Implementation of a monitoring approach: the Palic-Ludas lake system in the Republic of Serbia

Vremenski Monitoring Četvrtog Sektora Jezera Palić

“…After implementing an exhaustive analysis of the existing water quality data of Lake Palic, we concluded that it would be beneficial to conduct a short-term measuring campaign focusing on increased sampling frequency. Namely, regular samplings are performed monthly, suggesting there are 12 data sets each year for the selected locations [1,2,3]. As our previous research determined [1,2,3], this is not the case since, during the years, the monitored water quality parameters were known to be replaced.…”

“…The sensitive water quality of Lake Palic has caused numerous task groups to implement different investigations to determine the causes of poor water quality and provide suggestions for its enhancement [1,2,3]. One major issue is the restricted spatial and temporal water quality data [2,3].…”

“…One major issue is the restricted spatial and temporal water quality data [2,3]. Although there are monthly water quality measurements implemented throughout the lake, not all of the parameters are evaluated each month [1]. Much of the parameters are determined only four times a year.…”

“…The proper understanding of the examined water body can be achieved by implementing detailed measurements (e.g., described in [4]). As a result of the Author's previous efforts to implement continuous measurements of any kind within this area, conjoined with the analysis of the existing water quality measurements, the Authors concluded it would be reasonable to implement a localized measuring campaign within a selected segment of Lake Palic to determine potential water quality tendencies [1,2,3]. Consequently, we implemented a measuring campaign lasting one month.…”

“…This paper describes further research regarding the spatial water quality distribution along the shoreline of Lake Palic's fourth sector (Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, Republic of Serbia). Namely, after the previously conducted all-inclusive analysis of the existing monthly water quality data [1,2,3], the Authors concluded additional research could prove beneficial. Proper understanding of the gathered data highly depends on the quality of the measurements.…”
