(1) Water resources management (WRM) - in ADRIA region water resources are facing different human and natural (incl. climate change) pressures, causing alterations in water quantity and quality. For protection of drinking water resources EU WFD foster establishing of special protection regimes, which are not yet fully implemented in all partner countries.
