Water Management as an Issue in the Territorial Integration of Local Units

Sažetak
Since the beginning of the 21st century, changes in the availability of water resources and protection requirements have brought about changes in the sphere of water services management. Once a traditionally local responsibility, it has moved beyond being merely a communal service. Changes in water services management are reflected in the integration of supplying drinking water and disposing
of wastewater into a single service. This is based on the principle of managing the water supply from the source to the user, and from the user up to the point of discharge into the environment in an area which is found to be most functional, and is formed on the basis of the hydrogeological territory of sub-drainage basins, which follow the natural boundaries of drainage divides – these are called service
areas. Such service areas generally comprise a large number of local units, which is why demands for efficient water services management will have an impact on the territorial integration of local units in individual service areas.
