Seasonal variations of the heavy metals contents are very typical with elevated concentrations<br />

during spring-summer that might be explained by corresponding variations of suspended solids<br />

content and other natural processes in water bodies. According to the water quality criteria<br />

maximum allowable concentrations of copper and chromium are 1 mkg per L, and 10 mkg per L<br />

for zinc, lead, and manganese.<br />
