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.
