Jasenica is a sinking river in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It begins as the Ugrovača river, runs through canyon where it gets new name, the Brina, and flows into the town of Široki Brijeg. Here it connects with the Borak wellspring that rises at the base of the mountainside near Široki Brijeg, thus creating the Lištica river.[1]

Sinking river

The Lištica sinks in the area of Mostarsko Blato seasonal lake and appears as the Jasenica, in eponymous village Jasenica in Rodoč suburb of Mostar. After short course it empties into the Neretva near Ortiješ, south of Mostar.

Water utilization

Power station on the Lištica river/Jasenica is located in Jasenica village, Rodoč. Installed capacity of this plant is 60 MW.[3]
