ALTERNATIVES FOR WATER SUPPLY IN POPULATED CENTERS IN CRISIS SITUATIONS OR ACCIDENTAL POLLUTION
Abstract
Climate change will lead to an intensification of the hydrological cycle and can have a major impact on regional water resources. A change in water volume and distribution will affect both groundwater and surface water reserves usable in industry, domestic activities, irrigation, navigation, aquatic ecosystems, hydropower and some recreational activities. Changes in the total amount of rainfall, in their frequency and intensity, directly affect the size and times of floods and droughts. The impacts of climate change will also depend on the basic conditions and the ability of water managers to respond to climate change, population growth and changing demand and technological, economic, social and legislative conditions. The paper presents an alternative for water supply in populated centers in situations of crisis or accidental pollution. Monitoring the public fountains from city has led to the finding that the underground water supplied by the public fountains keeps its quality throughout the year being better during the hot seasons of the year, which is highly appreciated by the consumers in the detriment of centralized water supply system.
