The level of several lakes in Kosovo evidently declines: Will we have trouble drinking water?

Public data shows that about 85 percent of Kosovo's population is supplied with drinking water through public systems managed by Regional Enterprises. In contrast, 15 percent of the population has had no access to public water supply services, but wells and resources are available.

Some of the regional companies are in a state of readiness to raise the alarm if there is no rainfall these days.

Even Gjilan in the coming days, you've been waiting for an emergency situation.

Pristina region lakes on high decline

Regional water supply company “Pristina” is the largest water supply company in the Republic of Kosovo.

The company has organised delivery of drinking water services and sewage-loggering in municipalities; Pristina, Fushe Kosovo, Obilic, Shtime, Lipjan, Podujevo, Glogovac and Gracanica (partly the municipality of Vushtrria).

With Batislava Lake and Badovci's running since “Prishtina”. Both of these lakes that depend on the cloud are in the minus quota of overcoming.

The company's spokeswoman, Arjeta Doctor - Minister, told Periscope that the water level at Batala Lake is 6 feet [1.89 m] below the maximum level of the swallow until the worst position is the Lake of Badoci, 8,500 feet [8.25 m] below the maximum level of the swallow.

Subtitles are the key risk factor in drinking water supply. If water is misused at this period of high temperatures, then surely water shortages will feel the high supply points.

There are several high points in the capital, part of Matt and a portion of the Sun's Coast, especially water - supplied areas of the Badoci system and dependent on reservoirs, due to the fall of the water level at Badoc Lake and the enzyme growth of water demand, but we are obliged at night to accumulate tanks so that during the day they can have regular water supply. Right now, we're working with maximum capacity on these water treatment plants, Albanic, Shqabaj and Badoc. Currently, we don't have planned water supply reductions, but if this drought continues and there are abuses, so that we can make equal distribution of water we can come into situations that we don't even rule out planned supply reductions”, says the doctor-Aziz.

Gjilan expects to declare emergency

Regional Water Company “Hydromoreva”, U.S.A. headquarters in Gjilan, as the authority responsible for providing water services in the Gjilan region, has the worst jobs and happens in an almost alarming area.

The “referenced to the current state of water resources in Gjilan, especially at the main source in the Perlepnica settings, which on the 1907.2022, is at 2085m or 9.3m in the maximum quota of water capacity. The recent rainfalls that have dropped in our region have slightly reduced the flow of water levels into acumultation but have no apparent impact on the improvement of the situation in this source and supplies over 65% of Gjilan's drinking town”, says Periscope Mum Morina, from the CR Technical Department “Hidromorova <3> U.S. Gnjilan.

In addition to this source, Perlepnices, Gjilan is supplied by three other sources, Hodge Stone, the Baja Source and FPU in Veles.

Morina says that even these resources are affected by the drought situation and that we may in the future have reduced water capacity in these resources as well.

And we think that this situation can best be managed by co-ordinating activities with the municipality of Gjilan, and it is expected that in the next few days the emergency state of water for Gjilan, which would limit the use of drinking water as well as the stops and the eventual punishments for drinking water abusers. After announcing that the Emergency Situations from the municipality and the Hidromoreva company based on the drought management plan will be forced to reduce the amount of water produced especially in the Penda-Acumation point in Perlepnice because only at this point can accumulated water until other points where the resources are not able to accumulate will be worked with maximum production capacity”, Morina said.

According to him, it will be quite difficult to deal with this situation especially when water capacity is expected and at the same time increased because of the arrival of exiles, but also because of rising temperatures.

And we're based on the fact that we're actually at a water level every day on the scale of Perlepnicia, and with an adverse forecast of this drop in levels in the absence of rainfall can grow to 15cm a day, then by the beginning of October of this year we can be in quota of 8.5, which is the minimum quota that should most likely cut water from the Perlepice adulation because technically it is impossible to get water at this level. It should be known that in such cases when we face extreme droughts and other resources to be influenced and manage such a situation can be unpredictable”, Morina says further.

Sustainable Waterman, but Saving Appeal

Regional Water Company “Mitrovica” U.S. It is responsible for water supply for the entire Mitrovica Regiment (Mitrovice, Vushtrri and Skenderaj)

This company has told the periscope that untreated water is purchased by the company “Iber Lepenci”, which manages with the Weiman Lake (Gazivodes), whose reserves are approximately 400 million m3.

So in this direction we can say that we're good enough and we have to dominate the long dryer so that we can have a water problem without treatment. So, the rate rate is conveyed by Iber Lepenci but I believe it presents no problem. The design capacity of the two drinking water treatment plants; one of Shipol's (Mitrovice) and one in Balinc (Vustri) are totaling 1,000 l/sec (700 + 300). As for your information on these days when there is consumption and abuse of drinking water we have produced up to 1,167 l/s. So we've also exceeded the design limit”, they said of Periscope Bureau for Information KRU “Mitrovica”.

This institution also revealed that they have already issued a call to the water pipeline and the Mitrovica, Vushtrri and Svilewright regarding the saving and rational use of drinking water so that this time the heat is exceeded by having each of the drinks water.

Not all pipelines are transparent.

There are also several other companies in Kosovo that make water supply, but the same have shown non-transparent in providing Periscope data related to water supply.

Regional water source “The US, its services are offered in the southern part of Kosovo, including these municipalities: Prizren City and 31 Villages; The municipality of Suhareka ? Suhareka City and 22 Villages; The municipality of Dragash ʹthe City of Dragash and 3 Village of Malisheva City and 19 Villages; The Moussah municipality. Water supply is made from personal resources. Production capacity involved through wells, which is alternative as well as resources that are not currently fully exploited. Supply becomes 45% pumps, 55% gravity.

This pipeline almost every summer applies water reductions, and in recent days it has appealed for savings.

CRU “Gjakova” The US manages Radonici Lake.

The HS service zone “Randoniqi” is about 220 km2. The area includes two towns (Gjakova and Rahovecin), as well as 72 rural villages of Gjakova, Rahovec and Prizren, with a total of about 230,000 inhabitants. Lake “Randoniqi” is located at a surface space of 580 ha, at a height of 400-456.4m and takes second place in Kosovo on the surface. His name was taken from the village who was flooded for his creation. The lake's main supplier is the Decan River and the River River of Ratish.

During yesterday, the company has issued an appeal for no misuse of water.

While, CRU “Radoniqi-Dukagini” The US headquartered in Gjakova is a public enterprise that supplies water to the agriculture sector.
