Abstract

Pitka voda je strateški resurs u suvremenom svijetu. Potrebe za vodom rastu s porastom broja
stanovništva i potrebama vezanim uz gospodarski razvoj, dok s druge strane razni oblici
onečišćenja ugrožavaju taj resurs. Ocjena stanja gospodarenja vodama jasno prikazuje da
gospodarenje vodama u Republici Hrvatskoj treba unaprijediti. To je moguće ostvariti
poboljšavanjem planiranja, odnosno sustavnim pristupom planiranju koji polaže puno pažnje
na kvalitetu i kontrolu planiranja. Brojne promjene u potrošnji, kao što su povećana
konzumacija mesa, izgradnja velikih kuća i zgrada, sve veće korištenje malih i velikih uređaja
koji koriste energiju, obično uključuju povećanu potrošnju vode kako za proizvodnju energije
tako i za ostalu uporabu. Brojna su sušna područja u svijetu gdje je i danas stanovništvo
svakodnevno u potrazi za pitkom vodom. Hrvatska pak pripada skupini zemalja svijeta koje
imaju iznad prosječne zalihe pitke vode, te problemi s vodom nisu ograničavajući faktor
razvitka. Naravno, to ne znači da ne moramo brinuti za budućnost i mudro postupiti u
upravljanju resursima pitke vode. Gospodarenje vodama može se prikazati kao ciklički proces
koji započinje planiranjem gospodarenja vodama, unutra čega je ekonomski aspekt izrazito
važan. Na gospodarenje vodama utječu i mnogi čimbenici pa se s tim u vezi poduzimanju
različite aktivnosti i mjere kako bi se osiguralo održivo iskorištavanje vode.

Abstract (english)

Drinking water is a strategic resource in the modern world. The demand for water is increasing
with population growth and the needs of economic development, while on the other hand
various forms of pollution threaten this resource. The assessment of the state of water
management clearly shows that water management in Croatia needs to be improved.
Improvement can be achieved through i.e. systematic planning aimed at incrasing quality and
management. Numerous changes in consumption, such as increased meat consumption,
construction of large houses and buildings, increasing use of small and large appliances, are
usually accompanied by increased water consumption for both production and use. There are
many arid areas in the world where the population is still searching for drinking water on a
daily basis. Croatia, on the other hand, belongs to the group of countries in the world that have
an above-average supply of drinking water, and where water problems are not a limiting factor
for development. However, this doesn’t mean that we don’t have to worry about the future and
act wisely in the management of drinking water resources. Water management can be presented
as a cyclical process that begins with water management planning, within which the economic
aspect is extremely important. Water management itself is also influenced by many factors
and various activities and measures are taken in this regard to ensure sustainable water use.
