Sitnica River, Physico-chemical Parameters, UV-VIS Spektrophotometry, Anomalies, Pollution assessment, Statistical evolution.Abstract
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:
