et al, 2019). In accordance, on the territory of Serbia, bank erosion is singled out as a very dynamic and intensive fluvial process, which has a significant impact on the various aspects of society, economy, and environment (Langović, 2020).…”

Riverbank erosion and lateral channel migration are important geomorphological processes which cause various landscape, socio-economic, and environmental consequences. Although those processes are present on the territory of Serbia, there is no available data about the soil loss caused by riverbank erosion for the entire country. In this study, the spatial and temporal dynamics of the riverbank erosion for the largest internal rivers in Serbia (Velika Morava, Zapadna Morava, Juzna Morava, Pek, Mlava, Veliki Timok, Kolubara) was assessed using remote sensing and GIS. The aim of this paper is to determine the total and average soil loss over large-scale periods (1923-2020), comparing data from the available sources (aerial photographs, satellite images, and different scale paper maps). Results indicated that lateral migration caused significant problems through land loss (approximately 2,561 ha), especially arable land, and land use changes in river basins, but also economic loss due to the reduction of agricultural production. Total and average soil loss was calculated for five most representative meanders on all studied rivers, and on the basis of the obtained values, certain regularities about further development and dynamics of riverbank movement are presented. A better understanding of river channel migration in this area will be of a great importance for practical issues such as predicting channel migration rates for river engineering and planning purposes, soil and water management and land use changes, environment protection.
