Abstract: Construction of artificial reservoirs in the canyons and ravines lead to the complete destruction of populations of species and ecosystems in the flooding zones. A special loss of biodiversity caused by immersion is the disappearance or extreme fragmentation of relict ecosystems. Pollution and the depletion of ground water, is a problem of specific type, which is growing in our country. In the waters in karst that directly leads to the disappearance of endemic underground fauna. In general, taking on water sources, and the upper reaches of rivers, especially in mountainous areas, affect the water regime of entire region and takes a drastic lowering of biodiversity. The deep limestone canyons and gorges, besides the already submerged (Piva, Zeta), such as eg. Moraca, Lijeva Rijeka, Tara, etc. are extraordinarily rich refugia of relict and endemic flora and fauna, but, at the same time the focus of interest for the construction of hydropower facilities in the new (spatial) plans. Slowing water and shallowing due to backflow allows increased warming and the loss of dissolved oxygen, which occasionally leads to the murder of local aquatic animals.
