Zato so se za pripravo metodološkega pristopa, ki bi omogočil izdelavo kakovostnih strokovnih podlag za potrebe prostorskega načrtovanja in trajnostnega upravljanja z vodnimi viri, v okviru projekta Po kreativni poti do znanja Stanje in potenciali rabe vodnih virov na območju občine Vitanje s poudarkom na pitni vodi (H2O_Vitanje) povezali gospodarska družba Atelje Piano (Atelje krajinske arhitekture, Saša Piano s.p.), Občina Vitanje ter študenti in njihovi mentorji s treh fakultet: študenti geografije z Oddelka za geografijo Filozofske fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani, krajinske arhitekture Oddelka za krajinsko arhitekturo Biotehniške fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani ter Visoke šole za varstvo okolja iz Velenja. Projektno skupino je vodil Oddelek za geografijo Filozofske fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani.
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.

Safeguarding Drinking WaterLjubljana's water resources lie in the immediate vicinity of built-up urban areas or even below them. For decades, they have been safeguarded as water-protection areas, ...which are specified by implementing regulations. However, formal protection through regulations is insufficient if the goal is to manage these sources in a sustainable manner. One of the most important goals of sustainable management is maintaining suitable provision of fresh drinking water without using any technological procedures to
An investigation of a waterborne outbreak caused by microbiological contamination of the drinking water supply system Background: An outbreak of acute gastroenteritis occurred in March and April 2010 ...in the town of Menges where drinking tap water was contaminated, affecting an area with 3000 residents. The aim was to assess the extent of the outbreak, identify the etiological agents and test the hypothesis that drinking unboiled water from the distribution system was the vehicle for the outbreak, and if necessary to initiate appropriate control measures. Methods: A retrospective cohort study including 160 randomly selected households (20% of the affected residents) was conducted. A case was a resident of Menges developing either diarrhoea, vomiting or abdominal pain. Results: The overall attack rate was 31.3%. The epidemic curve showed a clear peak in the number of cases suggesting a common point source exposure. Residents who consumed unboiled tap water were 4.8 times (95% CI 0.7-32.7) more likely to become ill than the non-exposed. Drinking unboiled water, brushing teeth and eating raw fruit and vegetables washed with unboiled tap water was associated with gastroenteritis (RR 3.1 (CI 95% 1.5-6.5), 3.1 (CI 95% 1.2-8.1) and 2.3 (CI 95% 1.2-4.3)). There was a dose-response relationship between the volume of unboiled tap water drunk and the attack rate among the residents. Norovirus and Rotavirus were detected in the water samples, as well as in stool samples from the cases. Conclusion: The results suggest that the vehicle of transmission was contaminated drinking water. Residents of affected area were advised to temporarily boil tap water. Because of continuous problems with water from the distribution system, building a new one from other water sources was considered. PUBLICATION ABSTRACT
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.
The modern way of life requires the exploitation of natural resources, which leads to a significant deterioration of the environment and can even endanger human health.The basic hypothesis is that ...the population of Slovenia in general is still too inadequately informed and insufficiently environmentally educated and aware about water as a natural resource to have the motivation and capability to actively participate in the protection of water as a natural resource.Most people support environmental protection in principle, especially declaratively, since this is a socially approved action. However, when faced with restrictions that would interfere with their way of life by limiting their activities or increasing their expenses, their enthusiasm decreases rapidly. And the closer we get to actions we could define as “environmentally active,” the fewer people are actually prepared to protect the environment. Possibly a fifth of the population can be defined as people who favour environmental protection and consider it a value for which they themselves are willing to do something.The survey showed that level of education is very significant relative to people’s response to environmental problems and that the more educated are more environmentally friendly.
Na fotografiji je star rezervoar, ki so ga v Črnomlju zgradili za potrebe vodovoda leta 1940. Vodo so s pomočjo črpalke, v lasti železnic, črpali iz reke Dobličice. In sicer za potrebe vodovoda kot ...tudi za potrebe oskrbe parnih lokomotiv z vodo. Železnica je imela svoj rezervoar, ki je bil zgrajen leta 1912.
