Drava is the longest European river. It enters Croatia at Ormoz, and flows into the Danube near Aljmas. The entire length of the flow is 720 km. Annual average flow rate of Drava is 1- 1.5 m/s, which indicates a relatively fast flow and high mechanical strength, which erodes the coast. For the Drava river is characteristic glacial water regime which means maximum water draft from May to July, lowest draft of water from December to February.
Drava is of great importance for two very distant cities - Varazdin and Belisce. This distance attracted us to do joint project. Drava dictates development, location and climate of the cities, which is why we were very interested in research.
