The public water supply played a major role in the urbanization of Debrecen city, just like in the case of many other cities. We had plenty of water and so we wasted it. However nowadays we experience a considerable decrease in the level of groundwater which causes an increasing need of energy for pumping. Beside the above mentioned the ecological threat and the decreasing water quality are also major problems. This study attempts to draw attention to the possibilities and the future of the regional water supply, by showing the history of the water supply, the sanitation systems of Debrecen and their present day activities.

The Law

The public water supply and sewerage service includes the totality of activities of public utility and general economic and social interest carried out for the purpose of the collection, treatment, transportation, storage and distribution of drinking water on the territory of the administrative-territorial unit, as well as for the purpose of the collection and purification of wastewater. This service is regulated, in particular, by the Law on public water supply and sewerage service No. 303/2013. The object of the law represents the creation of the legal framework for the establishment, organization, operation, regulation and monitoring of the public drinking water supply and sewerage service in the conditions of accessibility, availability, reliability, continuity, competitiveness, transparency, respecting quality, safety and environmental protection. Everything that exceeds these activities is not subject to the regulation of the Law No. 303/2013. And the application of the “share” is an illegal activity that is punishable in accordance with the legislation in force.

Abstract From all the methods applied in preventing dental caries, the most significant is the use of fluorides. Nowadays, 6 decades after its massive use, it can certainly be argued that it is the most efficient, cheapest and safest way of preventing dental caries, confirmed by more than 150 longitudinal studies. In order to determine the presence of fluorides in drinking water, in coordination with the Institute for Public Health of the FYR Macedonia in 2009, we conducted a research for determining the presence of fluorides in drinking water from the public water supply in the country. The results from the research showed that concentration of fluorine in drinking water in our country is under 0.3ppm (0.3 mg per litre of water), which indicates a really low amount in accordance to the WHO standards. Optimal concentration was registered in only few water supply facilities in less settled areas, while hyper-fluorinated water was registered in few village wells, which were put out of use after they were located.

The paper focuses on the issue of drinking water supply without use of any disinfectants. Before the public water supply network operator begins to consider switching to operation without use of chemical disinfection, initial assessment should be made, whether or not the water supply system in question is suitable for this type of operation. The assessment is performed by applying the decision algorithm. The initial assessment is followed by another decision algorithm which serves for managing and controlling the process of switching to drinking water supply without use of a disinfectant. The paper also summarizes previous experience and knowledge of this way operated public water supply systems in the Czech Republic.

The countries and regions which suffer from the shortage of fresh water resources have developed sea and brackish water desalination plants to supply drinking water. The desalination process has usually been designed from the rejection ratio of salt to meet the level of soluble residue, chloride concentration for drinking purposes. The Japanese government revised the drinking water quality standards to enhance an appropriate drinking water quality management for many hazardous micro-pollutants in drinking water. Since there has not been sufficient studyies on the performance of R.O. desalination processes on micro hazardous constituents, the authors carried out a pilot plant study and field study of several desalination plants for the public water supply. Most of the constituents of R.O. filtrate meets the drinking water quality standard under the design and operational condition that to attain 99% of the salt rejection. However, Langlier's index, boron and bromoform produced different figures from other inorganic constituents and organic micro pollutants. The rejection ratio of boron ranged only from 43 to 78%. Although the rejectio ratio of boron can be improved by increasing the driving pressure and by adjusting pH, the filtrate cannot meet the drinking water quality standard. Chlorination in the R.O. desalination process produces bromoform that can be removed by the R.O. membrane. However, bromide ion in the filtrate can enhance the formation of disinfection byproducts, if the filtrate is mixed with fresh water, in the distribution system of the public water supply.
