Abstract

Rijeka Ombla, koja je jedna od najkraćih rijeka u svijetu, pripada Jadranskom slivu. Izvor
rijeke Omble nalazi se na području Dubrovačko-neretvanske županije, sjeverno od
Dubrovnika, u mjestu Komolac podno stjenovitog brdskog masiva poznatog kao Golubov
Kamen. Svojim izgledom i izdašnošću predstavlja krški fenomen koji je nastao na
kontaktu karbonatnih naslaga navučenih na kompleks eocenskih flišnih naslaga. Šire
promatrano pripada slivu rijeke Trebišnjice, koje po bogatstvu prirodnih obilježja spada
u jedno od najinteresantnijih krških područja u Europi. Izgradnjom hidroenergetskog
sustava Trebišnjica, vode posrednog sliva Omble zadržavaju se u akumulacijama nakon
čega se tunelima usmjeravaju prema nizvodnim hidroelektranama zbog čega je došlo do
promjene prirodnog režima vode ovog izvora.
Sigurna voda za piće neophodna je za život svakog pojedinca te je potreba za njom iz
dana u dan sve veća. Na sreću, Hrvatska je zemlja koja je bogata vodom pa isto tako i
cijelo dubrovačko područje. Izvor rijeke Omble jedan je od najizdašnijih krških izvora
koji svojim kapacitetom od 520 l/s za vrijeme maksimalne potrošnje premašuje
cjelokupne potrebe Grada Dubrovnika i Dubrovačkog primorja za pitkom vodom. Voda
nije samo komercijalni proizvod nego i opće dobro i ograničeni resurs koji je potrebno
zaštiti i upotrebljavati na održivi način. Zbog toga je nužno praćenje stanja kakvoće i
količine vode te postupanja u skladu s time.
U radu je prikazan hidrogeološki opis sliva i izvora Omble te su obrađeni podatci za
analizu količine istjecanja i kakvoće sirove vode na izvorištu rijeke Omble.

Abstract (english)

The Ombla River, which is one of the shortest rivers in the world, is part of the Adriatic
catchament area. The spring of the river Ombla is located in the area of Dubrovnik-
Neretva County, north of Dubrovnik, in the town of Komolac at the foot of the rocky
mountain massif known as Golubov Kamen. With its apperance and abundance, it
represents a karst phenomenon that was created at the contact of carbonate deposits on
top of a complex of Eocene flysch deposits. Viewed more broadly, it belongs to the
Trebišnjica river catchament, which is one of the most interesting karst areas in Europe
due to its wealth of natural features. Because of the construction of the Trebišnjica
hydropower system, the waters of the intermediate Ombla catchment area are retained in
reservoirs. They are then directed through tunnels to the downstream hydroelectric power
plants, which has caused a change in the natural water regime of this source.
Safe drinking water is a necessity for every individual, and the need for it is increasing
day by day. Fortunately, Croatia is a country rich in water, and so is the entire Dubrovnik
area. The source of the Ombla River is one of the richest karst springs. With its capacity
of 520 l/s during maximum consumption it exceeds the entire drinking water needs of the
town of Dubrovnik and the Dubrovnik coast. Water is not only a commercial product, but
also a common good and a limited resource that needs to be protected and used in a
sustainable way. For this reason, it is necessary to monitor the state of its quality and
quantity and to act accordingly.
The paper presents a hydrogeological description of the Ombla basin and its spring as
well as the data which are necessary for the analysis of the amount of water outflow and
the quality of raw water at the spring of the River Ombla.
