Within the study of the River Jadar management, the biological and hydro-engineering characteristics of the watercourse and the riparian land were comparatively researched. The floristic diversity of the Jadar riparian area was studied and the existing plant species and communities, life forms and floral elements were identified. On the other hand, the study of the morphological and hydraulic characteristics of the water course included the basic factors of river channel and banks regulation - the variation of morphometric parameters, hydraulic resistance and the stability of the river banks. Based on the study results, the guidelines of river management were defined from the aspect of biodiversity conservation and ecosystem enhancement of the Jadar valley.
