ASSESSMENT OF WATER QUALITY OF BUKOVEC RESERVOIR USING STATISTICAL METHODS

Water quality is a term used to describe the physical, chemical and biological characteristic of water, generally in terms of suitability for a particular or designated use. The quality of water in river streams is influenced on the one hand by natural factors (climatic, geomorphologic...) and on the other hand by anthropogenic ones. However the most frequent is considering the water quality by the combination of both factors. The paper is aimed on the evaluation of concentrations changes of selected indicators (arsenic and antimony) in the monitored locations as well as the assessment of the relation between arsenic and antimony mutually. The course of pollutants concentrations measured in 5 different river stations considering the place with the higher concentrations appraisal of inorganic pollutants (antimony, arsenic) is presented in this paper.
