Sažetak

The paper provides a detailed overview of the newly developed hydrological model for the purposes of the reconstruction of the formation, propagation and transformation of the catastrophic flood which occurred in mid-May 2014 in the Kolubara river basin in Serbia. This flood caused a significant destruction of the existing flood protection system, uncontrolled breaches of the existing embankments and flooding of the open mining pits, agricultural surfaces, towns and settlements, resulting in the loss of human life and huge material damage. In addition, the flood caused a significant damage to some hydrological stations of the Republic Hydrometeorological Service of Serbia, sinking and toppling limnigraphs, and in the areas of some hydrological stations completely changing the flow pattern due to floodwater pouring out into the hinterland. The authors of the paper undertook the obligation to develop a new hydrological model for the purposes of the reconstruction of this catastrophic flood, with the aim to determine the actual state of flood propagation along the Kolubara and to investigate the actual scope of flooding in May 2014, i.e. to evaluate its statistical significance. The paper is illustrated by relevant numerical and graphical indicators of the May 2014 flood hydrograph on the hydrological stations’ key profiles for the actual state and hypothetical state for successful flood protection.
