Summary: The problem of protection of water resources in the Karst
area of Croatia has been particularly expressed for the last fifteen years.
Specific natural circumstances under which the dynamics of ground water is
formed and developed were the reason of impossibility to make uniform
criteria of protection of these water resources, from the beginning of
working out the Regulations on Ground Water Protection in the Republic of
Croatia. Present experience makes it possible to make a more organized
approach to the problem. This applies, in particular, to the surroundings
of the town of Rijeka, where in the past considerable funds were invested
in research and in new ground water intakes, but also in their protection.
It is necessary to note the new intakes Zvir II and Marganovo (800 l/sec),
reconstruction of the intake Zvir (additional 600 l/sec), and numeorus
activities to update the existing Decree on Water Protection for the
territory of the Rijeka municipality. In the framework of water protection,
categorization of wells was made, depending on their present or future
importance for the water supply of the town, and delineation for water
reservations in the mountainous parts of the catchment areas. The sources
already in use or potential sources for future water supply of the town are
protected, with the four basic degrees of protection.
Keywords: water resources, hydrogeological research, water intakes, water protection in the Karst, sanitary protection zones, water resources development.

Summary: The Lake of Vrana on the Cres island is the largest
waterphenomenon of Adriatic islands. It is located in the central partof
the island and its total area is 5 km2. The maximum depth ofthe lake is 70
m (60 m below sea-level) and it accumulates 220milion m3 of fresh water.
The water level is showing a decreasingtendency during last ten years.
Clarification of the genesis andhydrodynamic model of the lake is of
exceptional importance forrational protection of the lake area and for the
best using oflake water in the water supply of the Cres-Lošinj group
ofislands. There is a dilamma about lake recharge system only fromits local
catchment area, regarding partially known limnologicalcharacteristics of
the lake and huge amount of fresh water whichfills depressions in karst
relief. The concept based onexclusively local catchment area limits the
possibility of usingthat nature resource and by that of economical
development of theislands, which is without enough exact elements dangerous
toelaborate. In sach conditions we set up research project, whichhas been
only partially executed by now, so results presented inthis study have only
character of the first scientificinformation.

Summary: The Kupa River, a tributary of the Sava, rises in the
karsticGorski Kotar region, which is located between the Sava valley andthe
Adriatic sea. The source region of the Kupa river containssignificant
reserves of ground water which are still of highquality, at the levels of
the standards for drinking water ofthat part of Croatia. In dry periods
during summer, water flowsout from the region at a rate of about 9 m3/s,
and in wet periodsup to several hundred m3/s, which also represents a
significantpotential source of energy. The problem is one of preserving
thenatural environment while making optimal use of this waterpotential for
several different purposes. Currently 150 l/s ofwater from the region is
supplied to the local population, butconsidering the uncertain future if
water supplies to Zagreb fromthe Sava alluvium and the Adriatic tourism
zone (Rijeka,Istria),Gorski Kotar ground water reserves have gained
strategicimportance to the water supply of the Western part of Croatia.
The Gorski Kotar region is mainly made up of karstfied carbonaterocks,
which are the main water-bearing rocks of the region. Thepresence of
impermeable clastic rocks directs flows of groundwater towards the largest
springs. However, their mainlyallochthonous structural position in relation
to the porouscarbonate rocks makes the hydrogeologic picture of this
regionvery complex.
In these natural conditions, and in a region of intense urban andtransport
development, preventative protection of the waterresources is an
exceptionally important and complex task. Inrelation to this, the
proclaimed policy of sustainabledevelopment must be taken into account. An
assessment of thepresent situation of this water bearing region and
forecasts offuture events can only be achieved by a good knowledge of
thegeological and structural relations, the tracking of a largenumber of
underground streams and constant monitoring of waterquality at the sources.

Summary: A very labile balance of fresh and salt water in the
littoral region is usually disturbed by excessive withdrawal during the dry
summer periods. These are generally known facts and our experts tried to
cope with the issue mainly by blocking the potential points od sea
intrusion. Several grout curtains were constructed which generally gave
fair or poor results. The practice of other countries in this type of
projects is similar. Stimulated by difficulties in resolving these
problems, and a number of failed projects in the world, IAH organized
numerous SWIM's (Salt Water Intrusion Meetings). The selected papers from
these meeting were published in 1991. The published experience and
additional consultations helped us prepare a program of investigations for
the springs in Bakar bay, Novljanska Žrnovnica and other locations in our
country, where we participated in investigation projects. The results of
long-term observation of saliferation during the dry summer periods enabled
us to identify specific dynamics and relationship between the fresh and sea
water system. These are primarily controls of the deep aquifer sections
where the sea remains even when the water at springs is completely fresh.

