Sažetak
Source Protection Region (SPR) represents source water (including water from lakes, rivers and underground aquifers) protection from overuse and contamination. In majority of European countries SPR consists of four vulnerable areas; wellhead protection area (WHPA), intake protection zone (IPZ), significant gro- undwater recharge area (SGRA) and highly vulnerable area (HVA). Since SPR is usually the part of agricultural landscape the water quality might be affected by the agricultural practices, thus the Water Act usually regulate/limit the way of conventional farming, especially soil tillage, fertilization and pesticide application. For this reason, in many IPZ and SGRA zones the conservation tillage (CT) represents the only way of preparing the soil for sowing. CT systems, comprising no or minimum mechanical soil disturbance, organic mulch soil cover, and crop species diversification is presented in this paper. CT is globally adopted practice corresponding to about 11% of field cropland in all continents.
