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

Groundwaters, physical-chemical parameters, three sampling areas
