Water Quality. The priority task of CZ is to reach a good condition of surface and groundwater in accordance with the Directive of the European Parliament and Commission 2000/60/EC, determining the activities of the Community for water policy (hereinafter the Water Directive). A major risk for the quality of surface and groundwater is, in addition to the discharge of pollution from individual sources, also the pollution from area sources (diffusion) and old environmental burdens (old waste landfills, contaminated areas). Most agglomerations are already connected to a sewerage system ending in a water treatment plant in order to meet the requirements of the relevant European legislation. The connection of smaller settlements is still critical, and Prague has still a persistent problem. There are still problems in the extensive pollution of waterways and reservoirs from agricultural activities, sedimentation in water reservoirs by washed topsoil and burdening of groundwater by nitrates, ammonium ions, and pesticides. There are many unused research boreholes in the Czech Republic that are not secured against foreign substances penetrating the groundwater. Therefore, it is very desirable to professionally close off (liquidate) the boreholes in order to decrease the potential risk of polluting groundwater. The number of people who have access to good quality drinking water is slowly growing in the Czech Republic, which is a positive trend in terms of health. Nowadays, 93% of the population is supplied with safe drinking water107. Water consumption for agricultural use, mostly for irrigation, has been gradually growing in the Czech Republic. Mostly surface water is used for these purposes, as well as groundwater (to a lesser extent). Comparisons of 2013 and 2007 show that the surface water consumption increased by 61%, while groundwater consumption by ca 23%108. 105 Source: ČHMÚ: xxxx://xxxxxx.xxxx.xx/files/portal/docs/uoco/isko/grafroc/groc/gr12cz/tab/t24x31.html 106 Source: ČHMÚ: xxxx://xxxxxx.xxxx.xx/files/portal/docs/uoco/indikatory/indikatory.html 107 Czech Statistical Office, 2012. Development needs: Improving the quality and availability of drinking water. Reducing the water consumption by limiting the leaks of water from the water supply network. Reducing waterways pollution: decreasing the burden on water caused by nutrients, pesticides and soil washed out from the fields by using suitable agro technical procedures reducing the impact of farming on the quality of water. Streamlining wastewater treatment.
