GRAVEL MINING AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ALONG THE LOWER COURSE OF THE DRINA RIVER 2017 http://ezaposleni.singidunum.ac.rs/rest/sciNaucniRezultati/oai/record/2/6973 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KGhltv-QeTqsWmY7i-Ydm1Wvg00KxmUy/view M. Mandić J. Aleksić B. Vakanjac V. Ristić Vakanjac In Serbia, gravel mining is associated with the lower courses of large rivers, such as the Drina, the Sava, the Južna Morava, the Zapadna Morava and the Velika Morava, as well as their major tributaries. This activity is having a considerable environmental impact, threatening the biocenosis and affecting public water supply in agglomerations near rivers or water supply sources in their alluviums. The Drina River is special in this regard, because it defines a part of the state border with Bosnia and Herzegovina and because illegal and uncontrolled gravel mining has resulted in frequent re-alignment of the river channel. Given the extreme importance of gravel for the construction industry, mining cannot be prevented but must be controlled. The paper describes specific problems caused by gravel mining along the Drina and proposes appropriate solutions. article 59 68 0372-9966 Zapisnici srpskog geološkog društva za 2017 godinu
