To protect the waters of a source for water supply to the population, CEIM, in cooperation with PHI Institute for Public Health, prepares appropriate Reports for determining the boundaries of the protection zones of the sources. The Investors, i.e., the applicants for these Reports, are usually the Municipalities, i.e., the Public Water Supply Enterprises established by the Municipalities.
In the current 2022, there are reports prepared for determining the boundaries of protection zones of water supply sources for several municipalities: Mavrovo and Rostushe, Dojran, Bogdanci, TIDZ Prilep, and the Studenchica source. The most significant is the definition of protection zones of the Studenchica source, from which seven municipalities supply drinking water, and TPP Oslomej, with technological and sanitary water from this source. The need to protect the Studenchica source comes from the possible impact of the wind farm construction on Bistra mountain on the groundwater quality.
