Abstract
In this paper the main objective was to analyse water distribution market on Adriatic islands, mainly those without any water piping infrastructure. Those islands are mostly supplied by water carrying ships. The used methodology consisted of analysing, in last four years, the number of water deliveries and amount of precipitation in the research area. The analysis showed that the most critical situation occurs from June to September, when the number of residents grows and the amount of precipitation lowers. In order to avoid critical situations, like water reductions and draughts, important factors are pointed out which could lead to such situations and with proper precautions action can be avoided.
