Register of Protected Areas — Special Water Protection Areas

Protected areas — special water protection areas are those areas where additional protection measures need to be implemented in order to protect water and the aquatic environment, they are determined on the basis of the Water Act (OG 153/09, 63/11, 130/11, 56/13, 14/14) and special regulations. Protected areas — Special Water Protection Areas comprise: A — Water protection areas intended for human consumption (surface water protected areas, groundwater protected areas, source sanitation zones, areas intended for the abstraction of water intended for human consumption); B — Areas suitable for the protection of economically significant aquatic organisms (areas of waters conducive to freshwater fish life, areas of waters conducive to life and growth of bivalve molluscs), C — Bathing and recreation areas (on inland surface waters — bathing sites, at sea — sea beaches), D — Eutrophication and Nitrate Vulnerable Areas (Eutrophic, Sensitive Areas, Nitrate Vulnerable Areas of Agricultural Origin), E — areas intended for the protection of habitats or species where maintaining or improving the status of waters is an essential element of their protection in accordance with the Water Act and/or Nature Protection Regulations (Natura 2000 ecological network, protected natural values, protected areas of nature), F — areas of poor water exchange in coastal waters, sensitivity assessed in relation to urban waste water discharges. According to the Croatian Waters Act, the Register of Protected Areas — Special Water Protection Areas has been developed and regularly updated and supplemented in accordance with the Act prescribed by the Procedure.保护区——特殊水保护区是指为保护水体及水生环境而需实施额外保护措施的区域，其划定依据《水法（Water Act）》（OG 153/09、63/11、130/11、56/13、14/14）及专项法规确定。 保护区——特殊水保护区涵盖以下类别： A类：用于人类饮用水供水的水保护区（地表水源保护区、地下水源保护区、水源卫生防护带、饮用水取水区域）； B类：用于保护具有经济价值水生生物的区域（适宜淡水鱼类生存的水域、适宜双壳贝类生存与繁衍的水域）； C类：游泳及休闲区域（内陆地表水水域的游泳场、海域的海滨浴场）； D类：富营养化及硝酸盐敏感脆弱区域（富营养化敏感区域、农业源硝酸盐敏感脆弱区域）； E类：依据《水法（Water Act）》及/或《自然保护法规（Nature Protection Regulations）》，需以维持或改善水体状况作为其保护核心要素的栖息地或物种保护区域（Natura 2000生态网络、受保护自然价值区域、自然保护区）； F类：沿海水域中水交换能力较差的区域，其水环境敏感性针对城镇污水排放进行评估。 依据克罗地亚《水法（Croatian Waters Act）》，已按照法定程序开发并定期更新、补充《保护区——特殊水保护区登记册》。
