Abstract


This paper presents the degree of disturbance of the localities on the Nišava River, which are located near Bela Palanka and Niš (after the output of untreated water from city collectors). Quality assessment parameters were macroinvertebrates and microbial indicators of faecal pollution of water. The results show that there is a continuous pollution of the river, especially at the site near Niš, which imposes the need to build a wastewater treatment plant.
