In this paper given are basic characteristics and projected functions of the DTD (Danube-Tisza-Danube) Hydrosystem (Yugoslavia), then types, origin and some characteristics of muds - sediments in the hydrosystem channels. It is estimated that in hydrosystem channels gets in averagely about 1.28x10**6 tons of deposits annually, and of that amount in channels are settled about 0.64 x 10**6 cubic meter annually. In 1980-1996 period, it is mudded from channels of the main channel network averagely about 0.19 x 10**6 cubic meter/year, and in 1991-1996 period, usually only about 0.056 x 10**6 cubic meter/year, i.e. about 10 of average amounts which are deposited during the year. Also explained are numerous undesirable influences of muds - sediments on water quality in channels, as well as functions of the DTD (Danube-Tisza-Danube) Hydrosystem in general. At the end, measures for gradually improving conditions that are influenced by muds - sediments are, proposed.

Stefanovic, J. | Bulajic, Z. (Institut za zemljiste, Beograd (Yugoslavia))
Hydrological, psamological and pluviographical measurements in experimental watershed area in the watershed of River Topciderska (Serbia, Yugoslavia) was analyzed. Interrelations between suspended sediment concentration in streams on the one hand and runoff, rainfall, rainfall intensity and index of previous rainfall on the other hand was came from this analyze. Effects of these parameters on suspended sediment concentration was considered for a single rainfall epizode, during the period of torrential waves and as annual value. Specific coefficients (coefficient of annual rainfall structure and coefficient of annual runoff structure) were used in this paper, with help of them effects of torrential waves and intensity rainfall on average annual suspended sediment concentration were considered.

Perisic, M. | Markovic, I. | Janezic, V. (Geoinstitut, Beograd (Yugoslavia))
In previous works numerous specific changes of water composition in the Danube backwater effects Iron Gate 1 reservoir (Yugoslavia), have been initiated. By studies of conditions of generation and composition of sediments, the models denying importance of assumption on sedimentological features of deposited materials foreseen by the project, have been established, as it was confirmed with more details by newer investigations. The new data on the character of sediments coincide in all elements with changes of water composition, which was formerly presented, thus the knowledges of these phenomena being in that way more important. The data on composition of the deposited material, the macro and micro-composition are of great importance to perceive the influence of new sediments to the quality of surface and groundwater, especially of the sources for water supply, then in a long term for the sudden high risk processes corresponding to a chemical time bomb. Data have confirmed validity of the model of intensified deposition of allochthonous material with plankton and influence of this phenomenon to the processes trough the downstream section.

Kezic, V. | Lompar, O. | Lehoczki, I. | Tohati, L. | Stanic, A. | Jovanic, S. (Zavod za zastitu zdravlja, Subotica (Yugoslavia))
One of the very dangerous pollution of environment are heavy metals. They are "indestructible" at the condition which leads at the environment. Pollution of heavy metals is irreversible process, except if they are physical removed from the environment which they are polluting. We determinated heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, Cr, Ni and Co) in the mud of three fish ponds by means of sequential extraction, because of possible mobility in the mud and its concentration increase in the water. This method was selected because we wanted to determine distribution of heavy metals by substrates, and analyse was worked by the method of AAS. The results are showing that the concentration of all metals is in the extent of "natural phone" of lakes sediment.

Aim of this study was to assess quality of the Danube sediment from the water source "Ratno Ostrvo", which is in the vinicity of the Oil Refinery "Novi Sad" (Serbia, Yugoslavia), after bombardment of the refinery in 1999. In the period March-October 2000, sediment samples were analysed for their oil and oil-derivates contents, i.e. mineral oils contents, by quantitative IR-spectrophotometry, and by qualitative and quantitative GC/MS analyses for their polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) contents. Oil pollution was detected in sediment samples.
Show more [+] Less [-]Potential erodibility of small watershed on the base of their geological structure
1999
Stefanovic, J. | Bulajic, Z. | Stefanovic, S. (Institut za zemljiste, Beograd (Yugoslavia))
There was investigated potential erodibility of two small experimental watersheds, which belongs to the watershed of Topciderska river, Serbia (Yugoslavia), on the base of geological structure of the watershed area. The investigations of potential erodibility of watersheds were included the analysis of tectonical and every geological formation, as from viewpoint of its possible erodibility as well as of possible sediment type (load, suspended and mixed) which were originated in desintegration processes. The sediment type domination, which was produced from watershed, was confirmed from granulometric composition of sediment in experimental watersteams. The synthesis of results of this analyses is presented with map of potenatial source of sediments from experimental watersheds.

Popovic, V. (Institut za zemljiste, Beograd (Yugoslavia)) | Spalevic, V. | Petrovic, P.
In this paper sediment production and sediment discharge and its influence on hydroenergetical potential as well as pollution of river Lim - upper flow, Montenegro (Yugoslavia), were taken into consideration. Besides of problems of sediment and water discharge protection - biological and technical measures for sanation the negative effects of erosion processes were recommended. Total annual sediment production for the river Lim - upper flow was 679,763 mE-3/year and annual sediment discharge was 312,013 mE-3/year. Such sediment (produced and discharged) has negative impact on the hydroenergetical potential and soil resources and also pollutes water with sediments and other harmful and hazardeous materials. Introduction of erosion control measures will reduce the negative effect of erosion on the tolarant level.

Microbiological monitoring of river water quality is obligatory for use-related aspects such as drinking water production, irrigation and recreation. Assessment of the microbiological quality of water and sediment at the Velika Morava River was performed at five sites, during 2010 and 2011. By applying standard procedures for sanitary correctness and organic load assessment, total of 16 parameters were analyzed. Results of analysis indicated that microbiological water quality of the Velika Morava River is unsatisfactory.

Marine sediments naturally contain arsenic at low concentrations. Increased concentrations could come from natural sources such as volcanic activity, hydrothermal vents and others, but they are usually the result of human activities. The largest number of arsenic compounds possesses toxic properties and due to this arsenic is classified as hazardous substances to the environment and biological species. Therefore, arsenic and its compounds are subject to chemical and biological analysis of sediments. Based on the analysis of sediment samples for arsenic content, this paper presents arsenic spatial distribution in the investigated area of the South-East Adriatic.

In order to collect information about the presence of priority and other substances whose quality standards are defined by Directive 2008/105/EC, the water and sediment quality monitoring was carried out in 6 sampling locations in four rivers and 14 sampling locations in protected areas in AP Vojvodina. The waters of the Carska Wetland, Ludas Lake and Danube River exceeded the quality standards for pentachlorobenzene, while the quality standard for cadmium was only exceeded in Carska Wetland. The priority substances detected in the sediment were lead, nickel, mercury, trifluralin, isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), pentachlorobenzene, hexachlorobenzene, 4-octylphenol, naphthalene, anthracene, fluoranthene, benzo(b)-and benzo(k)-flouranthene, benzo(g,h,i)-perylene and indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene.
