eeing the climate changes effect and SDG-6 by, RWC Pristina

developed a strategic plan towards source protection, and

proper water source management. Currently RWC Pristine is

using different water source, surface and underground, but still

Badovc Lake is one of the biggest and most important sources.

Since 1965 when Badovc Lake is filled, its destination from the

beginning was to use it, also as a water source for population of

capital city of Pristina. Meanwhile there were a population growth

and with this automatically came to a need for more water, and in

other side more potential pollutant on the streams, river and then

lake. Seeing from this point of view RWC Pristina has invested on

source protection, and finally in 2017 started to operate fully with

waste water treatment plant (WWTP). This WWTP is constructed

in lowest part of village Mramor. Previously all the sewage has

been discharged directly on the stream, and then this stream

was discharging into Badovc Lake. On 2016 it was constructed a

sewage line, which now discharges firstly into inlet of WWTP, this

waste water go through biological treatment process and finally

discharges again in the stream, river that fills Badovc Lake. From

Badovc Lake water goes for treatment through pump station to

water treatment plant and then it goes to distribution water supply

system.
