Rural Waterworks - Legal and Technical Aspects

In the times of former Yugoslavia, as well as in the new Republic of Croatia, a large number of so-called rural waterworks were built. From the legal point of view, such waterworks are illegal, technically they do not meet the standards, and often even the water quality does not meet the prescribed standards either. For the recent 15 years the Republic of Croatia has invested considerable funds in water supply in small communities, including the locations where rural waterworks exist. The paper analyzes the legal, social-psychological and technical aspects regarding the present situation, and the solutions that might be applied to preserve some of the rural waterworks which could, with essential reconstruction, meet the required conditions.
