Iron Gate III Hydroelectric Power Station
Iron Gate III or Đerdap III () is a planned pumped storage power station on the Danube in Serbia, near the village of Dobra in the Golubac municipality. It would be the third Iron Gate power station, after Iron Gate I in 1972 and Iron Gate II in 1985. Unlike the first two, which were joint projects of Yugoslavia and Romania, the Iron Gate III would lie entirely on Serbian territory. Original project Plans for the power station were drafted in 1977 by the Energoprojekt holding and Jaroslav Černi Institute. The village of Dobra, in the Golubac municipality, at the Danube's , was chosen as the construction site. Iron Gate III was planned as a pumped hydro station, which would pump water into several uphill reservoirs on the Brodica, Pesača and Železnički Potok localities. The tunnels were to lift water from an altitude of (Danube level) up to (uphill reservoirs). The reservoirs would also accept water from neighboring streams and collect a total of of water.

Karst
Karst () is a topography formed from the dissolution of soluble carbonate rocks such as limestone and Dolomite (rock), dolomite. It is characterized by features like poljes above and drainage systems with sinkholes and caves underground. There is some evidence that karst may occur in more weathering-resistant rocks such as quartzite given the right conditions. Subterranean drainage may limit surface water, with few to no rivers or lakes. In regions where the dissolved bedrock is covered (perhaps by debris) or confined by one or more superimposed non-soluble rock strata, distinctive karst features may occur only at subsurface levels and can be totally missing above ground. The study of ''paleokarst'' (buried karst in the stratigraphic column) is important in petroleum geology because as much as 50% of the world's Oil and gas reserves and resource quantification, hydrocarbon reserves are hosted in carbonate rock, and much of this is found in porous karst systems.
