ASSESSMENT OF GROUNDWATERS QUALITY WITH DEPTH (8-60 m) in the ARBËRIA NEIGHBOURHOOD OF GJILAN MUNICIPALITY, KOSOVO

Abstract

Abstract: Gjilan is one of the largest cities of the Republic of Kosovo. Groundwaters samples with depth (8-60) m have been taken in this neighborhood called Arbëria, where the samples were taken in three research areas. These groundwaters are used as drinking water and to ascertain that these waters comply with the WHO regulation on chemical physical parameters. Parameters analyzed are: NO₂- N, NO₃- N, NH₃- N,, HCO₃^-, alkaline (A-HCl), carbonic strength (CS), NTU, pH and conductivity in water (CW). The results of this study display the quality of these groundwater based on the WHO regulation.

Keywords
