Sažetak
Due to extensive industrialization and increase in population numbers the last fifty years, Kaštela Bay has become one of the most polluted areas in the Mediterranean. Six years ago, the Croatian Government, in collaboration with the World Bank and European Bank, decided to invest approximately 150 milion Euros in water supply and sewage systems that would address the sea quality issues in the whole Bay, such being the largest undertaking in the Adriatic, and among the largest ones in the Mediterranean. The separate describes the initial stages of the project nemad EKO-Kaštela bay, its structure, technical approach in addressing various issues, in particular those related to designing and environmental monitoring, as well as major implementation milestones with completion schedules. Resistance of locals concerning certain undertakings, such as submarine outfalls, which reguired special approach in engagement of professionals and a broader governmental management matrix, is also viewed in retrospect. Finally, the project financial flow is presented, as well as problems in balancing the funding sources in view of surplus loan proceedings during certain implementation periods. In conclusion, it is quite possible to protect the sea and improve its quality by implementation of grand-scale infrastructure project in a country as developed as Croatia, but there exists a number of problems, from planning to funding arrangements and technical implementation in conjuction with the position of the population, who need to see for themselves the common welfare through such projects with concrete arguments of in situ measurements and by means of adequate modeling for demanding processes.
