The paper outlines the significance of studying and analyzing sediment deposition issues in irrigation/drainage canals in Vojvodina. This problem needs to be properly addressed considering the total length of the canal network, that is, the total volume of sediment to be removed by dredging if the functional performance of the canal network is to be restored and maintained. Much of the effort needs to be focused to the polluted sediments with a severe risk for the environment. Sediment pollution is caused by the point and non-point sources of pollution, such as agriculture, urban and industrial waste waters, etc. Taking characteristic irrigation/drainage canals as the example, essential chemical properties of the sediment, heavy metals and hazardous and toxic substances contents are being analyzed and presented in the paper.
