Abstract

Buna is one of the biggest and most important rivers of the Mediterranean basin. Outflowing from Scutary Lake this river joins Drini River so forming a complicated and particular hydrographical system. In these conditions it is impossible to calculate Buna River discharge when it flows out of Scutary Lake by the dependence Q2 = ƒ(H2) because Buna discharge – Q2, in its outflowing from the lake depends not only on the water levels – H2, but also on the water levels – H2 and Drini discharge – Q4. Many particular hydrometeorological studies are made of Scutary hydrographical complex (Pano N., Saraçi R.1963; PanoN., Abdyli B,1984, 2002). A particular way to calculate Buna discharge in its outflowing from Scutary Lake is presented in this paper. This particular way considers specific hydraulic conditions of this river. Multi-annual cycle discharge is calculated by this way.
