Povzetek
V prispevku predstavljamo geografsko metodo preučevanja značilnosti krajevnih vodnih virov na primeru zalednega dela slovenske Istre. Prispevek vsebuje pregled rezultatov starejših raziskav preučevanja značilnosti krajevnih vodnih virov v slovenski Istri, natančneje pa so prikazani rezultati raziskav, opravljenih v letih 2017 in 2019. Terensko smo kartirali in popisali značilnosti 23 vodnih virov na območju naselij Rakitovec, Zazid, Dvori in Movraž. Ugotovitve kažejo, da prevladujejo kali (10). Med zgrajenimi objekti za zajem in hranjenje vode prevladujejo visoko obzidani vodnjaki z vitlom in/ali črpalko (5). Zgolj oskrbi s pitno vodo so bili namenjeni 3 popisani vodni viri, 10 jih je bilo namenjenih mešani rabi, 10 pa pretežno oskrbi živine. Predstavljeni so tudi problemi oskrbe z vodo v preteklosti, današnja raba in ohranjenost krajevnih vodnih virov ter potencial njihove rabe v prihodnje.
Abstract
Geographical Research and Significance of Preserving Local Water Resources
Using Slovenian Istria’s hinterland as an example, this paper presents a geographical method for studying the characteristics of local water resources. It provides an overview of previous research on the features of local water resources in Slovenian Istria and, more specifically, the 2017 and 2019 research findings. Twenty-three water resources in Rakitovec, Zazid, Dvori and Movraž were mapped and inventoried during fieldwork. The findings indicate that livestock wells predominate (10). High-walled wells with a winch and/or a pump prevail among the constructed water intake and storage facilities (5). Three of the water sources inventoried were solely for drinking water supply, ten for mixed-use, and ten mainly for the supply of livestock. Water supply issues from the past are discussed as well as the current use and conservation of local water resources and their potential for future use.
