Dear all,
our project is very near to a river and our client is proposing to make a 25m deep drill and pump water (which is not potable due to the river) and use it for irrigation purposes. I know that a well drilled just for irrigation purposes does not meet intend of this credit but the water cannot be marked as potable - part of the river in the city centre of Belgrade - Serbia. What do you think? Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Hi Jiri - I think the language of the credit would preclude that approach. The targeted water includes both potable water and 'other natural surface or subsurface resource.' A river sounds like natural surface water to me.
Hope that helps clarify,
Dan
