At the Menge‰ site, water is used mainly for technological purposes. From the public supply network, only 4 to 6% of the water is supplied, and the rest (at least 94%) comes from our own pumping station (groundwater). As shown in the ta- ble, the table only provides the data on water use efficiency for polluted waters (cooling waters exclusive). 2009 in 000 m 3 1,304 406 1,648 36 3,394 2010 in 000 m 3 1,427 396 1,679 39 3,541 2011 in 000 m 3 1,333 415 1,502 34 3,284 2012 in 000 m 3 1,272 452 1,409 35 3,168 2013 in 000 m 3 1,316 477 1,452 39 3,284 Year Unit Lendava Ljubljana Prevalje Menge‰ Lek (Total) Table 8: Water consumption in 000 m 3 41 2009 m 3 /t 1,177 151 536 28 219 2010 m 3 /t 962 214 548 31 256 2011 m 3 /t 833 225 500 22 233 2012 m 3 /t 745 217 496 29 237 2013 m 3 /t 772 224 570 31 249 from own pumping station (000 m 3 ) 1,591 1,591 1,432 1,335 1,376 from public supply network (000 m 3 ) 64 94 77 80 81 from own pumping station (000 m 3 ) 1,262 1,384 1,325 1,228 1,297 from public supply network (000 m 3 ) 42 46 39 61 58 Year Menge‰ Lendava Unit Lendava 2009 2009 Ljubljana* 2010 2010 Prevalje 2012 2012 Menge‰ 2011 2011 Lek (Total)* 2013 2013 Table 9: Efficency of water use* per unit of product 42 Table 10: Water supply quantities and sources at the Menge‰ and Lendava sites in 000 m 3 * Changes to the previous years’ data were due to the improved method of acquiring data on production realization at the Ljubljana site. 2.4.2 Water supply sources 43 From the Ministry of Agriculture, we have obtained appropriate permits for the use of water for technological purposes sup- plied from the Lendava and Menge‰ sites' own wells. 44 Regular monitoring of groundwater levels is performed as well, and the results are reported to the respective Ministry. Simultaneously with this annual monitoring, the impact of the well on the level and direction of groundwater is also monitored at the site. In the first half of year 2013, precipitation levels were by as much as 57% above the average for this period, whereas from June onwards, it was the opposite case. Monitoring of groundwater levels clearly showed that the dynamic ground- water supplies of Menge‰ko Polje are extensive. Despite of the below-average precipitation from June onwards there was no sharp decline in groundwater levels; they were declining fairly steadily and continuously.
