Abstract
The Nature Park Kopački Rit is one of the largest fluvial wetlands areas in Europe. Due to the evident trend of a decrease in wetlands and water surfaces, i.e. sediment retention in the Kopački Rit area, a network of monitoring stations for recent sediment deposition was conceived and established, consisting of 50 monitoring stations in canals, side channels, ponds and swamps, in order to quantify these processes. The monitoring results of the recent sediment deposition and erosion indicate increased sediment deposition in most parts of the Nature Park, with a maximum of 16.5 cm in Kopačko Lake in the period of only nine months. This alarming situation requires intensified monitoring of the recent sediment deposition with a purpose of defining the spatial and temporal distribution of sediment deposition and erosion in the Nature Park Kopački Rit. Detailed monitoring, analyses of all available data and modern analytical methods are needed for future forecasts and establishment of a scientific basis for sustainable management of Nature Park Kopački Tit.
