seven biggest cities in the Republic of Kosovo. Water supply for this city is
enough for reasons of functioning of two plants of water processing in the city
of Gjilan. One of the biggest plants for water is in Perlepnica village and
another plant with smaller dimension to supply drink water is in Velekica
village. The main issue focuses on the water treatment plant in the
Velekica village because the presence of manganese (Mn <sup>+2 </sup>) as metal
is always present in six underground springs. Quantity of Mn mg /dm <sup>3 </sup>
in groundwaters is out of norms allowed under WHO. The presence of this metal </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial, ’sans-serif’;" xml:lang="en-us"> </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial, ’sans-serif’;" xml:lang="en-us">forces the water industry to use KMnO <sub>4 </sub>
continuously. In the water the present of this metal is from (0.05-0.0015) mg
/dm <sup>3 </sup>during 2017 and January 2018 </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial, ’sans-serif’;" xml:lang="en-us"> </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial, ’sans-serif’;" xml:lang="en-us">and after the manganese processing process is
reduced to (0.11- 0.31) mg /dm <sup>3 </sup>. While in the water treatment plant
in Përlepnica village, there is no problem with heavy metals and the process of
processing continues today without any problems. </span> <br /> </p>}, number={Ek (Suppl.) 1}, publisher={Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy Üniversitesi}
