Abstract

Klimatske promjene imaju značajan utjecaj na sve aspekte ljudskog života, no povećanje temperature te učestalije vremenske nepogode poput suša, poplava i obilnijih padalina imat će velik utjecaj na izvore vode za ljudsku potrošnju i njenu kvalitetu. Takve promjene mogu imati utjecaj na pH-vrijednosti, rast potencijalno štetnih algi, povećano otjecanje onečišćivača u površinske i podzemne vode te povećane razine organske tvari u vodi. Ovi parametri su zavisni jedni o drugima i neki od njih mogu bit opasni za ljudsko zdravlje poput toksina algi, nusprodukta dezinfekcije te onečišćivača poput pesticida i metala. Zbog očekivanih negativnih utjecaja koji su uzrokovani klimatskim promjenama za očekivati je da bi moglo doći do izmijene dosadašnjeg sastava površinskih voda, stoga je nužno prilagoditi procese obrade kako bi se dobila zdravstveno ispravna voda za piće.

Abstract (english)

Climate change is affecting all aspects of our lives, but rising temperatures and more frequent
and intense weather extremes such as droughts, floods, and rainfall will have significant
impacts on drinking water sources and overall water quality. The effects of changes in pH, the
growth of potentially harmful algal blooms, increased runoff of pollutants to surface and
groundwater, and increased concentrations of organic matter all impact water treatment
methods and processes. The above parameters are all interdependent and some of them could
be harmful to humans, such as toxic algal blooms, disinfectant byproducts, and pollutants such
as metals or pesticides. There is a need to adapt water treatment to the possible change in
water composition due to climate change.
