Water consumption in the area of Slovenian Istria has reached record levels due to high temperatures, but water supply remains stable thanks to purchases from neighboring water utilities. The Rizana spring has dried up, covering only 45% of needs through local sources, while the remaining 55% comes from purchases from three neighboring water suppliers. Authorities urge residents to conserve water for essential uses, avoiding activities like car washing, boat cleaning, lawn watering, and showering after swimming. In contrast, some areas of Croatian Istria face more severe challenges, with warnings of potential water restrictions if consumption does not decrease.
