Measurements on lake Zavoj for the purpose of water quality management and control

Abstract

Eutrofication represents a serious limiting factor in a various utilization of water from reservoirs. In order to recognize driving processes in a lake 'Zavoj', near Pirot, a comprehensive measurement campaign has been conducted. Obtained profiles of measured papameters were compared to the one obtained in 2003. It is found that there were no significant changes in water quality during 5 years period. Aside the water quality control, provided results are intended to be utilized in development of the hydrodynamic model for simulation of water quality change of the lake.

Eutrofikacija predstavlja jedan od osnovnih problema višenamenskog korišćenja vode iz akumulacija. U cilju praćenja eutrofikacionih procesa u jezeru Zavoj, kod Pirota, sprovedena su obimna merenja parametara kvaliteta vode. Dobijeni profili merenih parametara poređeni su sa istim dobijenim merenjima u toku 2003 godine. Utvrđeno je da nije došlo do značajnih promena kvaliteta vode. Pored kontrole stanja kvaliteta vode, sproveđenja merenja su namenjena i izradi hidrodinamičkog modela za simulaciju promena parametera kvaliteta. .
