Situation of the extreme waters of Grlja and Lim in the area of the Plav-Gusinje basin

Abstract

This paper presents an overview of the extreme values of maximum and minimum discharge (at two hydrological stations on the Grlja watercourse in the town of Vusanje and on the Lim River in the town of Plav, where the hydrological station is also located), which play an important role in the construction of flood protection facilities and the dimensioning of hydrotechnical objects. Based on eight-hour data series from the two hydrological stations HS Plav on the Lim River and HS Vusanje on the Grlja watercourse for the period from 2008 to 2021, the available data were used to apply statistical methods (Pearson 3, logPearson 3 and Gumbel) for the assessment of small and large floods. The data for the Grlja watercourse in the period from 1963 to 1995 for maximum flows were also analyzed.
