Introduction

This catalogue provides information and illustrations of Balkan rivers of very high conservation value by country and highlights the “jewels” among them. The applied methodology and the analytical maps can be find in the related report “Balkan Rivers - The Blue Heart of Europe – Hydromorphological Status and Dam Projects” 2012. Information about planned hydropower dams affecting those rivers of high nature value can be found at the end of this Catalogue.
