Since Kosovo is more limited in hydro-energy resources than the neighboring countries, it is essential to study them and put to use more efficiently. Subject of this study is Istog spring as it is the most important spring of Mokra Gora together with Vrella and White Drino. The spring is analyzed as a complex resource on water economy providing： fish （trout）, potable water, water for irrigation and hydro-energy （currently not in function）. The focus of the study remains the hydro-energetic component, not just a revitalization process but as an upgrade of the existing facility to increase the capacity by 2-3 times. This study is based on information selection and processing regarding detailed technical and economic analysis providing a method for other springs that will be studied in the future. Two technical solutions to the problem are provided as the best economical and technical solution. Solution I has one level and a calculated flow of 7.5 m^3/s and consists generally of renovation works on existing facilities; Solution 2 plans the construction of another level 3 m lower than the existing one, increasing so both the hydro-power capacity and implementation cost for the project Both solutions provide little to no impact on the spring main attributes. The valley ecology will not be influenced because the water after HPP （Hydro Power Plant） will be flowing in its own bed. After this study, Istog spring will be more attractive to donors and will contribute in improvement of energetic structure in Kosovo that for the time being is poor in hydro component.展开更多
The catchment in Republic of Kosova can be divided in basins of the rivers as： basin of White Drino in village Radavc, Peja municipality; basin of river Iber, Mitrovica municipality; basin of river Morava of Binca, G...The catchment in Republic of Kosova can be divided in basins of the rivers as： basin of White Drino in village Radavc, Peja municipality; basin of river Iber, Mitrovica municipality; basin of river Morava of Binca, Gjilani municipality and basin of river Lepenci in Kacanik municipality. The watershed subject to this paper belongs to the basin of White Drino which belongs to the Adriatic sea catchment. This river occupies nearly 6.13% of the catchment of ＂White Drino＂ and has several positive features which make it more interesting for the study such as a considerable amount of annual rainfall and a distinct topography providing strong currents. The study comprises of a detailed analysis of the quantity of water which can be accumulated and used for water supply, irrigation for agricultural, production of electric hydropower and recreation.展开更多
