The OECD and the Directorate-General for Environment, the European Commission department responsible for EU policy on the environment, joined forces to examine current and future water-related ...financing challenges faced by EU member states. These include investments needed to comply with EU regulation for water supply, wastewater collection and treatment, and flood protection. As part of the research, new data was produced on current levels of expenditure for water supply, sanitation and flood protection, as well as on projected needs. It supported a comparison across member states and substantiated tailored policy discussions in selected countries and at European level. This report captures the rationale for the research, the main quantitative outcomes and the policy issues and recommendations that derived from this two-year co-operation. Lessons from Europe outlined in this report can inspire similar research and policy discussions in other parts of the world.
The book is the result of joint work and many years of mutual cooperation between researchers from Slovenia and Croatia. It was made as part of the transboundary project ŽIVO! Življenje – voda! (Life ...– Water!) (IPA CBC SI-HR 2007-2013), which involved the participation of authors from project partner institutions as well as invited authors who are familiar with the characteristics of the karst area of Northern Istria and the conditions there relating to drinking water supply. The monograph presents the natural features of Northern Istria, the karst and karst phenomena, karst hydrogeology, ecology and microbiology, and highlights in particular the vulnerability of the karst to various human activities. The main focus of attention is on karst water sources. In assessing their characteristics we used available knowledge of karst water on both sides of the border and supplemented it with new research on the transboundary area in question, which was based on field measurements and sampling, and chemical, microbiological and biological analysis of water. The collected findings form the basis for planning more effective monitoring of the quality of karst water sources, their protection and consequently the improvement of their quality.
Ljubljansko polje is a juncture of numerous human activities. The source of drinking water for about 300,000 residents, it holds one of the most important bodies of groundwater in the country. ...Unfortunately, the influences of urbanization, agriculture and industry that threaten and burden it are reflected in the quality and quantity of the groundwater.

Onesnaženje pitne vode s pesticidi. Popoldne je republiški sanitarni inšpektor izdal odločbo o prepovedi ...uporabe vode iz črpališča Skorba blizu Ptuja. V vodi je namreč do desetkrat več pesticidov, kot je dopustno. V teh izrednih razmerah jim zdaj primanjkuje še cistern, s katerimi bi razvažali pitno vodo.
The clip is showing another in a series of ecological disasters - the contamination of drinking water with pesticides. In the afternoon of the 21st of July 1989, the republican sanitary inspector issued a prohibition on the use of water from reservoirs in Skorba near Ptuj. In fact, the water contains ten times more pesticides than permissible. In those exceptional circumstances the authorities were facing a huge problem regarding a lack of tanks in order to distribute drinking water.- Information:- Ecological disaster in 1989, which affected the people of Ptuj and its environs. Fire-fighters distributed water supplies in water tanks and plastic reservoirs filled with water.- Original language summary:
