Water sources in IstriaWater sources in Istria________________________________________________________________________________ Drinking water sources are
spread all over the peninsula. There are springs in use and
springs reserved for future use. Surface and underground
waters on karsts are in permanent contact, that is why the whole area is treated as unique water carrying system.
The rest is gravitating to the coastal see, so the water protection is the ultimate task.

Organization, construction and maintenance of the system of public sewerage and waste water treatment for small settlements in water protection areas of the Region of Istria
With the aim of protecting waters, the target is to catch all the used water into the system of public sewerage, to treat it and to reuse it or to discharge it, without causing any harmful consequences
The Istria underground due to the dominant karsts area should be treated as unique water carrying area that covers all the sources of potable water
