The physicochemical parameters of water play an important role in determining aquatic life and its development. In this study, the water quality index is used in order to assess the water quality in river Lepenci River. For the calculations of this index, eighteen physicochemical parameters were analysed, which were measured in 3 years during the years 2009, 2010 and 2014 in three stations of the main flow of river Lepenci during all months of the years. From the results, it is concluded that the better quality of water was in station SP1-Brezovica with a WQI value of 83 and it belongs to the Good category, lower quality of water has been shown in station SP3-Hani Elezit with a WQI value of 53 belonging to the marginal category. The average value for all measurement periods resulted in 70.44 which has shown that the water quality of the river Lepenci, based on the physicochemical parameters, belongs to the Fair category. Based on these results, we conclude Water quality impairment is mainly associated with an increase in population, urbanization, industrialization, and agricultural production, among others, and the development of ecotourism and hospitality in high areas near the source areas.
This study aimed to evaluate the discharge waters in the Nerodime River and the impact of the seasons on the quality of the surface waters in the Nerodime River. Research data were collected at six locations along the Nerodime River in three seasons of 2021. During this research, 14 physico-chemical parameters and total coliform bacteria were analyzed. Based on the study results, most of the tested parameters are above the maximum values allowed in conformity with the legislation in Kosova (Administrative Instruction (MMPH) No. 30/2014 and Administrative Instruction (MMPH) No. 16/2012). CCA (canonical correspondence analysis) indicates that Total coliform bacteria were in positive correlation with turbidity, color, chlorides, sulphates, and total coliform bacteria. This Poor quality is a consequence of anthropogenic activities including industrial water use and sewage discharge.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
