CASE STUDIES Rapid Deployment of Hydrological Monitoring Station - Case study
Following a 3.2 magnitude earthquake on September 7th, the water level of the karst river Vrljika started dropping very quickly. This rare phenomenon has last occurred in 2004, and, before that, in 1942. Low water levels of Vrljika can be dangerous for several endemic fish species; and the whole Imotski region gets its water supply from Vrljika. Less than 24 hours after the event, Geolux ...
