The team formed from the experts of three main institutions in groundwater sector of Serbia, namely: Department of Hydrogeology of University of Belgrade - Faculty of Mining and Geology, Institute for Water Management Jaroslav Cerni and Geological Institute of Serbia, has prepared the Groundwater Vulnerability Map of Serbia, scale 1:500,000. The work has been conducted during period 2007-2010 as one of the activities under implementation of a group of strategic projects which aiming to improve situation in groundwater sector and achieve the targets of EU Water Frame Directive. This is one of very few such regional maps created on national level worldwide. For this map standard GIS tools is used, but a new methodology has been developed for assessment of main factors which influencing the aquifers' vulnerability. Method is called IZDAN (Serbian name of aquifer) which is an acronyme of the following parameters: slope, soil, thickness of overlying layer, aquifer (permeability) and groundwater depth. On the created map it can be seen that majority of territory is covered by units characterized by low to moderate vulnerability on the pollution. Less than 1.7% belongs to highly vulnerable rocks.
