The Great Bačka Canal is a black spot, as is the Bor river. The Morava river is polluted with nitrogen and phosphorus due to soil leaching, while a large amount of wastewater enters the canals in Vojvodina, so water practically does not flow there, the water expert says. In an interview with the Centre for Investigative Journalism (CINS), Professor Dalmacija said 40% of the population in Serbia does not drink safe drinking water.ĭalmacija: There is water, but there is no quality water because it is pollutedĭalmacija says there is water, but that there is no quality water because it is polluted. Vojvodina has the worst water quality – about 600,000 people there drink water containing harmful arsenic, said Božo Dalmacija from the department of Chemical Technology and Environmental Protection of the Faculty of Sciences in Novi Sad. Belgrade, Niš, and Novi Sad, the biggest cities, do not yet have wastewater treatment systems, so wastewater is directly discharged into rivers. Due to irrational and unsustainable consumption and pollution, the world is threatened by a lack of quality water, primarily drinking water and water for the food industry and irrigation of agricultural land.Ĭurrently, only slightly more than half of the population in Serbia is covered by the sewage network, while less than 10% is covered by some degree of wastewater treatment. Potable water is one of the most precious but also the most endangered resources on the planet. Wastewater in Serbia is mostly not treated but discharged back into rivers where it pollutes and damages the ecosystem, which certainly affects the quality and availability of drinking water. About 40% of Serbia’s residents drink unsafe water, an expert said, while about 600,000 residents of Vojvodina get drinking water with traces of arsenic.
