In the case that water quality data or even discharge data are missing, pollution loads were calculated as application of appropriate simulation models of pollution transport. Models can be in different levels complexity. Accuracy of the results depends on the accuracy of measurement data. In this study water quality of River Neretva (prediction of BOD pollution loads) is modeled in section from Mostar to Žitomislić using numerical model MIKE 11. Model is calibrated on the basis of available experimental data. Data of another time series are used for verification of last mentioned. The comparative analysis between measured and simulated data showed that MIKE-11 is able to predict sufficiently accurate BOD and DO loads at the catchment outlet.

Water quality conditions of the Tatarnica canal are considered in this paper. Tatarnica is also the main canal of Begec drainage system, which is situated about twenty kilometers from Novi Sad on the west. Water quality of this canal is important, beside others, because its inflow into Danube is near Begecka Jama, which is representative of natural garden with special ecological asset. Results of investigation on this locality during three years are analyzed and presented. According the most relevant water quality parameters from predominant number of samples, water belongs to required category. Sometimes, a bad water quality are recognized, usually when organic pollution was appear, which influence higher value of BOD5.

The results of sediment quality monitoring gathered during the period 2002-2008 were processed and shown in the current work to assess the overall sediment quality in Vojvodina watercourses regarding heavy metals content. Since Serbia does not have legislation for sediment quality, Canadian and Dutch sediment criteria were used for evaluation of sediment quality. The elevated concentrations of heavy metals in Vojvodina watercourses are a consequence of the discharge of untreated or partially treated industrial and municipal wastewaters, but also of the corosion of metal structures and constructions (Cu, Zn) as well as the influence of difussion sources, principally agriculture (Cd, Cr, Hg) and transport (Pb).

Biofilm naturally occurs in many water distributive systems. The aim of the paper is to determine biofilm forming potential of bacteria isolated from tap water from Novi Sad. A colometric crystal violet microtitre plate test was used to determine bacterial potential to form biofilm. The results show that some isolates have a great potential to form biofilm, especially when grow on higher temperature and in the reach nutritive media.

Water quality in drainage canals system is under big influence of activities on surrounding agricultural land. In order to decrease transport and deposition part of plant protection chemicals and mineral fertilizers, vegetation belts with different shapes, characteristics and rules are possible to use. Besides the main purpose, this kind of belts are corridors for moving, but also place for living of wild plants and animals, what is increasing biodiversity. In that way, favourable conditions for organic agriculture in land reclamation area are possible to create.

Aquatic macrophytes are exceptional accumulations of heavy metals and they are very important in phytoremediation of the pollutants. The aim of the survey was to show according to content of heavy metals in aquatic macrophytes DTD (Danube-Tisza-Danube) canal complex, at localities under great human influence indicate the situation of chemical contamination these localities and to define test species, actually the ones that have the greatest accumulation. Plant material was prepared according to the Standard Methods for Examination of Water and Wastewater of the American Health Association. Analysis of heavy metals in the plant tissue samples was done by standard methods using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The best accumulator of majority of heavy metals is Ceratophyllum demersum. The results show that mentioned species can be used for removal of heavy metals from water, what means that it has the ability of phytoremediation of pollutants.

Arsenic is very toxic element and great pollutants in the environment. In this work we determine the content of arsenic in sea water from different sampling points of Montenegrin coast (mouth of river Bojana, Valdanos, Bar port, earlier Bar, Platamuni, Tivat bay) in winter and spring period. The content of arsenic was determined by using hydride AAS technique (Perkin Elmer, model 3300). The results were compared with the literature data and standard reference materials (Sea water CASS-1 National Research Council Canada-NRCC).

Since the water from the intergranular aquifer of Cemovsko Polje (Montenegro) represents an invaluable drinking water reserve, which can also be used for irrigation, the check up of the aquifer revealed that it is being infiltrated by pollutants from somewhere within the catchment area. The results have shown that the mentioned water from the intergranular aquifer (T3 and T4) is influenced by the agricultural activities in the area, leakage from the uncontrolled landfill of Podgorica, depending on the hydrological conditions, and, to a smaller degree, by the quality of the surface waterflows, with which it is connected.
