Everything about Tara River Montenegro totally explained
The
Tara River (
Montenegrin: Ријека Тара / Rijeka Tara;
Tr. Riyeka Tara) emerges from the confluence of the Opasnica and Veruša Rivers in the
Dinaric Alps of
Montenegro, flows 144 kilometers northward and converges with the
Piva River near the
Bosnian border to form the
Drina River. The Tara River is the largest European supply of drinking water
The Tara River cuts the
Tara River Gorge, the deepest
canyon in Montenegro and
Europe, at 78 kilometers in length and 1,300 meters at its deepest. The canyon is protected as a
UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is a part of
Durmitor national park.
The Bosnian and the Montenegrin government had plans to flood the Tara Gorge, with the construction of a hydroelectric dam in the Drina River. However, it abandoned this plan in April, 2005 after several successful protests of advocates for the preservation of the canyon. But, in September 2006, a protocol for cooperation between Slovenian company "
Petrol" and Montenegrin company "Montenegro-bonus" was signed, and the building of an electric plant with initial power of 40 or 60 megawatts is planned, despite all efforts to protect the gorge.
Tara River isn't to be confused with
Tara Mountain and
Tara National Park, which are situated in southern
Serbia.
