Drinjača
river in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Drinjača (Serbian Cyrillic: Дрињача) is a left tributary of the Drina in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina. It rises on the mountain of Konjuh (1,326 m) 15 km northwest of Kladanj at an elevation of about 1,000 m and ends after 87.5 km in the Drina, south of Zvornik. The catchment area covers 1,091 km².
The river Drinjača offers terrains for recreational fishing on salmonids and numerous other fish species, but is primarily an important spawning ground for huchen and nase, both of which enter the river from the Drina river.
The public source identifies “Drinjača” as river in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Drinjača, river and Bosnia.
Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Drinjača”, the useful work is to connect “river in Bosnia and Herzegovina” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q431087. Authority coordinates are 44.286, 19.158. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
