Description:
Neretva is the largest river of the eastern part of the Adriatic basin. It has been harnessed and controlled to a large extent by several HE power-plants and their storage lakes, but it still recognized for its beauty and the diversity of its landscape. At its delta, a specific way of human living has developed, which now is passing away.

Rivers are the backbone of human society, but freshwater ecosystems have suffered a lot from an increasing population and the associated development pressures. One of the most valuable natural resource of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia is its freshwater richness contained by an abundant wellspring and clear rivers, indeed, a natural treasure of great importance yet to be evaluated, acknowledge and appreciated. From the Drina river on the east to the Una river on the west and from the Sava river on the north to the Adriatic sea on the south, Bosnia and Herzegovina is genuine European freshwater reservoir. Situated in between all these major regional rivers the Neretva basin contain most significant portion of fresh drinking water.

In that dense water system network the Neretva holds a significant position among rivers of Dinaric Alps region, regarding its divers ecosystems and habitats, flora and fauna, cultural and historic heritage and most importantly its clean, fresh drinking water.
