The Ugar (to 1878: Brzica[1]) is a river of Bosnia, a tributary of the Vrbas river. It appears at the slopes of Vlašić, upstream of Sažići and Melina villages (at around of 1550 meters above sea level). It shares a waterhed with Ugar, Ilomska and Bila rivers.

The Ugar's length is around 45.5 kilometres, and its confluence is around 328 km2. Its biggest right tributaries are: Pljačkovac, Ilomska, Kobilja, Zirin potok, Kusin potok (Ziro's and Kuso's creeks) and left: the creeks of Lužnica, Dedića, Andrijevića potok, Bunar, Oraški, and Kukavički potok.[2][3][4]

After short, but deep canyon (below the Babanovac plateau) it enters into Pougarje, under the Ranča Mountain. By this, Ugar flows into a deep and long canyon under Skender Vakuf, around 20 kilometres downstream of Jajce. Notch of the Canyon is a very arduous and its maximal depth is (approximately) 500 m. The area in the valley along the Ugar, from Vitovlje to its Canyon is marked as Pougarje[5]
