Serbo-Croat term or phrase: ponorske zone
Мјере заштите воде за пиће у разматраном подручју имају, такође, своје специфичности које су условљене начином прихрањивања изворишта (понорске зоне), осјетљивошћу на појаву загађења у сливу (јак интензитет инфилтрације), осјетљивошћу на замућења и, што је најбитније, недостатком изворишта погодних за водоснабдијевање.

Једина „сигурносна“ мјера је избјегавање одвођења и испуштања пречишћених отпадних вода (засад и непречишћених) директно до понорских зона и то не само због чињенице да би то проузроковала велике материјалне трошкове, већ и чињенице да би то имало далеко веће неповољне посљедице (увођење у зону примарне циркулације подземне циркулације).

infiltration zones
Explanation:

Poniranje = Infiltration (Hydrology)
[Živković dr S, Građevinski en-sr/sr-en rečnik]


"Characterization of maximum infiltration areas using GIS tools
…
The objective of the study is the identification of maximum infiltration areas, taken as groundwater infiltration zones, in order to delineate a protection strategy for municipal water supplies. In this work a methodology for the delimitation of maximum infiltration areas and aquifer vulnerability is presented based on hydrogeological criteria that describe the infiltration potential of present ground conditions in the municipality of Seixal (Portugal). The areas of maximum infiltration will be those presenting the most favourable conditions for recharge of the aquifer systems. Considering that these areas are the most sensitive to contamination risk they should be classified using criteria that reflect the vulnerability of the aquifer system to possible contamination. Thus, the evaluation of maximum infiltration areas must consider, directly or indirectly, the hydrogeological characteristics of the terrain, such as its permeability and the hydrodynamics of the aquifer system."

In France, the bottled drinks manufacturer, Perrier-Vittel, demonstrated that reforestation in sensitive infiltration zones under the guise of protection forestry, alongside co-operative agreements with farmers, proved a cost-effective measure in the protection of French aquifers from agricultural nutrient and pesticide run-off and leaching (Johnson et al., 2001)."
