Abstract

The most effective way to ensure drinking water quality and protect public health is the implementation of a preventive, risk-based approach to water supply management. This approach encompasses all stages, from the water source to the consumer, and can be applied across all water supply systems, regardless of their size. The EU Drinking Water Directive (Directive (EU) 2020/2184) emphasizes the importance of this concept. This study assesses and analyzes the risk of groundwater contamination at the water supply sources using a commonly applied risk assessment methodology, which quantifies risk based on the likelihood and potential consequences of hazard occurrence. The methodology for defining risks involved assessing the probability and consequences of certain hazards for the water supply. Based on this, a total of 19 risks were defined, which were prioritized into 4 levels.
