Estimation of the groundwater quality in the western part of Lipjan (Kosovo)

The study of the effect of anthropogenic activity on the water quality was carried out in the western part of Lipjan (Kosovo). The software “Statistica 6.0” was used for calculations of basic statistical parameters and anomalies (extremes and outliers). The levels of some physicochemical parameters of groundwater are compared with the World Health Organization standards for drinking water. Our results show significant pollution (high values of electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids and consumption of KMnO4) of groundwaters as a result of anthropogenic activity coming from settlements, pollution of small rivers (Vodavoda and Grika) and wastewaters in the surrounding area

Water Quality Assessment of Sitnica River (Kosovo): A Statistical Evolution

Degradation of water quality is very important issue in Kosovo. Discharge of untreated or partially treated industrial and domestic wastewater, leaching of pesticides and residues of fertilizers; and navigation are often factors that affect the quality of water. The aim of this study was to analyze the river water quality of Sitnica. Exact geographic coordinates were measured by GPS and locations were well described. Water samples were collected in 10 sampling points and the following physico-chemical parameters were analyzed
