Abstract
This chapter presents an update regarding the water quality assessment and development in Slovakia. Also, the main conclusions and recommendations of the chapters presented in this volume are summarized. Therefore, this chapter presents a summary of the most important findings presented by the contributors of the volume. Topics which are covered include water resources in Slovakia, their assessment and development, water supply and demand, irrigation water, groundwater, water and sediment quality with emphasizing to mining water, wastewater management in Slovakia, and rainwater management. Also, a set of recommendations for future research work is pointed out to direct the future research toward the development of water resources which is one of the strategic themes of the Slovak Republic.
