Abstract
Most islands on the Adriatic sea are covered by karst, which
means they have very scare surface or underground water. Consequently the water
supply presents a serious problem, particularly with the current trend of
developing tourism. The small islands have solved this problem by using a
traditional method of water supply, i.e. by harvesting the rain water quite
abundant during the wet periods. However, the increasing demands for water,
resulting from the higher standard of living, call for an application of better
systems.
The paper deals with a solution of water supply for the
island Silba. It presents the methodology used for the selection of solutions,
the procedure of dimensioning, the water quality and other essential features
of the proposed solution.
