The benefitting municipality of Brod Moravice is located in the region of Gorski Kotar in the north-west of Croatia between the Capital Zagreb and the coastal city Rijeka. Roughly 2,000 inhabitants are currently living in Brod Moravice and its surroundings. The region is sparsely populated and mountainous.

Although 98% of the households have access to the public water supply system and are provided with drinking water of good quality, the current infrastructure is in need of improvement. The main deficiencies are a lack of water supply continuity, an unreliable pressure in the water supply system and a risk of pollution because of worn-out and corrosive installations. These deficiencies are leading to an unsatisfying service quality. Today, the water loss rate of the region is estimated at 52%.

As per 2015, none of the households of Brod Moravice and its surroundings was connected to a functioning sewerage system with wastewater treatment. The totality of sanitary wastewater is either discharged uncontrolled into nature or has to be collected individually and treated at high cost elsewhere.
