1.1.2.WATER USE The anticipated climate change is expected to contribute to the reduced availability of water due, to increased use in agriculture and the energy sector. Data on water abstraction in Slovenia has been reliable since 2002, when the Waters Act laid down the acquisition of water rights for any special use of water. In 2008 around 40,400 legal entities and individuals had acquired rights for special use of water. The main water consumer is hydroelectric power generation, followed by one of the nonhydroelectric power generation sectors (electricity generation in thermal power stations). Other uses – irrigation, snowmaking, beverage production, etc. – represent a small proportion of consumption, but they are growing. Statistics on the quantity of water pumped into the mains water system for use in households and manufacturing indicate a reduction in the last decade, primarily due to more efficient use of water in industry – thanks to the impact of taxes payable for burdening water – and farming. Household consumption of water has not changed significantly. Water withdrawal in the country in 2009 was estimated in a total of 942 million m3. Around 80 per cent of the total resources abstracted come from surface water bodies, and around 20 per cent come from groundwater bodies. This water abstraction can be itemized by user sector. In 2009, it was estimated that the water dedicated to agriculture only reached the mark of 2 million m3. For Urban purposes the water abstraction was stated as 165 million m3, and for industrial uses the value was stated as much as 775 million m3 (more than 80 per cent of the total demand).
