Watermaster Used in €3M Project to Restore Bosut River in Croatia 🇭🇷
A Watermaster Classic V eco-dredger is at work removing 270,000 m³ of silt from a 5 km stretch of the Bosut River in Vinkovci, Croatia, where deposits have built up in layers up to 2 meters thick.
The work improves flow, reduces flood risk, supports irrigation, and helps create better conditions for nature, tourism, and recreation.
The €3 million project is led by Hrvatske vode (Croatian Waters) and the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Green Transition. It’s part of a broader €250 million investment in water infrastructure, including 220 km of sewage collectors and a system to bring fresh water from the Sava River into the Bosut.
Watermaster is ideal for this type of work – it can operate in shallow, narrow rivers, remove sediment efficiently, and restore natural river conditions.
