The State of Water in Kosovo, 2010

RaportInterpretation of resultsTo assess the state of Drini i Bardhe river sub-basins, it is considered the samemethodology by analysing the monitoring (analyses) data from the beginning to the endof water stream. In the rest of this report, an interpretation of Annual Average Values 43(AAV) will be presented as graphs, for each parameter, and each river of the Drini i Bardhebasin.The dissolved oxygen (O2 dissolved) – It consistently stands in considerable values alongthis river course (basin) where the values have varied from 6.55 mg/l to 13.12 mg/l in 2007.The values in 2008 were from 5.8 mg/l to 14.64 mg/L. The year 2009 shows a shift in themaximum value for dissolved oxygen that is 12.69 mg/L16141210mg/l86420BurimZllakuqanRadavcKlineGjonajVermiceSiqeveKlineG.RugovesDalje teqytetitKralanDeçanJasiqUra eterziveVolljakXerxeZhdrellaBuqallPiarnePrevallVllashnjeBurim Drini i Bardhe Klina Lumbardhi iPejesLumbardhi iDeçanitEreniku Mirusha Rimnik Toplluha Lumbardhi IPrizrenitViti 2007 Viti 2008 Viti 2009Figure 5: Dissolved oxygen in the Drini i Bardhë river basinThe biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) – in the measuring station in Vllashnje –Lumëbardhi i Prizrenit, the highest registered values are 6.74 mg/l for 2007, while in2008 the maximum value reaches 7.22 mg/l in Xerxe (Rimnik river). The same situationis registered in 2009.If we compare the annual average values with serial values, the BOD5 is found in muchhigher values.8765mg/l43210BurimZllakuqanRadavcKlineGjonajVermiceSiqeveKlineG.RugovesDalje teqytetitKralanDeçanJasiqUra eterziveVolljakXerxeZhdrellaBuqallPiarnePrevallVllashnjeBurim Drini i Bardhe Klina Lumbardhi iPejesLumbardhi iDeçanitEreniku Mirusha Rimnik Toplluha Lumbardhi IPrizrenitViti 2007 Viti 2008 Viti 2009Figure 6: Biochemical oxygen consumption in the Drini i Bardhë river basinAs for the quality, we can say there is no significant pollution registered by any of themonitoring stations.The Water conductivity – in years 2007, 2008 and 2009 the lowest conductivity values areshowed in the Lumëbardhi i Prizrenit River (at Prevallë) 165 μs/cm, 151 μs/cm and 120 μs/cm,43 AAV – The annual average values are calculated by monthly serial data86120 © Agjencia e Kosoves per Mbrojtjen e Mjedisit
