Assessment of surface and groundwater quality for irrigation purposes in the Danube-Tisa-Danube hydrosystem area (Serbia).

The study evaluates irrigation water quality in the Danube-Tisa-Danube hydrosystem area (Vojvodina, northern Serbia). The area is dominantly a plain with about 75% arable land, suitable for agricultural production and irrigation. Use of water of inadequate quality can have long-term effects on irrigated land and affect the yield of cultivated crops.

The Association between Drinking Water Quality and Inflammatory Bowel Disease-A Study in Eastern Croatia.

The incidence rate of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is becoming a global health problem that could be caused by changes in environmental and lifestyle habits. The study aimed to identify the association between the quality of drinking water, i.e.

Longitudinal distribution of macronutrients in the sediments of Jegricka watercourse in Vojvodina, Serbia.

Sediment matrices, as integral organo-mineral parts of aquatic bodies, can effectively bind and accumulate nutrients and potentially hazardous substances from diffuse and/or point sources of contamination. In this study, we analysed the longitudinal distribution of macronutrients (total N and available P and K) and the mechanical composition of the sediments of Jegricka watercourse (a part of the multi-functional Danube-Tisa-Danube canal network) known for its exposure to anthropogenic loads. The results showed that the nutrient pollution index was mostly above 1.
