AB  - The study evaluated nine empirical methods for estimating reference evapotranspiration (ETo) in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) across different climatic zones. The methods compared were the Hargreaves–Samani method (HS), the modified Hargreaves–Samani method (HM), the calibrated Hargreaves–Samani method (HC), the Priestley–Taylor method (PT), the Copais method (COP), the Makkink method (MAK), the Penman–Monteith method based on air temperature and overall average windspeed (PMT2), the Penman–Monteith method based on air temperature and regional average windspeed (PMT1.3), and the Penman–Monteith method based on air temperature and site-specific windspeed (PMTlok). These methods were tested against the “Food Agricultural Organization-Penman Monteith approach” (FAO-PM). The evaluation was performed using data from 20 meteorological stations in BiH, considering a common irrigation season (April–October) for two periods (2000–2005 and 2018–2022). The stations represented three climatic zones: semi-arid (SA), dry sub-humid (DSH), and moist sub-humid (MSH). The performance and ranking of the ETo methods were analyzed using the TOPSIS method. The trend of ETo during the common irrigation season for the period from 2018 to 2022 was determined using the Mann–Kendall test. The results of the study indicated that the HC method showed the best performance across all three climatic zones. The average root mean square error (RMSE) was 0.67 mm day−1, 0.49 mm day−1, and 0.50 mm day−1 for the SA, DSH, and MSH zones, respectively. As an alternative to the HC method, the PT method is recommended for its favorable results in both periods and in all zones. On the other hand, the HS method exhibited the highest average overestimation, particularly in the MSH zone, where ETo values were 18% higher compared with those of the FAO-PM method. The COP method also showed high overestimation and was not recommended for use. Regarding the MAK method, it resulted in underestimation during the period from 2000 to 2005, ranging from 17% in the DSH zone to 11% in the MSH zone. However, its performance improved during the period from 2018 to 2022, for which it ranked second place in the MSH zone. Among the PMT methods, the PMTlok, which utilized local average windspeed, yielded the best results. Despite performing well in the neighboring country of Serbia, the HM method showed poor overall performance in BiH. The findings of this study can serve as a foundation for further research in BiH to enhance irrigation practices in response to climate changes.

AB  - Throughout history, floods have played one of the most important roles in soil formation,
maintenance and modification of soil fertility. Flooding of rivers left mud full of organic
matter in the fields, salts were washed out of the soil, and a large amount of water was
retained in the soil profile. Urbanization on the banks of rivers, regulation of water flow,
and construction of dams for flood control narrowed river beds and increased hydraulic
flow, resulting in greater concentration of flood waves during floods and shortened flood
control times. Since the beginning of the 21st century, numerous large floods have
occurred across Europe. Various climate models suggest an increase in the frequency and
intensity of future flood events. Dams were built to accommodate flood waves with a
return period of 50 years on smaller watercourses and 100 years on large rivers. Floods
with higher return periods may or may not occur at all. In this respect, dams are no
guarantee that towns and agricultural land can be successfully protected from flooding, so
their enhancement is questionable. In recent decades, there has been extensive debate about
the use of agricultural land for flood protection of cities and industrial areas, about the cost
of land and agriculture. Since private property is involved in both cases, a compromise
solution should be found that satisfies all parties. The main theme of the COST project
LAND4FLOOD is to consider all aspects of flood risk management and land management,
such as.: geographical, hydrological and hydraulic, ecological (soil pollution, compaction,
water retention, ecological services, habitat restoration), agricultural (agricultural
development in the area reserved for temporary water retention), economic (how to
compensate damages or provide incentives for flood retention, public subsidies), public
participation (how to ensure the participation of landowners), property rights issues (how
to allow temporary flood retention and what does it mean for agricultural use) and
sociological. The aim of this paper is to present some reflections on flood risk management
and its implications for land and agricultural development in the EU, as well as some
considerations on the implementation of the NBS in Serbia from the perspective of flood
protection, land protection and agricultural development.
