Explorations were done at the location Ilje, near Melenci. Novo Ilje 1 is a canal used for regulation of irrigation at the local fields. Novo Ilje 2 is a bog that dries out during the periods of low precipitation. Quantitative phytoplankton analysis of Novo Ilje 1 sample from 2003 determined that total amount of cells was 1.5 x 10**5 cell per liter. Total amount of cells in 2004 sample was 1.8 x 10**5 cell per liter. Quantitative phytoplankton analysis of Novo Ilje 2 sample from 2003 determined that total amount of cells was 1.7 x 10**5 cell per liter. Total amount of cells in 2004 sample was 3.1 x 10**5 cell per liter. Phytoplankton biomass in Novo Ilje 1 sample from 2003 was 2.6 x 10**8 cubic micrometer/l, and in 2004 sample was 1.09 x 10**8 cubic micrometer/l. Phytoplankton biomass in Novo Ilje 2 sample in 2003 was 3.06 x 10**8 cubic micrometer/l, and in 2004 sample was 1.62 x 10**8 cubic micrometer/l.

This paper shows the results of research of some phytoplankton and saprobiological characteristics of water in reservoir Grliste and the flowing rivers during the period of January 2001 to December 2007. During this period of researching, phytoplankton community was characterized by forms of Bacillariophyta, Chlorophyta, Cyanophyta, Chrysophyta, Pyrrophyta and Euglenophyta. Saprobiological analyses using bioindicatory species of algae showed oligosaprobic and beta-mezosaprobic characteristics of water in the reservoir. The analyses showed the poor water quality of Lesovacka and Lenovacka rivers which flow in reservoir. This water was determined as beta-mezosaprobic and alfa-mezosaprobic type. The phytoplankton was characterized by forms of Bacillariophyta, Chlorophyta, Pyrrophyta and Euglenophyta.
