7. Water sources in Istria
________________________________________
 Drinking water sources are spread
all over the peninsula.
 There are springs in use and
springs reserved for future use.
 Surface and underground waters
on karsts are in permanent
contact, that is why the whole
area is treated as unique water
carrying system.
 The rest is gravitating to the
coastal see, so the water
protection is the ultimate task.
