Groundwater Resources in Croatia
The quantity and distribution of groundwater resources in Croatia are determined primarily by hydrogeology and climate. The most important aquifers in inland Pannonia region are formed as alluvial deposits of intergranular porosity and of high hydraulic conductivity in the Sava and Drava river valleys. In Croatian karst region, the main groundwater reserves are tied to prevailing highly permeable carbonate rocks. Renewable groundwater reserves in Croatia are estimated to be 22, 430 milions m³/year, most of it (85.5% of groundwater on round 48% of the territory) in Dinaric karstic part. This points out to the importance of karstic area when considering groundwater resources in Croatia. The total water withdrawal in Croatia amounts to about 1 billion m³ of water annually, some 40% of it being groundwater withdrawal, mostly for the public water supply. The groundwater reserves are in general not overused. However, most important aquifers are vulnerable, and locally under environmental pressure. Nevertheless, groundwater reserves are still mostly in good condition regarding their quantity and quality.
