Drinking water under enhanced protection

A new regulation has been introduced to protect drinking water sources in the municipalities of Bled, Gorje, parts of Radovljica, and Žirovnica. The regulation defines different zones around water sources, each with specific protective measures based on their proximity to the water supply. These include restrictions on construction, prohibitions on certain activities that could threaten groundwater quality, and stricter rules regarding the use of fertilizers and pesticides on agricultural land. The regulation also establishes legal grounds for monitoring and taking action in case of threats to water sources, providing clarity for authorities and users of the area. Local officials emphasize the importance of this measure for preserving one of nature’s most valuable resources and highlight the need for proactive protection at the source.
