| Abstract | East Herzegovina is characterized by substantial water resources and abundant precipitation from October to May each year. As a result, the karst poljes of east Herzegovina are experiencing major, long-lasting floods during the rainy period and, conversely, insufficient recharge to the aquifer systems and rivers in the summer, often causing streams to completely dry out. Consequently, the karst poljes, which are the largest arable lands in the area, are rendered virtually useless during most of the year. To address this issue, the idea was born to build multi-purpose systems—the Trebišnjica Hydropower Scheme—in the so-called Lower Horizons and Upper Horizons, the primary and ultimate goal being the management of water resources in the area. The Lower Horizons scheme, which encompasses hydraulic structures, surface reservoirs, hydroelectric power plants, irrigation systems and drinking water supply facilities, was largely completed in the 1970s. The outstanding Upper Horizons project calls for comprehensive development of the water regime, including water resources management, social, environmental and energy components, as well as the transfer of water from the Neretva River Basin to the Trebišnjica River Basin (still under evaluation). Namely, interbasin transfer would reduce the discharges of the Neretva’s left tributaries: the Buna, the Bunica and the Bregava, but must not threaten minimal natural flows. The hydraulic model and preliminary environmental impact assessment indicate that there will be no significant adverse impacts; however, continuous monitoring of the effects during both construction and operation is mandatory. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
