Abstract
The Istria County is facing limitations in its natural water resources, resulting in increased pressure on water usage, particularly during the summer months when demand rises due to agriculture and tourism. To address this issue, the potential application of treated wastewater in agriculture to conserve limited water resources was investigated. The objective of this master's thesis was to conduct research on wastewater management and explore its sustainable utilization in Istria County's agriculture. A survey was conducted among various stakeholders, including farmers, academic staff, the tourism sector, and the public sector, the survey was sent on 120 personal emails yielding 36 valid responses. The research results indicate a high level of education and the presence of individual agricultural holdings among the majority of respondents. Although they are aware of water scarcity issues during the summer and have a basic understanding of the concept of reusing treated wastewater, most respondents lack sufficient information regarding the quality and possibilities of using such water for irrigation in agriculture. The conclusion underscores the need to educate stakeholders to support the sustainable application of treated wastewater in Istria County's agriculture.
Abstract (croatian)
Istarska županija suočava se s ograničenim prirodnim vodenim resursima, što izaziva pritisak na korištenje vode, osobito tijekom ljetnih mjeseci kada potražnja raste zbog poljoprivrede i turizma. Kako bi se riješio ovaj problem, istražena je moguća primjena tretiranih otpadnih voda u poljoprivredi radi očuvanja ograničenih vodenih resursa. Cilj ovog diplomskog rada bio je provesti istraživanje gospodarenja otpadnim vodama i razmotriti njihovu održivu primjenu u poljoprivredi Istarske županije. Provedena anketa među različitim dionicima, uključujući poljoprivrednike, znanstveno-nastavno osoblje, turistički sektor i javni sektor, poslano je 120 individualnih email adresa te prikupila je 36 valjanih odgovora. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na visoku stručnu spremu i prisutnost vlastitih poljoprivrednih gospodarstava među većinom ispitanika. Iako su svjesni problema s nedostatkom vode tijekom ljeta i razumiju osnovni koncept ponovne uporabe otpadnih voda, većina ispitanika nema dovoljno informacija o kvaliteti i mogućnostima korištenja tih voda za navodnjavanje u poljoprivredi. Zaključak naglašava potrebu za edukacijom dionika kako bi se podržala održiva primjena tretiranih otpadnih voda u poljoprivredi Istarske županije.
