Vrelo (river)
Vrelo ( sr-Cyrl, Врело) is a right tributary of the river Drina in the settlement of Perućac, Bajina Bašta Municipality in Serbia. The river is only 365 meters long and is probably one of the shortest rivers in the world. Course The stream springs out of a large rock. It forms a small waterfall and then flows mostly slow, with crystal clear water. After it passes under the concrete bridge, it rapids over the natural obstacles made of rocks and tree roots. It fastens, starts to resound and foam, before it reached the waterfall and falls into the Drina. Characteristics Due to its length (same number of meters as days per year), many call it the "Godina" ( sr-Cyrl, Година, lit=year) and say it's one year long. The river has a strong spring and after its short course it flows into the Drina via a waterfall A waterfall is any point in a river or stream where water flows over a vertical drop or a series of steep drops. Waterfalls also occur where meltwa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Karst Spring
A karst spring or karstic spring is a Spring (hydrology), spring (exsurgence, outflow of groundwater) that is part of a karst hydrological system. Description Because of their often conical or inverted bowl shape, karst springs are also known in German-speaking lands as a ''Topf'' ("pot") which is reflected in names such as Aachtopf (the source of the Radolfzeller Aach) or Blautopf (the source of the Blau (river), Blau river in Blaubeuren). Karst springs often have a very high yield (hydrology), yield or Discharge (hydrology), discharge rate, because they are often fed by underground drainage from a large catchment basin. Because the springs are usually the terminus of a cave drainage system at the place where a river cave reaches the Earth's surface, it is often possible to enter the caves from karst springs for exploration. Large karst springs are located in many parts of the world; the largest ones are believed to be in Papua New Guinea, with others located in Mediterranean ...

Drina
The Drina ( sr-Cyrl, Дрина, ) is a long river in the Balkans, which forms a large portion of the border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia. It is the longest tributary of the Sava River and the longest karst river in the Dinaric Alps which belongs to the Danube River drainage basin. Its name is derived from the Roman name of the river () which in turn is derived from Greek (Ancient Greek: ) which is derived from the native name of Illyrian origin. But, this etymology is not sure.Illyrian languages are poorly documented (only ~50 glosses, mostly personal/place names). - No surviving texts exist, unlike Thracian (which has ~200 inscriptions and loanwords in Greek). - Scholars often label any pre-Slavic Balkan hydronym as "Illyrian" by default, even without proof.We don’t know if Drinus was Illyrian, Thracian, or another lost Paleo-Balkan language. - The safest claim: Drina derives from a ancient Indo-European root (*dhreu-*), preserved in Latin Drinus, but i ...

Waterfall
A waterfall is any point in a river or stream where water flows over a vertical drop or a series of steep drops. Waterfalls also occur where meltwater drops over the edge of a tabular iceberg or ice shelf. Waterfalls can be formed in several ways, but the most common method of formation is that a river courses over a top layer of resistant bedrock before falling onto softer rock, which erodes faster, leading to an increasingly high fall. Waterfalls have been studied for their impact on species living in and around them. Humans have had a distinct relationship with waterfalls since prehistory, travelling to see them, exploring and naming them. They can present formidable barriers to navigation along rivers. Waterfalls are religious sites in many cultures. Since the 18th century, they have received increased attention as tourist destinations, sources of hydropower, andparticularly since the mid-20th centuryas subjects of research.

List Of Rivers Of Serbia
Many rivers flowing entirely or partially within Serbia proper, and others are just border rivers. They are damned for the purpose of generating hydroelectric power or as water reservoirs, creating most of the lakes of Serbia. Drainage basins All rivers in Serbia belong to the drainage basins of three seas: Black Sea, Adriatic Sea or Aegean Sea. The largest in area, Black Sea drainage basin, covers an area of 81,261 km2 or 92% of the territory of Serbia. The entire basin is drained by only one river, the Danube, which flows into the Black Sea. All major rivers in Serbia, like Tisa, Sava, Velika Morava and Drina belong to it. The Adriatic Sea drainage basin covers an area of 4,500 km2 or 5% of territory of Serbia. It comprises the western half of the Kosovo and Metohija and it is mostly drained by one river, the White Drin, which in Albania meets the Black Drin to create the Drin river, which flows into the Adriatic Sea. Smaller portion of it is drained by Crni ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
