TheLugomir(SerbianCyrillic:Лугомир) is a river in centralSerbia,a 57 km-long right tributary to theVelika Moravariver. It flows through many villages includingMajur.
Origin
[edit]The Lugomir originates from two headstreams, the Dulenska reka and the Županjevačka reka.
The shorter headstream of Županjevačka reka (Cyrillic:Жупањевачка река) originates from the mountain ofGledićke planinein southernŠumadijaregion of central Serbia. Its spring is just some 500 m away from the source of Lugomir's another headstream, the Dulenska reka. The river first flows to the east, next to the villages of Nadrlje, Županjevac, Dragovo and Belušić. At this point, the Županjevačka reka reaches theJuhormountain, turns north along the Juhor's western slopes, and after the village of Beočić meets the Dulenska reka.
The longer headstream of Dulenska reka (37,5 km; Cyrillic:Дуленска река) also originates from the mountain ofGledićke planineat an altitude of 793 m (Gomilapeak), but flows northward. At the village of Dulene the river isdammedby the temporary (but still functioning) 7-meter high filled dam in 1964. The artificial lake Dulene (Dulensko jezero; Cyrillic:Дуленско језеро) is created, with an altitude of 435 m, a tunnel was dug through the Gledićke planine and pipeline with pumps set to take water out into another artificial lake ofGrošnicawhich is used for the supplying of the city ofKragujevacwith water.
The river turns east, receives the Pčelička reka from the left at the village of Velike Pčelice and flows through the small town and municipal seat ofRekovacwhere it turns south. At the villages of Tečić, Vukmanovac and Loćika, the Dulenska reka forms a small arc and turns northward in the narrow valley on the western slopes of the Juhor mountain, where it meets the Županjevačka reka at the village of Dragoševac.
Length and Location
[edit]The Lugomir proper is 19,5 km long. The river continues in the northeast direction of the Dulenska reka, along the western side of the Juhor, and enters the region of VelikoPomoravlje.It flows through the villages of Kolare, Bresje and Majur and the southern outskirts of the town ofJagodina.After it is crossed by theBelgrade-Nišhighway,the Lugomir empties into theVelika Moravanear the village ofRibari.
The Lugomir drains an area of 446 km2,[1]belongs to theBlack Seadrainage basinand is not navigable.
