Water in Pristina

Pristina, the capital city of Kosovo, is one of the municipalities with the most severe water shortages in the country.[1] Citizens of Pristina have to cope with daily water curbs due to the lack of rainfall and snowfall which has left the city's water supplies in a dreadful condition.[1] The current water resources do not fulfill the needs of the overgrowing population of Pristina. The water supply comes from the two main reservoirs of Batllava and Badovci.[1] However, there are many problems with the water supply that comes from these two reservoirs which supply 92% of the population in Pristina.[2] As such, the authorities have increased their efforts to remedy the situation and to make sure that such crises do not hit the city again.[3]
