Assessment of water resources carrying capacity for the Island of Cres

Water resources carrying capacity (WRCC) is defined as the maximum number of persons (inhabitants) that can be sustained without limitation in a given area, using available renewable water resources. WRCC can be used in sustainability assessments and in the management and strategic planning activiti...
