Abstract

The rapid increase of population and industrialization have resulted in the growing pollution of atmosphere and of surface and ground waters. A quantitative and qualitative study of precipitations and ground water in the Petnica karst spring area, western Serbia, is presented in this paper.

Excessive concentrations of nitrate ions in karst ground water was the reason for starting daily measurements in 1991.

More than 2500 samples of precipitation and ground water indicated a positive trend in the nitrate level.
