Sažetak
According to forecasts of various international organizations, it is estimated that by 2040 the Earth will be left with no sufficient quantities of drinking water. Water used for supplying drinking water to the population and industry is obtained from natural resources (i.e., the environment) and is distributed through the water supply system to the consumer. The used, polluted water is returned to the environment through the sewerage system with prior water treatment. During the distribution of drinking water through the water supply system, water losses occur. Such lost water does not reach the end consumers and is not even charged by the water supply company. These interconnected processes of obtaining water used for water supply and of returning polluted water to water resources, directly affect the changes in the quantity or quality of water, as well as the local environment and the local population, and, of course, the Earth in general. This paper will analyze statistical data on water supply (the total amount of water intake, distributed water, water losses, length of the water supply network, the number of water supply connections) and sewerage (total amount of wastewaters, length of sewerage network, number of sewerage connections) in the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Slovenia. The interdependence of these elements will be presented through correlation coefficients.
