Water in the Košuta ridge area

I have a one-week traverse of KSA, Košuta ridge and then onwards via Ljubelj to the west ahead of me. Due to the closed hut at Kofce and the mountain pasture at Spodnja Dolga Njiva, I will bivouac 3 nights in between. The only problem right now is water for these 3 days, as I couldn't find information if I can find a water source/spring somewhere along the way.
My route: From Češka koča I will descend to Jezersko, where I will refill supplies, then ascend to Sp. Dolga Njiva, where I bivouac. There will probably be time for a rest day. Next stage is traversing Košuta ridge to Kofce, where I bivouac. Next day via Hajnževo sedlo, Ljubelj (can get water) and Ljubeljščica to Zelenica.
Is it possible to find water somewhere on the Jezersko - Ljubelj route? I can make a detour too, since I have 1 day free for rest in between.
Thanks for the help!

Hello, just today I was at both Dolge Njive. There are several wooden troughs with water (don't know how drinkable), a fairly clean stream surely flows a bit lower, on the lower part of the path between Spodnja Dolga Njiva (1400m) and parking Pod Krnico (1250m - 10 min moderate descent on "shepherd path").
Planšarija was open.

Right above the Planšarija at Dolga Njiva there's a new wooden trough and pipe with water. I drank it and no short-term consequences  .
Probably they close this water when cows go to the valley, but I don't have info now when that will be.
Happy trails

Super, this makes things much easier. According to my info I'll just miss the open mountain pasture by a couple days, as they're slowly wrapping up the season. Maybe I get lucky and they'll still wait for me
Thanks to both!
