Description
Staring across what was once one of Bosnia's largest expanses of water, all that Saliha Kuljanin can see is boats left high and dry after months of drought emptied Lake Jablanicko. "It's scary," says the 68-year-old, adding, "The climate has certainly changed." For years, the village of Ostrozac, where Kuljanin lives, had profited from the tourists attracted by Jablanicko's emerald waters. But the rain has dried up this year, and its water levels have plummeted. The lack of water has also complicated operations for a nearby power plant that relies on the lake's dam for energy.
