Geographically and historically area has distinct features, while the Neretva is divided into three common hydrological sections: upper, middle and lower.^[1]

The Neretva has been harnessed and controlled to a large extent by four HE power-plants with large dams (as higher than 15 meters)^[2] and their storage lakes, but it still recognized for its natural beauty,^[3] diversity of its landscape and visual attractiveness.^[3]^[4]
