Obradović, Vesna | Perović, Marija | Pajić, Predrag
The conducted research aims to explore the intricate relationship between the physicochemical properties of groundwater and its microbiological composition within the selected wells of the Danube alluvial zone. The study aimed to determine levels of physicochemical and microbiological composition, as well as their involvement in various transformation processes, allowing insights into the groundwater potential for specific transformations. Although groundwater is commonly viewed as a reliable water source, its slow flow in certain conditions allows pollutants to persist once they infiltrate, posing potential risks to its safety for consumption. Hence, conducting a comprehensive and meticulous analysis becomes crucial to evaluate its suitability for diverse purposes and to establish the necessary construction standards for sustainable utilization. The obtained results have shown that the Danube alluvium exhibits significant biochemical diversity, which, along with changes in the concentration of redox-sensitive species, suggests dynamic hydrochemical and microbiological oxidation-reduction processes that can affect the primary quality of infiltrated Danube water in various ways.
