Indicative ecological status assessment of the Despotovica river
The investigation of the Despotovica River was carried out in April 2017 with the aim to provide an indicative ecological status assessment. Phytobenthos and aquatic macroinvertebrate communities were followed as well as physico-chemical parameters of water. Ecological status assessment is given bas...

| description | The investigation of the Despotovica River was carried out in April 2017 with the aim to provide an indicative ecological status assessment. Phytobenthos and aquatic macroinvertebrate communities were followed as well as physico-chemical parameters of water. Ecological status assessment is given based on biological (epilithic diatoms and macroinvertebrates) and supporting physico-chemical water quality elements, according to the Serbian National regulation on parameters of ecological and chemical status of surface waters and parameters of chemical and quantitative status of ground waters. The ecological status was determined by the worst evaluated water quality element. Based on the analysis of investigated parameters of biological and physico-chemical water quality elements, the indicative ecological status of the Despotovica River could be assessed as bad (class V), which is the result of the river's load of organic and inorganic origin but also of heavy metals. |
