Irrigation - wish or necessity

Until 2003 there were 9 275 ha under irrigation, which represents 0.86% of arable lands in Croatia. Irrigation systems were unorganized and conducted without plans with undefined rights and obligations of the participants. Surfaces under irrigation were small and the consequences of drought were measured in millions. Croatian government in 2005 has accepted the National Project of Irrigation and Land and Water Management in the Republic of Croatia. Main goal of the project is to increase surfaces under irrigation to 65 000 ha until 2020, which represents 6% of arable lands in Croatia. It would take planed approach to achieve this plan, and is possible thru building of infrastructure and with enlargement of production surfaces of the farmers. Until 2012 irrigated surfaces were increased up to 12 000 which is less then planed.
