Frequently asked questions
- Which gauges does the Great Morava have in the platform?
- Four, all in Serbia: Varvarin (km 177.22), Ćuprija (145.41), Bagrdan (118.57) and Ljubičevski Most (21.75). The longest series is at Bagrdan, from 2004, and 2026 holds only 16 station-days on the river.
- What does the Great Morava level read at the four gauges?
- On 26 October 2026 all four stood below zero: −211 cm at Varvarin, −114 at Ćuprija, −30 at Bagrdan and −386 at Ljubičevski Most. A negative figure does not mean a dry river, but water below the gauge zero.
- What flood-defence marks does the Great Morava have?
- Four sets, different from gauge to gauge: 400 and 500 cm at Varvarin, 400 and 470 at Ćuprija, 500 and 600 at Bagrdan, 450 and 600 at Ljubičevski Most. The platform shows no LDC or HDC for them, and today's readings stand hundreds of centimetres below the first step.
- How big were the 2006 and 2014 floods on the Great Morava?
- In March 2006 Bagrdan crossed the emergency mark and reached 607 cm on 26 March, while Ćuprija reached 477. In May 2014 Ćuprija climbed to 619 cm on 18 May, and Bagrdan then reached the highest value of its series, which starts in 2004.
- What are the absolute highs and lows on the Great Morava?
- The Ćuprija gauge peaked at 700 cm on 21 February 1963, Ljubičevski Most at 706 cm on 4 May 1958 and Varvarin at 560 cm on 14 May 1965. The absolute low is −391 cm at Ljubičevski Most, on 20 November 2018.
- Can you navigate the Great Morava?
- Only for 3 km from its mouth, though boats once reached Ćuprija and the 1966 plan promised to reopen the river to Stalać. The Danube–Morava–Vardar–Aegean canal, proposed in 1904, was judged feasible in 2013 at some 12 billion euros.
- How do you read the model forecast for the Great Morava?
- All four gauges carry a model forecast 48–72 hours ahead; on 26 October 2026 the model gave −31 cm at Bagrdan for +24 h and −32 cm for +48 h. The forecast is a calculation from rainfall and catchment data, not a gauge reading.
