Removal of colour by coagulation in the drinking water treatment is described. Optimal results are obtained by pH correction. Buffer capacity of raw water is dominant on efficiency and rentability of the process.

It is intended the build up of three automated measurement stations for continuous measurement of water quantity and quality parameters on the rivers Danube and Tisza: water level, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, turbidity, ammonium ion concentration, nitrates concentration and chlorophyll a. The purpose of continuous measurement was to demonstrate the variability in time and space of the aquatic processes, as well as remote transfer of data to the centre. The large fluctuations of the data from discrete measurements illustrated the importance of continuous measurements for the complete description and modelling of the biological processes in the river.

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).

There are just a few data about species and quantities of phytobenthos for the Montenegrin coast, so that us one of the difficulties for the monitoring of changes caused by human impact. With the aim to contribute to the better knowledge of phytobenthos in this area we described distribution of Cystoseira barbata in the inner part of the Boka Kotorska bay and state of the environment in this aquatory.

Quality of irrigation water taken from three wells located at Rimski Sancevi near Novi Sad, Serbia, has been monitored for three years. The obtained results showed that the samples from the three wells had a relatively uniform quality. We are dealing with a mineralized water which may increase the salinity of poorly drained soil but it cannot cause soil alkalization because of low sodium levels. In view of the above, it is recommended to periodically check not only irrigation water quality but also soil salinity level.

Monitoring of demersal resources in the Montenegrin coast start at 1997. We used commercial trawl vessels by monthly dynamic trawling. Processed total catch, estimated percentage part in total catch and CPUE (Catch per Unit Effort). We used standard fishery biology methods, estimation of population dynamic parameters, economical important fish, Red Pandora, Pagellus erythrinus, Red Mullet, Mullus barbatus, and crustaceans species, Pink shrimp, Parapenaeus longirostris. Also, we estimated relative and absolute biomass and MSY (Maximum Sustainable Yield) of this important demersal resources. This data give support to Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management (of the Republic of Montenegro) to organize responsible exploitation of this resources. We finded center of higher biomass and relation to hydrographic factors, influence of income freshwater in the sea and increase of trophic level in this areas.

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.

The puddles Novo Ilje 1 and Novo Ilje 2 are aquatic ecosystems periodically filled with moderate salt and alkaline water. In 2003 and 2004 quantitative analysis show the Euglenophyta domination. Trachelomonas taxa are the most common. The algae in planktonic communities are the most numerous in both puddles in researched years.
