In this study the adsorption of As(V), Cu(II) and Zn(II) ions from multi-species model solution was tested in dynamic conditions in sand columns containing a thin layer of bentonite (B), iron-based sludge (IS) and synthetic magnetic particles (MP). Adsorption experiments were performed in order to evaluate the removal efficiency and selectivity of ...

The paper assesses the vulnerability of 27 groundwater bodies in the basin of the river Bosna, ie Spreča, then the river basin of the Drina river (Drinjača), as well as parts of the immediate Sava river basin (Čelić area - Gnjica river and Turija basin) by the GLA method. For each water body, the determination of the effective soil capacity, degree...

Prevention of the surface water quality deterioration as a result of motorway construction or similar anthropogenic activities is certainly a rather more demanding task relating to watercourses with lower flow rates than larger watercourses. The paper presents the impact of part of the Banja Luka - Doboj motorway construction site, notably section ...

Water consumption in a settlement is an extremely variable size that changes constantly over time. Changes in water consumption occur on an annual, monthly, weekly, daily and hourly basis, and depend on many factors such as: climate, season, temperatures, hours of work, consumer habits, etc.Extreme value of consumption, ie. the peak hour flow is de...

Freshwater water resources are not inexhaustible [1]. In recent decades, more and more facts point to this statement from the European Charter for Water. Uncontrolled drinking water interventions, losses in water supply and climate change indicate the problem of sufficient quantities of drinking water [2]. Looking at this problem, it is hard to bel...

Vertical distribution of species and infraspecies taxa of diatoms (Bacillariophyta) on well mosses where they live epiphytically, and a relative number of individuals per surface area unit were followed in 8 open wells with shadoof. Researches were conducted during 2015-2016 through four seasons. Sampling of algae material from well mosses that cov...
