The aim of this paper is to present the state of the channel network in Southeast Srem (Serbia), as well as the measures of drainage system maintenance. Inadequate maintenance resulted in the decrease in the drainage system functionality. The density of the channel network (30-40 m/square km) shows that the greater part of the region is traversed by a dense network of channels capable of taking in all the designed surplus water. Despite the great density of the channel network in the region, there are occassional processes of overlogging. The channel network was not adequately maintained during many years. From 2004, the scope of works on network maintenance has been significantly increased, but the consequences of multiannual period of insufficient maintenance have not yet been reclaimed. Considering the significance of drainage in Southeast Srem, it is necessary to evaluate the state of the channels and the reasons of their lower capability, as well as to determine the need of reconstruction and rehabilitation of the existing drainage channels and the support facilities.
