The State of Water in Kosovo, 2010

RaportInterpretation of resultsInterpretation of the state of the Morava e Binçës and Lepenci river sub-basins will bepresented by graphs with annual average values for each parameter for each of the riversof these river basins.The dissolved oxygen (O2 dissolved) - The chart shows the trend of the reduction ofdissolved oxygen values at stations after discharges of urban wastewater collectors. Inthe rivers’ upstream, the waters are clean and rich in oxygen. The decrease of the oxygendownstream the rivr is as a result of the wastewater discharges that contain organicmatters.141210mg/l86420Brezovica Kaçaniku Hani iElezitJezerci Gerlice Kaçaniku Binçe Kllokot Uglare Ajnovc DomorovcLepenci Nerodimja Morava e Binçes Lumi i LakuarViti 2007 Viti 2008 Viti 2009Figure 26: Dissolved oxygen in the Lepenci and Morava e Binçës river basinsThe water of Nerodime and Morava e Binçës, in the last three years resulted with smallquantity of dissolved oxygen. This is as a consequence of urban and industrial wastewaterdischarges without any previous treatment. But, still the minimum threshold of 3 mg/l isnot exceeded.Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5) - In 2007, the lowest BOD5 value is registered inthe Morava e Binçës River (at Binçë) 1.35 mg/l; and the highest value in the NerodimeRiver (at Gërlicë) 15.67 mg/l. In 2008, the minimum values are recorded in the Morava eBinçës River (at Binçë) 1.04 mg/l and maximum annual average values are registered inNerodime River (at Gërlicë) 11.97 mg/l.mg/l181614121086420Brezovica Kaçaniku Hani iElezitJezerci Gerlice Kaçaniku Binçe Kllokot Uglare Ajnovc DomorovcLepenci Nerodimja Morava e Binçes Lumi i LakuarViti 2007 Viti 2008 Viti 2009Figure 27: Biochemical Oxygen Demand in the Lepenci and Morava e Binçës River basins98120 © Agjencia e Kosoves per Mbrojtjen e Mjedisit
