With extensive and in-depth research, Professor Hazir Çadraku has published the book “Blinajë River Basin”, a monograph that contains detailed research and marks a significant achievement in the field of water engineering and hydrographic studies. This book aims to advance knowledge about one of the most important elements of the region’s natural resources, offering detailed information and analysis of the Blinajë River basin.

The monograph addresses numerous important aspects of the Blinajë River basin, including its geographical position, climatic conditions, geological structure, hydrogeological characteristics, and the quality of surface and groundwater. It also describes the hydrochemical types of groundwater and other elements of water resources, which are vital for the residents living within this basin.

One of the main goals of this book is to fill the gaps in data and information for this basin, providing a valuable resource for all those seeking knowledge about the water resources of this region. According to the author, these resources are the sole wealth for the residents of this area, and their proper management is vital for the sustainable development of this space.

Through this study, the author has used over ten years of research work to collect, process, analyze, and systematize the data and information presented in this book. The results are based on authentic research and represent an in-depth scientific effort to better understand the water resources of the Blinajë River basin.

Within the framework of water resource management, this book aligns with the integrated water resource management concept described in the European Council’s Water Framework Directive, which emphasizes the importance of water management within a river basin. This is an important step in the further development of scientific research in this field, and the book aims to present all research in an organized and complete form, to enable all those interested in this topic to have a reliable and comprehensive resource.

This is the first book that addresses the Blinajë River basin in this manner and format, and its authors are open to additions, comments, and suggestions to make it more useful and accurate for readers and researchers in this field. With the publication of this book, it is clear that research and studies on this basin will continue to develop and provide important information for future water resource management.
