They flow from the surrounding slopes or emerge from karst springs and estavelles around the field, and part of the water comes through the sinking rivers Lištica and Ugrovača.

[citation needed] The waters from the blato and the lake eventually end up in the Neretva, via re-emerging Lištica, in part after leaving the hydrotechnical facilities of the Mostarsko Blato hydroelectric power plant, and in part by re-emerge in huge Bezdan karstic wellspring in Rodoč, gets a new name, the Jasenica.

[2] In order to protect against floods and use water in the production of electricity at the beginning of the 21st century, the Mostarsko Blato hydroelectric power plant was built.

[3] On the edge of the field are the settlements: Čula, Krivodol, Miljkovići, Podgorje, Selište, Polog, Biograci, Jare, Ljuti Dolac, Uzarići, Knešpolje and Dobrić.

The survival of numerous endemic and endangered species in karst fields and in the underground spaces connected to them is significantly threatened by natural (climatic variations or changes), but increasingly also by negative impacts caused by various human activities.

In this sense, the role of engineering and agrotechnical works in reducing the duration of floods in karst fields is completely unexplored, but it is obvious that it can have significant negative consequences.
