Bokanjačko blato, Protected wetland in Zadar County, Croatia
The karst field of Bokanjačko blato spans 440 hectares at 20 meters above sea level, featuring diverse ecosystems and wetland habitats.
In 1902, engineers constructed a water supply system from Bokanjačko blato to Zadar, marking the first regional water infrastructure development.
The wetland area maintains a strong connection to local fishing traditions, particularly for eel catching before the implementation of drainage systems.
A two-kilometer tunnel system manages water flow from the wetland, with a capacity to evacuate 12 cubic meters of water per second.
The drainage modifications of Bokanjačko blato in the 1960s transformed the natural lake ecosystem into agricultural land for the Agricultural Combine Zadar.
