Sažetak
The situation in economic development, especially in tourism and agriculture, as well as demographic changes in the Zadar region are closely connected to infrastructure development, particularly with water-supply. The intention of this article is to warn about the unsustainable condition in water supply of the insular area. Applying the statistical data, analyzing the existing condition and using the method of comparison, very contradictory condition in economizing the drinking water in coastal and insular part of the regiona has been established. The coastal part has been connected to the water-supply system of the Zrmanja drainingbasin i.e. to the regional water-supply system of the Northern Dalmatia, and uses local springs, which enables economic and demographic development of the coastal settlements. On the other hand, the islands of the Zadar archipelago belong to the group of the least developed and socially most neglected parts of the country. The quality water supply is a very important precondition for the revival of the insular area. Because of this reasons, the authors think that the quality and constant supply of the islandsis the basis forthe development of tourism and other economic activities, particularly agriculture.
