Sažetak
About 90% of water supply in Croatia is based on groundwater reserves so great attention must be given to its protection. Multiparametric methods for vulnerability, hazard and risk assessment can be used for this purpose. These methods are well known in the world. Some of them have already entered the groundwater protection legislation of increasing number of states and in Croatia are used as an additional tool for determining the sanitary protection zones of drinking water sources. This paper presents the procedure of vulnerability, hazard and risk assessment in three stages, as proposed in the guidelines of the project COST 620, as well as some proposals how to adapt the application on the study area. Besides being proved very useful in the aspect of groundwater protection, presented methodology can also be used as a background for land-use planning. It identifies parts of the catchment that are, due to its natural features, more vulnerable to human impact and as such require caution, but also the less vulnerable parts suitable for further development of the region without compromising the groundwater quality. Presented methodology can also indicate the critical points in catchment area that should be included in the priority remedial actions to reduce the possibility of deterioration in the quality of groundwater.
