  1. Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning, Slovenia KAMNIŠKA BISTRICA river basin management plan Lille, March 2002

  2. KAMNIŠKA BISTRICA River • springs out at the foothills of Kamniške Alps • catchment area covers about 550 km2 • high waters, floods, erosion procesess frequent and intensive • length: 33 km

  3. KAMNIŠKA RIVER BASIN • 9 municipalities, 298 settlements, 77.668 inhabitants • industry: chemical, metal, food production, textile, leather

  4. WATER QUALITY ASSESMENT • surface water quality: class 1 for the spring and class 3-4 at the outflow to the Sava River • no data on impact of two major cities on water quality • ground water quality monitored on 7 observation stations

  5. WATER QUALITY MONITORING • ground water quality monitored on 7 observation stations • ground water level monitored at 5 stations, onls to at the same point • drinking water quality monitored regullary (not best quality)

  6. WATER SUPPLY • 9 sources of water from groundwater, no treatment of drinking water • 2 water supply systems (operated by 2 public service companies); 17.000 connections • length of public networks: 420 km • 98 % inhabitants served with drinking water • no data on water use by agriculture

  7. SEWAGE NETWORK • length of sewage systems: 220 km • in 4 municipalities 85% population connected, in others very poor infrastructure, • obsolete network

  8. WATER TREATMENT • in 4 municipalities 85% wastewater treated (highest rate in Slovenia) • in others no treatment • dispersed pollution very high; pig farm discarges directly to the river

  9. WATER USE • not all uses of water identified; only households and industry • households use 40% of water amounts, industry 60 % • industry use in decline, threat of illegal abstraction directly from ground water • agriculture use substantial (irrigation, 12 fish farms, 10 fish ponds), no paymentfor water use

  10. FLOODS • frequent flood accurance = high costs of damages • due to unproper spatial planning (responsibility of municipalities) • policy to involve assurance companies in damage covering not developed yet

  11. LESSONS LEARNED • poor and obsolite infrastructure network, high investmet needs • assets depreciated; no room for capital costs incl. in price • high requirements following the implementation of EU legislation - to cover the gap in a limited time frame

  12. LESSONS LEARNED • not all water uses identified • no tradition in proper pricing (only operating costs of water services included) • due to social reasons prices for water services were kept low for too long • absence of common appoach in solving problems related to river basin, municipality by municipality approach
