Sažetak
The hydrological monitoring of water occurrences in a regional area is rarely implemented uniquely. More often the state hydrological monitoring grid mostly includes key hydrological profiles on more important rivers, lakes or particularly water balance important sources. The monitoring of springs which are included in the water supply system is conducted mostly by the users themselves, the water supply companies. Such heterogenous approach generates different hydrological substratum levels, often accompanied by monitoring interruptions and different data accessibility levels. However, there are sometimes contrary experiences, the example of which is the area of Istrian Peninsula, that is, its largest part under administration of County of Istria. The unique hydrological monitoring which has been conducted in the area from the 1990s provides hydrological information also related to water resources which are, conditionally speaking, of state importance as well as to resources which are exploited for water supply regardless of the water supply company managing the intake structure. This way enables regional analyses to be conducted and creates foundations for planning regional water resource management. Based on gathered data, and using the unique data base HIS 2000 of Croatian Meteorological and Hydrological Service, this paper deals with the correlation of surface water occurrences and water supply sources as well as with the regional functioning of water supply sources in Istria. Despite large differences in yields of particular sources and other hydrological characteristics, it has been established that the whole analysed area of Istria has very similar reactions to high water or drought period occurrence, which differ only in intensity. These very differences in reaction intensity to hydrological occurrences make a good foundation for regional optimalisation regarding the usage of ground water reserve for water supply purposes.
