The water quality of supply systems differs by a regionto another. The content of surface waters depends on the soil mineral composition wherethe water flows, and from the structure of aquifers. This is a serious problem, given thatstandards are not respected for sanitary areas. Also, regular water quality and quantitymonitoring is not performed.Water quality monitoring in public water supply systems is the responsibility of NPHIK,which follows on, performs analysis and makes reports on the adequacy of waterquality.Most of bacteria are located in water supply systems of small cities / rural areas (usuallywells or springs), but there are reported cases for non-suitability of drinking water quality(mainly bacteriological residues) in public water supply systems.About 70% of the population are connected to the water supply system, 65% of ruralpopulation drink the water from wells, where most of them are not hygienic, while about40% of the population have access to the sewerage network.The NPHIK regularly undertakes activities aimed at establishing control over the drinkingwater quality.According to the data from the monitoring of drinking water sources from this institution,it is found that pollution of drinking water is highly characterised with bacteriologicalcontamination than from chemical contamination. According to NPHIK, 74% -90% ofwells are contaminated with faeces 45 .Since the post-war period until today, the cases of infectious and parasitic diseases havebeen decreased significantly.45 National Institute of Public Health of Kosovo (NIPHK)104120 © Agjencia e Kosoves per Mbrojtjen e Mjedisit
