“…This composite indicator combines data from many water quality parameters. These index methods base their assessment of the water quality characteristics on legal requirements and assign a single number to the source's water quality [37,27]. The WQI has emerged as one of the main platforms for disseminating information about water quality and serves as a method of condensing data from several sources into a single, readily understood value.…”

The objective of the current study is to assess if water is suitable for drinking, irrigation, and aquatic life. From April 2021 to January 2022, water samples were taken on a monthly basis from three locations in the Salibat marsh. To apply the Canadian index, fourteen variables were tracked, including (Water temperature (WT), pH, Turbidity (Tur), Electrical conductivity (EC), Total dissolved solids (TDS), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biological oxygen demand (BOD5), Total hardness (TH), Nitrate (NO3), Nitrite (NO2), Active Phosphate (PO4), Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb) and Zinc (Zn)). The results showed that the water temperature varied from (20.1 to 39) C°. pH values ranged between (7.1-9.5), Turbidity (9.8-54.78) NTU, total hardness that varied from (120 to 560) CaCO3mg/l. Electrical conductivity was between (2650-23220) μs/cm. Total dissolved solids ranged between (1014-9428) mg/l, dissolved oxygen and biological oxygen demand ranged between (5-9.1) (10-18) mg\l respectively. Nitrate, nitrite and phosphate ranged between (0.14-59.10), (0.16-10.13), (0.04-5.65) μg\l, Cadmium, Zinc and Lead (0-0.022)(0-0.50)(0-0.42) mg\l. Results showed that the water quality was varied from marginal to good for irrigation but poor to marginal for aquatic life. It was also poor to marginal for drinking. Results showed that the water was suitable for irrigation, but not for drinking or aquatic life.

The community and composition of benthic macrofaunal species are determined in three sampling stations from upstream to downstream in Purba District. Sampling was performed in November 2021 during the rainy season. The results showed a population shift from upstream to downstream based on the predominance of insect and mollusk groups. The upstream was populated by Chironomus sp. (Insecta: Chironomidae) with 124 ind/m 2 , followed by Helicorbis sp. (Mollusca: Planorbidae) with 90 ind/m 2 , and Cambarincola sp. (Oligochaete) with 89 ind/m 2 . Helicorbis sp. with 298 ind/m 2 had the highest density in the midstream, followed by Cambarincola sp. (Oligochaete: Branchiobdllidae) with 285 ind/m 2 , and Melanoides sp. (Mollusca: Thiaridae) with 184 ind/m 2 . Furthermore, Melanoides sp. (533 ind/m 2 ), Helicorbis sp. (475 ind/m 2 ), and Limnodrilus sp. (288 ind/m 2 , Oligochaete: Naididae) were the three most dominant taxa in the downstream. The Shannon's diversity index (H') in upstream and downstream were both 2.12, while the downstream index was 1.90. There was a significant difference among stations based on relative taxa density (F 2,8 = 14.16, p = 0.005). Therefore, further research on other taxa groups, such as plankton and fish, should be conducted to increase the understanding of the anthropogenic effect on stream conditions in the Purba District.

The main goal of this work is to show water quality and impacts on Sitnica River. Based on the previous studies, the main cause of the deterioration of Sitnica River water quality is anthropogenic activities, including wastewater, industrial, and agricultural discharge. This paper presents the assessment of the Sitnica River water quality by applying the Canadian Water Quality Index (WQI) in 16 monitored parameters, such as water temperature, turbidity, electrical conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen and O 2 saturation, biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, etc. The parameters were measured in spring, summer, and fall, at 10 monitoring stations in the Sitnica River flow, from the spring to its confluence with the Ibër River. Based on the results obtained according to WQI, Sitnica's water quality varies from WQI-46 to WQI-95. The average WQI for the whole measurement period has resulted to be 63.5, meaning that the water of Sitnica River belongs to the marginal category. This indicates that the river has poor quality due to the effect of pollutants from various sources. This confirms the urgent need to undertake serious actions in monitoring the river and in managing it properly.
