Abstract

The time distribution of high waters and high sea tides in Slovena was different in 2006 from the normal distribution. Rivers in eastern, central and south-eastern Slovenia flooded in the spring, and the River Krka exceeded the maximum discharge of a 2-year return period. No high waters were recorded in the autumn. The time distribution and non-typical character of high waters in 2006, as well as the different run-off regime of Slovenian rivers was similar as the stated determination of the possible effects of climate change on the water cycle in the area of central and south-eastern Europe. High waters and floods in 2006 show possible scenarios of non-typical high water events in the future.
