FATNIČKO
POLJE - ФАТНИЧКО ПОЉЕ
The "Obod" River. |
There
are several very small permanent surface streamlets fed by the numerous
permanent A-Type (Authigenic) local karst springs on the north side of
the polje. During the height of the summer months, these streamlets are
reduced to appearing as "damp areas" on the polje floor.
However, the intermittent, full-sized river derived from the output of the three main estavelles in the Upper Polje, is of an impressive size and has a major annual impact on the polje, not least of which is renewing the natural nutrients in the soils of the polje-floor. 4.1.

(above-left).
The
flow of the natural watercourse can also be added to by the input of water
coming out of the artificial tunnel of the HET Co's HPP Fatnica
installation in the west of the Polje. Effectively, this tunnel is draining
the flood waters of the adjacent Dabarsko Polje into Fatničko Polje.

The "Baba jama" and "Pribabići" Streams |
4.2.
THE "BABA JAMA" STREAM - POTOK "BABA JAMA" - ПОТОК
"БАБА ЈАМА" :
This only appears as a complete river when the "Baba Jama" Estavelle is functioning as an overflowing spring. Its flow is also contributed to by the output of the "Pribabići" Estavelle.
FP4.2.1.
(above-left).
The
length of this comparatively short streambed from its source in the Upper
Polje to its confluence with the "Obod" Streambed is caa 900 metres.
This distance excludes the input from the ephemeral "Pribabići"
Estavelle.

Potok za Izvor "Veliki Jastrebinjak" . |
4.3.
MINOR STREAMS.:
A typical example of a small permanent stream created by one of the A-Type (Authigenic) local karst springs rising at the base of the northern edge of the polje is that created by Izvor "Veliki Jastrebinjak". This shallow, narrow and very meandering stream-bed is carved into the Eocene Flysh deposits forming the Upper Polje floor.

FATNIČKO POLJE - ФАТНИЧКО ПОЉЕ | We hope to capture images of the major streamways when they are hydrologically active in the future. The practical problem in doing so relates only to "opportunity"! |
