Due to the long-term drought and as a last measure before an even stricter water reduction, the municipalities on the Slovenian coast have stopped watering public green areas, banned showering on beaches and taken a series of other similar measures to reduced consumption.

The mayors of four Slovenian coastal municipalities, the largest of which is the municipality of Koper, announced that the current state of water reserves is critical and similar to the situation that occurs in years with the usual amount of precipitation only at the end of July.

For this reason, until further notice, they have decided to close all irrigation systems for public green spaces, showers on all beaches, as well as fountains and fountains in public places, have been turned off.

From today, the watering of private gardens and the washing of cars are prohibited, while they can only be cleaned by those car washes that use recycled water.

Likewise, municipal services were ordered to reduce the amount of water for watering trees and public spaces with flowers, while warnings were placed in public toilets calling for water conservation.

Likewise, washing the yard and filling the pool is prohibited, and hotels and those dealing with private tourist accommodation are invited to inform their guests about the water situation and ask them to conserve water.

According to Slovenian media, such a prolonged drought in this area has not been remembered since 2012, when the situation was also facing a major reduction that was avoided, as well as the situation with the water supply in the part of Slovenia where the population is constantly growing and where many local and foreign tourists come did not improve significantly.