Summary: Hydrogeological information system assumes the
development of information system for groundwater to which almost 90% of
Croatian water supply is connected. One of main activities of the
Hydrogeology and Engineering Geology Sector with the Geology Institute is
the project "Basic Hydrogeological Maps" in the scale 1:100000, which
represents fundamental source of data and interpretative values of the
information system. Program support ARC/INFO (ESRI - USA) has good
capacities as regards required graphic presentations as well as the
creation of a very complex database.
Main problem in the formation of the entire system was how to reconcile
the requirements of Basic Hydrogeological Map, as a conventional project
for state territory, and very sophisticated requirements of one basic
information system (GIS) open for additional program modifications. We have
achieved this goal with graphic presentation on the topographic base in the
scale 1:25000 containing all attributes required for the identification of
groundwater movement. The entire system has been developed as a thematic
segment of the future "Environmental Information System of the Republic of
Croatia". Along with the basic program, individual projects are under way
which shall integrate the entire system, such as Hydrogeological Map of the
Adriatic Catchment in the scale 1:500000, within National Report for
Groundwater of Croatian Water Management System, and FIS of Upstream Drava
River for the need of Croatian Water Management System and Croatian Power
Company.

Summary: Vransko Jezero on the island Cres has the surface of
5.3 km2 and is an unique water phenomenon on Adriatic karst islands and in
the entire Mediterranean. Entirely fresh water volume (220 mill. m3)
reaching the depth of 60 m below sea level on the elongated, relatively
narrow island of Cres (about 10 km) has always drawn the attention of
researchers. Two basic concepts on lake recharge have often been at odds -
from local catchment or from regional zone or even zones outside the
island. However, the knowledge on the lake wasn't sufficient to decide in
favor of any of these assumptions. From the very start of exploratory works
we've accepted in principle the second, more courageous concept, not
denying the influence of local catchment. The fundamental task was to
identify actual natural conditions under which this lake evolved and
contemporary water movement in this region. This is the only way in which
dynamic model of the lake could be developed and the only manner of
managing this important water resource.
The results of hydrogeological explorations to date would be presented
in this paper, from the definition of system geometry, hydrochemical
investigations, investigations of natural water isotopes, results obtained
by diving-recordings of the deepest part of the lake, results of analysis
of recent sediment, relation between the lake and groundwater in the
immediate catchment and analysis of lake genesis from Pleistocene up to
present in the scope of development of the entire North-Adriatic region.

Summary: The sources of potable water represent the main
prerequisite for the development of cities, especially in karst regions, so
that the city of Rijeka evolved in the northernmost part of the Kvarner Bay
on the site of huge water quantity discharge. However, the growth of the
city and industry caused only partial exploitation of this water resource,
bringing the city of Rijeka to the boundary conditions of water supply
twenty years ago. The first task of hydrogeologists was to provide for
spring water intake in the background of the spring, since original spring
zones are mostly covered by city facilities and spring water has been lead
into city sewage system. Thus, the abstraction structure Zvir II was
constructed with additional quantity of potable water in the order of 600
l/s. During last ten years, the works have been aimed at the
re-exploitation of the main city spring Zvir by which additional 500 l/s of
potable water shall be provided for city water supply system.
Special attention has been paid to water protection, so that the city
of Rijeka has been the first city in karst region which has reached the
decision on water protection. This hasn't been only a declarative document,
but was the basis for certain remedial works and changes in urban plans.
Today, the city of Rijeka has sufficient quantities of high quality water.
Hydrogeological investigations have been initiated with the aim to provide
for water intake from the underground outside the zones of possible urban
and industrial pollution.

Summary: The COST Action 65 "Hydrogeological Aspects of Groundwater
Protection in Karstic Areas" is a joint scientific research project of 16
European countries in the domain of karst aquifer protection. The actual
interest of European contries is directed to the water supply from karstic,
mainly mountainous areas where the present water quality and natural
conditions guarantee the feasibility to maintain such quality in the future
and to give high-quality water supply to a large portion of the European
population. Being conscious of that fact, the researchers of European
countries, where the karstic aquifers have a large share in total reserves
of potable water, have associated to solve the problem. Within the COST
Action 65 during the last five years, they have tried, through their
individual and joint research work, to evaluate, the present cognitions on
karst aquifers. Thez have tried to improve national and international
approaches and measures to improve the protection of those so precious
resources from the present and future potable water supply. From the very
beginning of this research action, numerous research pilot areas have been
established in all participating countries and they represent various types
of karst aquifers. The joint research work was carried out within four
working groups. The research results are presented in a book divided in
three parts: I Recommendations for karst aqufer protection; II Results of
joint research activity; III National reports of 16 participating
countries. A particular value of this action is that a large number of
European hydrogeologists and related experts are closely associated within
the OCST organization and IAH. They are able to react jointly, if
necessary, to solve problems that may appear in karstic areas as
consequences of the present urban, industrial, traffic, adn agricultural
development.
