Eastern Herzegovina is highly karstified area, with porosity of karstified rock mass between 0.8 and 2%. It is an area with high precipitation (average annual values in wet year are around 2450 mm), but its distribution is uneven, with 70% of annual precipitation occurring during the wet season (late fall to early spring). The outflow coefficients are very high, between 0.7 and 0.8. The ratio between flow in the low water period (Q_95%) and in the period of high water flow (Q_1%) is 1:4000(5000). Due to such hydrological conditions, with limited dewatering capacity of karst channels and ponors, floods of karst poljes occur frequently. This article presents, in very general terms, the properties of the natural water regime of the Gatačko Polje, highest polje in Eastern Herzegovina, including some hydrological and hydrogeological specificity. Special attention is referred to floods and possible ways to mitigate such events, as there are coal mine and coal power plant “Gacko” situated in the polje. Several possible measures are presented in the paper, such as passive protection measures, active flood protection by proper reservoirs management, as well as spatial planning measures. Also, the possibility of transferring part of the water from the Gatačko Polje watershed to the multipurpose hydrosystem Trebišnjica for usage in hydropower production, irrigation, water supply and other secondary benefits is considered.

喀斯特poljes的防洪和水资源利用：以东黑塞哥维那GatačkoPolje为例

黑塞哥维那东部是岩溶高度的地区，岩溶岩体的孔隙度在0.8％至2％之间。该地区降水量高（湿年的年均值约为2450毫米），但分布不均，其中70％的年降水量发生在湿季（秋末至初春）。流出系数非常高，介于0.7和0.8之间。水位低时（Q _95％）和水位高时（Q _1％）之间的流量比）是1：4000（5000）。由于这种水文条件，喀斯特河道和桥墩的脱水能力有限，因此经常发生喀斯特波列斯洪水。本文以非常笼统的方式介绍了黑塞哥维那东部最高波尔加特GatačkoPolje天然水域的特征，包括某些水文和水文地质特征。特别要注意的是洪水和减轻此类事件的可能方法，因为波尔杰有煤矿和燃煤发电厂“ Gacko”。本文提出了几种可能的措施，例如被动保护措施，通过适当的水库管理进行主动防洪以及空间规划措施。也，
