Popis: Providing sufficient amount of quality water for the population is a primary goal of each community. Both lack and irrational management of such an important resource influenced actualization of this problem in Serbia, as well as the need to intensify the activities on preserving water resources through implementation of Directive on waters, brought by European Union, based on integral management of water resources. This work analyzes available water resources on the territory of the town of Kruševac from the aspect of integral water management, which implies consideration of the problem of optimal usage of water resources for the need of different users, as well as protection of water resources from pollution. Organized water supplying of the population of Kruševac with quality water, as the most important activity in water management, is partly realized by building by building reservoir 'Ćelije', while ground waters are still used for supplying industrial plants. Besides providing sufficient amounts of water, adequate purification and waste water drainage from the settlements and industrial plants represent a big problem. This problem could be solved by increasing the number of households connected to sewage network and the amount of communal and industrial waste waters which are purified adequately, by constructing new and reconstructing the existing plants. Regular and adequate water supply of population and industry is an important matter, but it is equally important to preserve the rivers and underground springs from unpurified, used water loaded with harmful substances which can lead to disturbance of river eco-systems. The aim of this work is to point out the possibilities of more rational usage and more quality protection of water resources on the territory of Kruševac, which would more adequately coordinate economic and social development and principles of sustainable water management.
