Nitrate[s] in alluvial waters in the vinicity of groundwater source "Kljuc 1" [of the town of Pozarevac [Serbia, Serbia&Montenegro]]
2003
Boreli-Zdravkovic, Dj. | Radenkovic, Z. (Institut za vodoprivredu "Jaroslav Cerni", Beograd (Serbia and Montenegro))
Concentrations of nitrate above defined levels for portable water are present in most of the groundwater sources in Velika Morava river alluvion. Some problems exists in Meminac and Kljuc, groundwater sources of Pozarevac town. Some detail investigations were organized in 2002. Survey of groundwater quality in the wide surrounding of Kljuc confirmed some earlier made assumptions about influence of agriculture and sewage water, and their contribution to existing groundwater quality.

The paper deals with determining the dependence of trihalomethanes forming (chloroform, bromdichlormethane, dibromchlormethane and bromoform) on the contents of natural organic matters from groundwater. The analyses was made bay calculating correlation of trihalomethanes forming potential (THMPF) with UV absorbance and permanganate number as surogates parameters for defining in content NOM in water. These were used to observe the changes in the content of organic matters after coagulation. A good correlation of THMPF, PF chloroform and UV absorbance (254 nm) (coeficient of correlation 0.72 and 0.87) was observed as well as a good with UV absorbance (254 nm) (coeficient of correlation - 0.88) and with PN (coeficient of correlation - 0.80) in coeficient of correlation in bromated trihalomethanes forming.

As a consequence of bombing of Novi Sad Oil Refinery, Serbia (Serbia&Montenegro), the spillage of large amounts of oil and derivatives caused hydrocarbons pollution of the area surrounding the Refinery and the river Danube, thus directly endangering the entire water source "Ratno ostro". As a measure of protection in the division zone of the Refinery and the water source area, a hydraulic barrier was constructed. Within the process of monitoring piezometer water quality and the water supplied by protection system wells, microbiological analyses of water were carried out with the aim of supervising the barrier functioning. The results have shown that bacterial populations in polluted areas exhibit a duel role: they act as bioindicators of a certain pollution, but at the same time they take part in the process of selfpurification.

2003
Vukcevic, S. (Institut za tehnicka istrazivanja, Podgorica (Serbia and Montenegro)) | Vukmirovic, V. | Dakovic, S.
Degradation of groundwater quality whish is used as a raw water source, caused by the continuous pollution, develops gradually. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the pollution influence, on the first place by the expect concentration of hazardous substances in groundwater. Water source protection measures are based on the results of these analyses.

2003
Djurovic, D. | Karajic, M. | Delevic, V. (Institut za zdravlje Crne Gore, Podgorica (Serbia and Montenegro))
Water quality examination of water source Zagoric, was conducted with aim to determine water quality on the bases of physico-chemical parameters, in dry and rainy period. Water supply system in Podgorica scopes several water supply sources out of which Mareza and Zagoric have the greatest capacity. The aim of this study was to determine hygienic quality of water in operational and dug wells on representative locations in flow areas, and on the basis of obtained results to estimate its influence on population health.

2003
Perovic, S. (Kombinat aluminijuma, Podgorica (Serbia and Montenegro)) | Kolinovic, R. | Grzetic, I.
Processes like QMS (Quality management systems) and EMS (Environmental management systems) consist of series of procedures/elements, among which are operative or working procedures. One of these procedures is control of waste waters from the Aluminium Plant in Podgorica, Montenegro (Serbia&Montenegro). This procedure controls the order of activities, the responsibility, the input and output documents, with the exclusive aim to measure the effects of protection of surface and underground waters and to review the EMS of the company for the waste waters.

2003
Ivancev-Tumbas, I. (Prirodno-matematicki fakultet, Novi Sad (Serbia and Montenegro). Institut za hemiju) | Dalmacija, B. | Becelic, M. | Karlovic, E. | Tamas, Z. | Pesic, V. | Agbaba, J. | Jovanovic, D.
The work is concerned with the study of groundwater quality in respect of hydrocarbons content, carried out on several sites on the territory of the Oil Refinery Novi Sad (Serbia, Serbia&Montenegro). In the course of four year that elapsed since the time spillage of crude and oil derivatives and deposition of burning products on the Refinery soil (April-June 1999) the processes of passive in situ bioremediation have been taking place on the contaminated area. By comparing the results for three contamination zones in a circle of 270 m from the site at which the spillage occurred, a certain increase in content of mineral oil was observed in deeper water-bearing layers at a distance of 200 and 270 m from the spillage site. A content of BTEX components the "movement" of the pollution was observed from the close zone 1 via the farther zone 2 to the farthest zone 3, which indicates that the intensity of bioremediation and all physico-chemical processes in general, taking place on the pollution site, is not sufficient to prevent pollution spreading. The assumption that the zone in question in probably a limiting zone is based on the results of the fourth sampling campaign, in which BTEX components were not detected on any of the locations of the zones 2 and 3.

2003
Dalmacija, B. (Prirodno-matematicki fakultet, Novi Sad (Serbia and Montenegro). Departman za hemiju) | Klasnja, M. | Agbaba, J. | Ivancev-Tumbas, I. | Becelic, M.
The process of removal of natural organic matter from groundwater by adsorption on powdered activated carbon, coagulation and flocculation was investigated. It was found that the combination of these processes yielded a decrease of KMnO4 values, which allowed the reduction of the coagulant concentration, needed to achieve the necessary quality of drinking water, up to 50%. Also, it was established that the sequence of adding powdered activated carbon and coagulant is one of the essential factors determining the efficiency of NOM removal from water, and which is primarily conditioned by the nature of the organic matter present in the investigated water.

2003
Agbaba, J. (Prirodno-matematicki fakultet, Novi Sad (Serbia and Montenegro). Departman za hemiju) | Dalmacija, B. | Klasnja, M. | Ivancev-Tumbas, I.
The paper deals with pilot-scale investigations of the effect of preozonation on NOM removal from groundwater by coagulation and flocculation processes. It was found that the preozonation increased the efficiency of organic matter removal by coagulation and flocculation from 23.6 to 47.2% as judged on the basis of KMnO4 values. From the aspect of the change of content of trihalomethanes precursors preozonation exhibits both the positive and negative effects if their content in the water after coagulation is considered in dependence of the applied ozone dose. The obtained values siggest the necessity of careful optimization of the processes of preozonation, coagulation, and flocculation, especially from the aspect of the change in content of the precursors of disinfection byproducts.

2003
Pusic, M. (Rudarsko-geoloski fakultet, Beograd (Serbia and Montenegro)) | Djuric, D. (Institut za vodoprivredu "Jaroslav Cerni", Beograd (Serbia and Montenegro))
According to Water Plan of the Republic of Serbia the area between Kovin and Dubovac was marked as a possible place for water source for regional water supply of towns and industry of South Backa Region (Serbia). Commencement of underwater coal exploitation was at the beginning of 1990's in the Danube riparian zone near Dubovacka Ada. Potential influence of long-term underwater coal exploitation from "Kovin" trial coal pit on Dubovacka Ada on quality and quantity of groundwater that will be extracted from regional water source is analysed in this article.
