Investigations of phytoplankton were done in the shallow Montenegrin coastal sea during the period from June to December, 2002. These investigations were the continuation from the preceding years. The main intention was to establish the impact of eutrophication to the quantity and composition of phytoplankton i.e. to establish the difference between areas in the bay and outside the bay. Like is previous years, the highest quantities of phytoplankton - microphytoplankton above all, were found in the area of the Boka Kotorska Bay (in Kotor Bay), Montenegro (Serbia&Montenegro). In July, 2.1 x 10**6 cells/cubic dm were found with dominant species Leptocylindrus minimus represented with 1.4 x 10**6 cells/cubic dm. In the area outside the Bay of Boka Kotorska, exposed to the impact of the open sea, values were significantly lower. In front of Budva, maximum was 1.7 x 10**5 cells/cubic dm in July. At locality exposed to the influence of the river Bojana (brackish water), similar values were established, except in October when 1.1 x 10**6 cells/cubic dm were found.

There have been given research results of quantitative and qualitative indices of communal and industrial waste waters of Nis. The research was carried out by the Institute "Jaroslav Cerni" (group of authors) and JKP "Naissus" (4) with the goal of defining as reliable parameters as possible in order to draw up plans for a central wastewater cleansing plant in Nis, as well as several necessary treatments of the industrial waste waters. There have been presented quantities, load and expected load of the total waste water, basic characteristics of urban and natural recipient, waste water influence on the river Nisava and needed degree of cleansing.

The aim of this work is to confirm water quality of the littoral zone of Lake Ohrid at tourist locations during the tourist season 2002. Water quality is presented through following microbiological and chemical parameters: number of psychrophilic and mesophilic heterotrophic bacteria, urolitic bacteria, most probable number of total coliforms (MPN), indicators for fecal pollution (Escherichia coli, Clostridium perfringens), chlorophyll a, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand for five days (BOD5), organic loading and total nitrogen.

In scope of complex physical-chemical and biological examination of water quality of the Bocac lake, the river Vrbas and tributaries Ugar and Crna Rijeka, examinations of phytoplankton and zooplankton were performed during 2002 (March-November). In qualitative structure of phytoplankton 7 division were registered, with 93 taxa from 49 genera in total. In warmer period extreme domination have fire algae (Pyrrophyta). In zooplankton structure (Rotatoria, Cladocera, Copepoda) 78 taxa were registered from 36 genera, with distinct domination of Rotatoria group. According to saprobiological analysis species of olligo- and beta-mesosaprobic character are prevailing.

In this paper investigations of biomass of red head grass Potamogeton perfolitus L. from Lake Ohrid were presented. The material was collected from 2 localities along the Ohrid Lake's coast (Grasnica and Kaneo), where anthropogenic influence is different expressed. The results from the investigations show that there are differences in biomass between investigated localities.

According to the plans, the town of Gacko tends to be water supplied from the water reservoir Vrba located at the river Vrba. About 150 to 200 m away is located ash basin. All ash basin area is oriented to the water reservoir and leaking water going directly to the water reservoir. The leaking water has high pH value, alkalinity, high content of sodium, potassium and sulphates. There are some heavy metals, but their concentrations are not significant. The influence of those contaminated water on the lake water quality is only little evident because of the high dilution rate.

Membrane processes is gaining broad application in potable water treatment. Experience in application of membrane system for treatment of potable water so far showed that these systems have wide range of advantages versus conventional treatment: lower capital costs, lower operation costs, use of chemicals is minimal; space for installation is much smaller, usage of chlorine for disinfection is minimal due to significant reduction of microorganisms; sludge production during the process is smaller due to smaller usage of chemicals, construction period is shorter due to smaller scope of works and relatively simply installation of membrane batteries.

The paper deals with determining the dependence of trihalomethanes forming (chloroform, bromdichlormethane, dibromchlormethane and bromoform) on the contents of natural organic matters from groundwater. The analyses was made bay calculating correlation of trihalomethanes forming potential (THMPF) with UV absorbance and permanganate number as surogates parameters for defining in content NOM in water. These were used to observe the changes in the content of organic matters after coagulation. A good correlation of THMPF, PF chloroform and UV absorbance (254 nm) (coeficient of correlation 0.72 and 0.87) was observed as well as a good with UV absorbance (254 nm) (coeficient of correlation - 0.88) and with PN (coeficient of correlation - 0.80) in coeficient of correlation in bromated trihalomethanes forming.

In this paper is given the comparative review of investigation of the macrophytic vegetation and ichthyofauna in 4 localities (Grasnica, Gradiste, Veli Dab, and Cerava) from the littoral region of the Lake Ohrid. In the investigated localities are evidenced macrophytic species and fish species as bioindicators for saprobility. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that qualitative composition of macrophitic vegetation and ichthyofauna are different and depend from locatities where investigated made.

The paper presents theoretical model of the pollutant density changes in water environment. Spreading of the pollutant is modeled by strong pointed force on the pollution system in the water. This force appears as a strong short term pressure in certain point of the system after which it starts to move in one direction. Results of applying of this model shows that density of the pollution depends on mass of the pollution and the speed of the spreading of the pollutant in the aquatic system. One dimensional result of the pollutant density that is received, i.e. pointed direction of the pollutant stands only in the cases of precisely fixed conditions defined by modeling. For any other values that exceed these values the pollutant density value is equivalent zero value.
