1.1.1.WATER RESOURCES A significant part of Slovakia’s surface water flows in from the neighbouring states, though the usability of this fund is limited. It has a long-term average annual precipitation of 824mm/yr. The long-term average of annual renewable water resources is stated in 50,100 million m3/yr of which 25 per cent of them are considered as internal water resources (12,600 million m3) and 75 per cent are considered as external water resources (37,500 million m3). By the year 2009 the total dam (reservoir) capacity is stated as 1,760 million m3. Slovakia has two river basin districts (RBDs), out of which both are international sharing watersheds, with Austria to the west, Poland and Czech Republic to the north and Hungary to the south. The two basins are the Danube RBD and the Vistula RBD. The consultation on the draft river basin management plans took place between 23 January 2009 and 22 July 2009. The final implementation of those river basin management plans is still pending.
1.1.2.WATER USE Water withdrawal in the country by the year 2007 was estimated at 688 million m3. Around 48 per cent of the total resources abstracted come from surface water bodies, and around 52 per cent come from groundwater bodies. This water abstraction can be itemised by user sector. By the year 2007, it was estimated that the water dedicated to agriculture reached 22 million m3. These resources were used in 390,900m3 of the total area equipped for irrigation of 1,720,000m3 in the whole country (2007), which represents a significant percentage of the area dedicated to cultivation (12.3 per cent) For urban purposes the water abstraction was stated as 320 million m3 and for industrial uses the value was stated as 346 million m3.
