The kettles are about half to one meter deep and 0,30 to 0,70 cm wide in radius, and they are frequent in the riverbed. The Željeznica river is one of the chief geographic features of the western Sarajevo field (Sarajevo polje).

Small Hydroelectricity
Small hydro is the generation of hydroelectric power on a smaller scale as compared to traditional large-scale hydro. Exact definitions vary by country, but small hydro power (SHP) projects are typically less than 50 megawatts (MW) and can be further subdivided by scale into "mini" (<500kW), "" (<100 kW), and "" (<10 kW). Maximum power generation capacity is the primary factor of SHP classification. Factors like dam height, height, reservoir area, outlet structures and operating procedures are not standardized under this metric. SHP projects have grown rapidly in the past two decades.
