Site Description
Velika Morava is 175 km long river originating from Western and Southern Morava Rivers. The whole catchment area (including Western and Southern Morava) is about 38.000 km², while the basin area of Velika Morava is 6.760 km². The mean annual flow is 245 m³ s-1 (gauge station Ljubicevo, near to the mouth of the Danube - Annual Water Quality Reports 1999-2008). Based on the size of catchments area and its flow, Velika Morava is one of the major tributaries of the Danube. Over 95% of the basin is located at the territory of the Republic Serbia. The water regime is unimodal, characterized by the prominent seasonal fluctuations. In the spring the river can be almost torrential (the mean flow near to the mouth 560 m³/s), while in the ...

Hydrology
The Velika Morava River, 175 km long. It is one of the major tributaries of the Danube in Serbia. Over 95% of the basin is located on the territory of the Republic Serbia, which is about 40% of state territory. The River arises from the Zapadna and the Ju?na Morava Rivers near the settlement of Stala? and reaches its confluence with Dunav near the city of Smederevo. The mean annual flow near to the mouth of the Danube is 245 m³/s (gauge station Ljubi?evo. The water regime is unimodal, characterized by the prominent seasonal fluctuations. In the spring the river can be almost torrential (the mean flow near to the mouth 560 m³/s), while in the rest of the year there is a "low water" period, particularly in the autumn , when mean flow does not exceed 100 m³/s.
