Overview of Water Resources

Montenegro has sufficient rainfall and relatively good protection of its water resources and sufficient ground and surface waters. Consequently Montenegro is not water-stressed.

Average consumption in Montenegro is extremely high, and that it is almost twice as high as the consumption in Western Europe (average 150 liters per capita per day).

In 2005, 99% of the population had access to improved sanitation facilities and 98.3% had access to improved sources for drinking water (MDG 3) for the same year was 98,3 %. The quality of drinking water is regulatory monitored for the public water supply systems and is defined in accordance with WHO and EU standards.
