Abstract
The water samples collected from four localities of the middle course
of the Zapadna Morava River during 2020 were analyzed via the selected physicochemical
parameters with the aim to estimate the quality of surface water. According
to the results of selected physico-chemical parameters (pH, conductivity, dissolved
oxygen, chemical oxygen demand, biochemical oxygen demand), analyzed surface
water show a good chemical status, while the values of nutrient content (nitrate,
nitrite, ammonium ion, total phosphorus) indicated the poor chemical status
especially at the locality 4 probably due to the outflow of wastewater from the city of
Čačak as well as from the influence of the polluted water of the Čemernica River.
