“…The most considered topics were pollution with: metals in the water 4-7 and sediments, [8][9][10][11] nutrients, [12][13][14][15][16][17] radioisotopes, [18][19][20] oil, 21 etc. There are many studies dealing with the general pollution status of the river, hence covering more than one group of pollutants [22][23][24][25] and also from a regulatory point of view.…”

The Danube River is an international river, one part of which flows through Serbia. The eco-chemical status of the Danube River is a constant topic of interest both at the local level, in each country through which the Danube flows, and at the international level. General interest to ensure the sustainable and equitable use of waters and freshwater resources in the Danube River Basin led to the development of a system for monitoring the river, which has produced data sets of its eco-chemical status. These have been collected over many years in Serbia; however, the present interest was focused only on the period from 1992 until 2006, i.e., a 15-year period. The process of defining trends of selected eco-chemical parameters, using linear regression analysis with a defined level of significance, and their separation from natural variability is of the highest importance for defining the changes in the water parameters. Through them, the fate and behavior of the eco-chemical parameters of the Danube in Serbia can be recognized and the prediction of their trends in the near future can be attempted. The obtained results revealed a constant improvement and acceptable trends of the eco-chemical status of the Danube River, as well as, substantial differences in the quality of the inflowing and out flowing water.

“…During JDS1 (Literáthy et al 2002), a total of 49 aquatic macrophyte species was identified, including 14 species of mosses, 16 submerged, nine floating leaf and free-floating plant species, as well three helophytes and one Characeae species. In the Upper Danube, bryophytes (mosses) dominate (67-89% cover).…”

“…Insects make up 74% of the total aquatic species biodiversity in the Danube (Graf et al 2015). The macroinvertebrate fauna of the Danube is highly diverse (Russev 1998, Literáthy et al 2002, Slobodník et al 2005, Csányi and Paunovič 2006. This is a consequence of strong longitudinal and lateral hydrogeomorphic gradients (Literáthy et al 2002, Sommerhäuser et al 2003.…”

This is a consequence of strong longitudinal and lateral hydrogeomorphic gradients (Literáthy et al 2002, Sommerhäuser et al 2003. Based on all these surveys, two distinct patterns were identified: (i) Diptera, Mollusca, Oligochaeta, Amphipoda and Trichoptera dominate the macroinvertebrate community along the Danube and (ii) taxon richness decreases longitudinally from the headwaters to the mouth (Literáthy et al 2002, Slobodník et al 2005, Csányi and Paunovič 2006, Liška et al 2008, Sommerwerk et al 2009).…”

In treating [the river] as a machine we have literally and conceptually disassembled the river. It has become to its users a set of separate spaces and parts. Fishermen see habitat. Irrigators see water. Power managers, utility operators, and those who run aluminium factories see reservoirs necessary to turn turbines. Barge owners see channels with certain depths of water. Environmentalists see brief stretches of free-flowing water. All stake a social claim to their part of the machine. None of them are concerned with the river as a whole."

Seasonal spatial and temporal changes of selected eco-chemical parameters in section of the Danube River flowing through Serbia were analyzed. Data for electrical conductivity (EC), dry and suspended matter, residue on ignition, chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD-5), ultraviolet extinction, dissolved oxygen (DO), oxygen saturation, pH, nitrates, total phosphorus, and nitrogen were collected between 1992 and 2006. The use of monthly medians combined with linear regression and two-sided t test has been proven to be the best approach for resolving trends from natural variability of investigated parameters and for determining trend significance. Patterns of temporal changes between different months were examined. It was also determined that spatial trends of some parameters oscillate in predictable manner, increasing in one part of the year and declining in the other. Regression slope coefficients, an excellent indicator for determining when the water quality is changing the most along the course of the Danube, reach their maximum during summer for temperature (t), electric conductivity, nitrates, and total N, while in the same season suspended matter, COD, BOD-5, DO, and oxygen saturation coefficients reach their minimum. Correlations for used data sets of selected parameters were analyzed for better understanding of their behavior and mutual relations. It was observed that as Danube flows through Serbia, its general eco-chemical status either stagnates or improves, but the rate of river self-purification often depends on the season of the year.
