Sustainable Development of Wastewater Treatment & Disposal Systems in the Eastern Adriatic

Sustainability of wastewater collection, treatment and disposal options in the coastal region of the Republic of Croatia are discussed in the context of recent large-scale infrastructure investments. Past experiences are used for evaluation of development plans from a sustainability standpoint, bringing into focus the question of selecting the right strategy that would fulfill both population and environmental needs. The DPSIR approach (drivers-pressures-state-impacts-responses) is discussed in the context of the inherent complexity of the wastewater management sector and legislative ambiguities which create the opportunity for different development scenarios in partially sewered small and medium-size coastal municipalities.
