Serbian term or phrase: kaskade
Регулисати основно корито ријеке Требишњице од xx до zz у дужини од 2,3 km, ради повећања пропусне моћи основног корита на 600 m3/s (рјешавање каскада на начин да у љетном периоду буду у функцији, а у зимском да се уклањају (мобилне каскаде) изградња парапетних зидова, насипа и регулација минор корита)

Kako su mi objasnili, ovo su kaskade koje postoje u ljetnjem periodu, kada su protoci mali, kojima se povećava nivo vode u koritu. U zimskom period se te kaskade uklanjaju, kako bi se povećao proticajni kapacitet korita, zbog mnogo većih proticaja koji se javljaju u tom periodu.
