o:1058 Concept of flood early warning systems in Serbia en Abstract: The occurrence of high waters due to climate change is an increasingly common phenomenon, especially in watercourses where there are built-up flood protection systems. Also, recent high-water levels are already surpassing historically recorded flood events, thus putting at risk existing flood protection systems, which were designed according to superseded criteria defined by statistical data modelling. Reducing risks and strengthening resilience and preparedness for effective flood response is achieved by timely and reliable flood warning based on hydrological forecasts. The aim of this paper is to present the concept of a flood early warning system that relies on real-time measurements and simulation models to provide vigilance maps to key experts in flood management. This paper presents an example of the concept in the Kolubara River basin, as well as the implementation of the pilot system in the Tamnava River basin, the left tributary of the Kolubara River. 1552100 978-86-82565-55-0 2022-11-21T11:34:03.650Z 44 no 46 Vladislava Bartoš Divac Institut za vodoprivredu "Jaroslav Černi" 0009-0004-4908-859X Luka Stojadinović Institut za vodoprivredu "Jaroslav Černi" person Marija Milovanović Institut za vodoprivredu "Jaroslav Černi" person 0000-0003-3449-8647 Predrag Vojt Institut za vodoprivredu "Jaroslav Černi" person 0009-0003-9975-3896 Ivan Marisavljević Institut za vodoprivredu "Jaroslav Černi" person application/pdf 4774525 https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:1058 no yes 1 70 92000004 71A04 Contemporary Water Management: Challenges and Research Directions, Proceedings of the International Scientific Conference in the Honour of 75 Years of the Jaroslav Černi Water Institute, October 19-20 2022, Belgrade 269 283 Jaroslav Černi Water Institute 2022 Received: September 20, 2022 Revision: September 22, 2022 Accepted: September 26, 2022
