Apstrakt

Faktorska analiza/analiza glavnih komponenti (FA/PCA), primenjena na 16 fizičko-hemijskih parametara sa tri različita monitoring mesta (Mojsinje, Korvingrad i Ristovac) reke Južne Morave u 2015. godini i za period od 2011-2018. godine za stanicu Ristovac, je izdvojila dva odnosno četiri varimaks faktora koji objašnjavaju 100,000 i 90,874% ukupne varijanse kvaliteta vode, redom. Veza između stanica i godina dobijena klaster analizom (CA) kategoriše posmatrane objekte prema različitim nivoima kvaliteta. Parametri odgovorni za zagađenje reke Južne Morave odnose se na tačkasti (industrijski/kanalizacioni efluenti), netačkasti (oticanje sa obradivog zemljišta i erozija) i prirodni izvor (mineralna komponenta rečne vode). Rezultati metode indeksa zagađenja vode (WPI) za 2015. godinu pokazali su da reka Južna Morava na stanici Korvingrad predstavlja "umereno zagađeno" vodno telo (klasa III), dok na stanici Mojsinje i Ristovac "zagađeno" vodno telo (klasa IV). Dobijene vrednosti ekološkog potencijala ukazuju da kvalitet vode na stanici Korvingrad odgovara klasi II, "dobar ekološki potencijal". Površinska voda na stanicama Mojsinje i Ristovac odstupa od propisanih ekoloških standarda Okvirne direktive o vodama Evropske unije (EU WFD), klasa III. Reka Južna Morava ima najveće opterećenje nutrijentima (PO4-P i TP) i organskom materijom (TOC) na stanici Ristovac, što je potvrđeno indeksnom i uporednom metodom (zagađena voda sa slabim ekološkim potencijalom) u periodu od 2011-2018. godine. Sveobuhvatnom analizom rada utvrđen je trend smanjenja zagađenja reke Južne Morave, pre svega na stanici Ristovac.
