- Title
SELECTED QUALITY INDICTATORS FOR WATER DRAWN FROM A RETENTION RESERVOIR.

- Abstract
The quality raw water drawn from a waterworks retention reservoir was assessed. Water was drawn by the tower intake from three different levels. In order to characterize the extent of eutrofication, the concentrations of phosphates, dissolved oxygen, and chlorophyll a were determined. The water quality coefficients unequivocally showed that water drawn from the reservoir is appropriate for waterworks' purposes. Our one reservation concerned a higher level of chlorophyll a, being characteristic of an algal bloom and a symptom of eutrofication. Level II has been ascertained to be the most suitable as the source for the waterworks (metalimnion).
