Floods and droughts (low flows) risks management
Protocol on flood protection to the FASRB Protocol entered into force on Nov 27, 2015 Protocol regulates the issues of sustainable flood protection in the Sava River Basin caused by: (a) natural phenomena such as high flows of rivers, as well as ice jamming, droughts, (b) artificial impacts like water discharge from reservoirs and retentions induced by dam collapsing or inadequate handling, etc., with aim to prevent or limit flood hazard, to reduce flood risk and to reduce or mitigate detrimental consequences of floods Parties agreed to cooperate in the following activities: 1. Preparation of the Sava Flood Risk Management Plan (Sava FRMP) 2. Establishment of the Sava Flood Forecasting, Warning and Alarm System (Sava FFWS) 3. Exchange of information significant for sustainable flood protection 4. Implementation of all mutually agreed measures and activities
Protocol implementation Article 4 of the Protocol states: With aim to achieve the objectives of this Protocol, and on the basis of documents as referred to in Article 3 paragraph 1 of this Protocol, the Parties shall cooperate on: (a) Preparation of the Program for development of the Sava FRMP - The approval is expected (b) Undertaking of Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment - Joint Sava PFRA Report prepared in 2014 - link (c) Preparation of Flood Maps - Joint FHR maps planned within development of the Sava FRMP (and US Gov. Support) (d) Development of the Sava FRMP (e) Establishment of the Sava FFWS (f) Exchange of information significant for sustainable flood protection WBIF project - Sava GIS established (including FRM module, for spatial data exchange in accordance with the EU FD, as well as for the H&M data exchange within Sava HIS) (g) Implementation of all measures and activities of mutual interest, originating from planning documents or activities from items (a) to (f) above or other mutually agreed measures and activities - Preparation of the procedures for emergency flood defense, in a paper form, initiated within the IPA Floods Programme

To support the development of hydrological and hydraulic models of the Sava River Basin, tools that will strengthen multilateral cooperation in the basin, primarily in the area of flood protection 2. To support activities leading to the preparation of a flood risk management plan as well as the development of the system for flood forecasting 3. To establish the models that could be used for other purposes in future (modeling sediment transport, water quality, climate change analysis, etc.)
