Sažetak
Integrated water resources management is based on the perception of water as an integral part of the ecosystem, a natural resource and a social and economic good whose quantity and quality determine the nature of its utilisation. The sustainability of urgan growth is threatened by curtailent of the copious supplies of cheap water, as a result of the depletion and degradation caused by past profligacy. The system of coastal waters besides freshwater sources, also includes coastal salty and brackish waters which all deserve an integrated approach due to direct and indirect contacts and impacts on freshwater balance and exploitability of fresh, brackish and salty water. The implementation of appropriate pricing structures and levels for water services is an important element of the search for sustainable development. Application of the "polluter pays" principle and realistic water pricing will encourage conservation and reuse.
