A field visit to the MoWaCLIM monitoring locations in the Neretva Valley was organized. This visit was incorporated into a two-day project event. The target audience were project partners, representatives of relevant institutions, and the scientific community in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. All participants inspected the monitoring infrastructure directly on site.
The initial point of departure was Lučki Most in Metković. Their ongoing work was presented by partners from FGAG (Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Geodesy, University of Split). The methodology used to measure discharge at this hydrological cross-section of the Neretva River is being enhanced.
The second location was Koševo Vrbovci. One of the three piezometric monitoring stations operated by FGAG is located here. Groundwater level, temperature, and electrical conductivity are continuously measured by this station. These data make it easier to track the dynamics of saltwater intrusion into the alluvial aquifer.
The tour concluded after visiting the HAPIH pilot site in Crepina. The Croatian Agency for Agriculture and Food presented the operation of the agro-meteorological station that is already in place. They provided an explanation of how the collected data is employed to detect water stress and early warning of crop diseases in citrus crops. In addition, they demonstrated how to calculate temperature sums that are important for agricultural management.
The MoWaCLIM project is 85% co-financed by the Interreg IPA VI-A CBC HR-BA-ME 2021–2027 Programme. The implementation period lasts until 31 August 2027.
