DEVASTATION OF RIVERSIDE AREAS BY GRAVEL MINING: CASE STUDY OF THE BOGATIĆ MUNICIPALITY IN SERBIA 2014 http://ezaposleni.singidunum.ac.rs/rest/sciNaucniRezultati/oai/record/1/6953 http://konferencija.futura.edu.rs/doc/ECOIDS%202014%20Proceeding.pdf B. Vakanjac V. Ristić Vakanjac M. Bartula J. Aleksić Collapsed bridges and overpasses, breached flood protection dikes, threatened drinking water sources, and permanent degradation or ruination of river channels, river banks and riparian zones are only some of the consequences of illegal and/or uncoordinated sand and gravel mining along rivers in Serbia. This activity particularly threatens the lower courses of large rivers, such as the Drina, the Sava, the Zapadna Morava and the Velika Morava. The impacts of haphazard in-channel or nearchannel extraction of large amounts of gravel and sand are presented in the paper, along with a specific example of devastation of the Drina River in a part of its course that defines the border between two municipalities and two countries: Bogatić in Serbia and Bijeljina in Bosnia and Herzegovina. conferenceObject 29 36 Ecological improvement of devastated locations for sustainable development
