Water samples were analysed for the
physicochemical characteristics at each sampling site
and the results are shown in Table 1. The total
phosphorous (Ptot) values in the water samples during
2008 varied between 0.00-2625.5 μg P dm-3 while organic
phosphorous varied between 0.00-1748.8 μg P/dm3
(Table 1). In June, all water samples showed higher
organic than inorganic phosphorus fraction, with the
exception of Ludas 1 and Palic, where inorganic fraction
was 3.57 and 2 fold higher than Porg, respectively. In
October, higher inorganic than organic phosphorus
level was detected in Palic (1.3 fold higher) and in Ludas
2 (1.5 fold higher). The results of microbiological
parameters are presented in Table 3 and Fig. 4. Using
R2A medium, bacterial count varied from 3.11+0.18
CFU/mL (Zobnatica, June) to 4.76+0.14 CFU/mL (Palic,
October). Total coliforms were detected in the majority
of the samples. In June, the highest count was detected
