In this paper the results of determination of natural waters from the territory of the township Smederevska Palanka and Rekovac (Serbia, Yugoslavia) are presented. The content of metals in waters was determined by the AAS method and other parameters were determined by spectrophotometric and potentiometric method.

During the 1994-1995, seasonal investigations of the fountainhead and spring region of the river Susica, near Uzice in West Serbia (Yugoslavia) were carried out. The bottom fauna composition, termic properties of air and water as well as chemical parameters were also determined. By the study of bottom composition 26 taxa were determined. The most uniform fauna was found in the Susica fountainhead while its diversity was increasing farther downstream the spring region.

MPI - Metal Pollution Index is being proposed with an aim improving the freshwater pollution control, monitoring and classification based on fish metal body burden. This is a simple mathematical model which enables presentation of Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn and Al fish liver concentration as a single value. After thorough studies of bioaccumulation, biomagnification and tissue distribution patterns, liver of Carassius auratus gibelio has been chosen as sentinel organ. Normal distribution and biological variation assessment is being achieved by using normalizers - reference values (liver concentrations of selected elements in fish from reference sites Vruje and Moharac micro water reservoirs, Serbia (Yugoslavia)). Selected representative sites have been evaluated according to new classification of freshwater ecosystem based on MPI values.

Serbia has a large number of various and for the application convenient mineral and spring waters for using. It is wide base that makes possible to develop practically everything that is abroad known for the application and perspectively possible. Serbia has well developed bottle industry of high quality mineral waters. Present and future seek, and Serbia has great chances to develop a new program production the world highest quality oligomineral waters, with the exclusive chemical composition, ecological safety and origin, suitable for everyday use drink and making food. In that aspect have been finished first completely new experiments and obtained the world significant first results, that are promising new program of production food naturally enriched with essential microelements in the most suitable chemical form for physiology of nutrition. The main aim in research theory and particularly practical application of marketing concept in increment sale of the mineral waters, is to analyze them in details and to use them as the basis for the suggestion of the appropriate measures and activities to help the manufacturer of the mineral waters, to incorporate the marketing concept as the way of business organizational and business strategy.

The aim of this paper is to present the current distribution of the species Corbicula fluminea and Corbicula fluminalis with new findings in Serbia. During the investigation performed from 1998-2008, these taxa were detected at 19 localities. It is noted that C. fluminea is well adapted to particular aquatic ecosystems, whereas C. fluminalis seems to be rare in Serbian waters. Wide distribution of alien clams, according to our results, showed that heavily modified main water ways are suitable recipient areas for introduction and adaptation of allochthonous organisms.
