This project is focused on water treatment in places
where there isn’t an adequate or available public
water supply. Around 20 % of Slovenes are not
connected to the public supply, and even those
who are often prefer to use water which they collect
from other, natural, sources.
There is a common belief that spring water in
Slovenia is clean, but since a large part of Slovenia
lies on karst grounds, it is difficult to predict the flow
of groundwater and the accompanying pollution.
Cities have their own filter system, which very remote villages
do not have. What kind of water do people drink in such
villages?
The location chosen as a pilot area for the project
lies in the Triglav National Park, where, contrary to
public belief, spring waters are quite contaminated.
