THE IDEA

The initial initiatives for the construction of the regional Hydro system ,,Zletovica,, appeared in the second half of the fifty years of the twentieth century, but the concrete activities for the realization of the idea were made during the year of 1982.

 

PURPOSE

The hydro system ,,Zletovica,, is located in the north-east part of the Republic of Macedonia. The hydro system is multipurpose and can meet the following basic needs:

        - water supply for the inhabitants and water for the industry in the

           Municipalities of Kratovo, Probistip, Stip, Karbinci, Sveti Nikole and 

           Lozovo;

     - irrigation of 3 100 ha of agricultural area;

pro         - production of the electrical energy;

mai         - maintaining the biological minimum of the Zletovica river;

 de         - decreasing the possibility of floods and   

         - keeping the outflow in the acumulation space.

THE FUNCTUALITY OF THE PROJECT

 
Location of Zletovska River, where the dam "Knezevo" is going to be build as a part of hydro-system "Zletovica"
 
 

Massive investigation was performed and it has clarified that the annual potential of Zletovska river is 69 mil.m3.The dam "Knezevo" and the other smaller systems are going to use approximately 50mil.m3 water from the annual flow, and the rest 19mil.m3water from the annual flow remains to support the biological minimum of Zletovska river, further in her flow, until it flows into the river Bregalnica.
