Sustainable management of water resources

The hydro-geographical position of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) extends across two sub-catchment areas: the Adriatic Sea basin covering 24.3 per cent of the country and the Black Sea river basin covering 75.7 per cent of the country. The main water courses of the Black Sea basin are the Una, Vrbas, Ukrina, Bosna and Drina rivers. In the Adriatic Sea catchment area, the main rivers are the Neretva, Trebisnjica and Cetina rivers. One of the basic characteristics of the hydrographic network in BiH is that a high proportion of the water courses form part of international water courses.
