NERA ETWA Ubijanje rijeke

It is believed that the name Neretva has its origins in the Illyrian language and is a result of Illyrian NERA-ETWA meaning heavenly water (Heavenly river), this does not prevent total destruction of river Neretva upstream from place place Ulog , Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The most beautiful river in Balkan peninsula Neretva threaten to disappear by bad management of mini hydro power plants.The absence of the law allows rich businessmen to destroy this river along with all the flora and fauna in it. All river flow will be directions into pipes and river will disappeared from the map. Bosnia and Herzegovina’s stunning river Neretva is 230 kms long stretches from the high mountain Zelengora and down to the Adriatic Sea in Croatia. Despite its middle stretch being impacted by four large dams built in the second half of the 20th Century, the lowest part of the river, its tributaries and its upper sections are still extremely rich habitats, with no fewer than 17 species of fish that are either listed by the IUCN in a threatened category, or protected under the Bern Convention or European Habitats Directive.  The Neretva basin is also home to the endangered white-clawed crayfish as well as numerous other species, including otters, bears and wolves, and the upper Neretva is a candidate Emerald Site under the Bern Convention – a potential future Natura 2000 area. Despite this, dozens more hydropower plants are planned in the Neretva basin. Among the more immediate plans are: • Seven plants planned by Marvel d.o.o. on the upper Neretva in Republika Srpska • The Ulog plant planned by EFT and built by China’s Sinohydro just downstream from these, • Delaso d.o.o’s Hotovlje plant currently under construction on the Vrhovinska river, a tributary of the Neretva in Republika Srpska. Their capacity may be small, their impact will not. One of the upper Neretva dams, Uloški Buk, is expected to be more than 40 m tall, and the cascades of dams will turn tens of kilometres of rivers into successions of dams and pipelines. Legal corners have also been cut in Republika Srpska, where the relevant Ministry decided,  in March and April respectively, to exempt Marvel d.o.o and Delaso d.o.o. from needing to carry out environmental impact assessments for some of the upper Neretva plants and the Hotovlje plant, despite the fragility of the upper Neretva’s ecosystems and the undoubted cumulative impact of the planned plants. The Centre for Environment has submitted court cases against both of these decisions not to require EIAs.The hydropower companies continue to build, the nature defenders continue to resist. But if the Neretva basin’s stunning diversity and beauty is to be saved, the Ministries responsible for the environment in Bosnia and Herzegovina are going to have to do their part too. #Neretva# Nature# Bosnia# Whitewaters# clean river# Water# Save Rivers#
