Abstract. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the state of water quality at the hydrological measuring stations based on the calculated SWQI index values, and to draw attention to the current pollution of the South Morava river. The water quality is determined by the Serbia Water Quality Index (SWQI) method using the data set provided by the Hydro-meteorological service of the Republic of Serbia for the year 2009, according to parameters obtained, on average, once a month. Data grouped on a sampling site basis, averaged on a yearly level, resulting in a median SWQI for each sampling station, are employed to obtain a synthesized quality indicator. The final result of such an analysis shows the water quality, expressed by the SWQI index value as the indicator of pollution sources in the South Morava River.
Key Words: water quality, SWQI index, pollution, the South Morava River
IDENTIFIKACIJA IZVORA ZAGAĐENJA REKE JUŽNE MORAVE INDEKSNOM METODOM
Istraživanje u radu obuhvata monitoring kvaliteta površinskih voda, primenom Serbian Water Quality Index (SWQI), kao indikatora uticaja zagađenja. Cilj rada je da se metodom SWQI, oceni stanje kvaliteta vode reke Južne Morave na hidrološkim mernim stanicama, korišćenjem fonda podataka RHMZ Srbije za 2009. godinu, prema odgovajajućim parametrima koji su uzorkovani u proseku jednom mesečno. Sračunata je srednja vrednost SWQI za svako merno mesto na godišnjem nivou i iz medijane uređenog niza indeksa kvaliteta SWQI svih stanica, dobijen sintetizovani indeks kvaliteta. Istraživanje je pokazalo kvalitet vode, izražen preko SWQI indeksne vrednosti, kao indikatora izvora zagađenja reke Južne Morave.
