In order to determine the dynamic of biomass of stoneworts from Lake Ohrid as a function of the trophic state of the water, we collected samples from four different localities. The localities Sveti Stefan and Mazija, were characterized by oligotrophic state of the water, while the other two Grasnica and Daljan were characterized by eutrophic-mezotrophic water quality. The stoneworts samples were taken from 4-5 different depths from each investigated locality. The results of our investigations have shown that higher trophic level of the water from the littoral region of the localities Grasnica and Daljan (especially in the points of inflow of river Grasnica and Daljan) decreases the amount in stoneworts biomass compared with the biomass of stoneworts collected from the first two localities that characterizes oligotrophic character of the water.

Processes like QMS (Quality management systems) and EMS (Environmental management systems) consist of series of procedures/elements, among which are operative or working procedures. One of these procedures is control of waste waters from the Aluminium Plant in Podgorica, Montenegro (Serbia&Montenegro). This procedure controls the order of activities, the responsibility, the input and output documents, with the exclusive aim to measure the effects of protection of surface and underground waters and to review the EMS of the company for the waste waters.

In order to protect the water current of the river Tisza, the fermentation industry AD "Fermin" Senta, Serbia (Serbia&Montenegro) has built the biological waste water treatment plant for the waste water discharged from the yeasts producing factory, which started the production in 1982. So far the output of the plant can be definied as not equal to the designed capacity level. The results of four effect analyses have been shown in the tabelar survey as well as the technological block scheme of both the current and suggested solution projects. The suggested solution basically contains phase separation in anaerobic procedure and the intraduction of tertial treatment method (nitrification and denitrification). The paper presents a contribution to optimal technology of industrial waste water treatment.

The results of the regular water quality monitoring in the river Moraca (Montenegro, Serbia&Montenegro), are presented in this paper. Thirty samples have been processed from six measuring station along the river's flow. The data relevant quality indicators (conductivity, dissolved oxygen, chemical oxygen demand, five days biochemical oxygen demand, ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, and phosphates) have been processed in the light of the existing regulations. It has been confirmed that the water quality, from the physical-chemical aspect, varies depending on the measuring location and the hydrological situation. The evaluated condition shows that the water quality gets worse, in the period of the five years, on the profiles of downstream places from Podgorica. The level of decrease gets to deviation from the requested A2CII class. It is particularly shown in the changes of the values for the nutrients and the relevant indicators of the organic pollution (dissolved oxygen, five days biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand), which we presume can be consequence of the effect of the algaes during the period of the "low level water".

The work is concerned with the study of groundwater quality in respect of hydrocarbons content, carried out on several sites on the territory of the Oil Refinery Novi Sad (Serbia, Serbia&Montenegro). In the course of four year that elapsed since the time spillage of crude and oil derivatives and deposition of burning products on the Refinery soil (April-June 1999) the processes of passive in situ bioremediation have been taking place on the contaminated area. By comparing the results for three contamination zones in a circle of 270 m from the site at which the spillage occurred, a certain increase in content of mineral oil was observed in deeper water-bearing layers at a distance of 200 and 270 m from the spillage site. A content of BTEX components the "movement" of the pollution was observed from the close zone 1 via the farther zone 2 to the farthest zone 3, which indicates that the intensity of bioremediation and all physico-chemical processes in general, taking place on the pollution site, is not sufficient to prevent pollution spreading. The assumption that the zone in question in probably a limiting zone is based on the results of the fourth sampling campaign, in which BTEX components were not detected on any of the locations of the zones 2 and 3.

This paper presents the most important results on water quality investigation of the Danube river in the Iron Gate reservoir. The investigations are conducted by the Institute Jaroslav Cerni by means of regular monitoring renewed after a long pause in 2001. The determined phenomena are considered in regard to water quality of the Danube river in the upstream zone.

Forest ecosystems are important component of environment and row basis for wood processing industry. Traditional attitude about primate of productive functions in relation to useful functions, is under question, due to next reasons: exhaustion of sources of wood mass; affirmation of protective and regulative functions in domains of water-supply and erosion control. This attitide os represented in basic plan documents in Serbia, as well as in European Union. Protection, care of existing, and restoration of degraded forests, are the possibilities for development of high-profitable activities such as: recreation and sport tourism, hunting tourism and healthy food production.

During the parasitological investigations on the gills of 3 cyprinid species from Lake Dojran (the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia), are found 4 monogenean species: in Rutilus rutilus dojranensis are found Dactylogyrus similis and Dactylogyrus suecicus, in Scardinius erythrophthalmus dojranensis is found Dactylogyrus difformis, and in Alburnus alburnus macedonicus is found Ligophorus sp. Prevalence in Rutilus alburnus dojranensis is 40.46%, in Scardinius erythrophthalmus dojranensis is 55.56%, and in Alburnus alburnus macedonicus is the lowest and amounts 2.02%. All monogenean species represents the first record for parasitic fauna of fish species in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. Finding of Ligophorus sp. in the fishes of the family Cyprinidae is new to science generally.

According to existing national Standard for drinking water quality NO3 sup(-) ion is limited to 50 mg/l. Removal of NO3 sup(-) concentration greater than this limit is necessary. One of the possible methods is biological denitrification with CH3OH. Principals of this method are described in this paper with recommendation for construction of pilot plan on the specific groundwater source.

In order to increased the amount of water in Sjenica water reservoir (because of higher production of electric energy by hydroelectrical power plant), stagnant waters of Pester field were irrigated to Vapa river and Sjenica lake. Former swamp areas and theirs life communities, represented specific biological filter in Pester high, a kind of natural lagoons, where big amounts of polluted water with nutrients were spent a processed (especially salts of P and N) were characteristic for exact area because of intensive cattle production. After the irrigation on Pester field, raw, polluted water with the large amount of nutrients by Vapa river get to the Sjenica water reservoir where they represented main cause of eutrophication and degradation of water quality in this aquatorium. Heterogenic and numerous algal association in canal of the Pester field is nearly leftover of previous specific algological flora which testifies the presence of species Chaetophora incrassata Hazen (new habitat in Serbia), the first class water indicator.
