Monitoring of the water quality of Lake Blidinje and examination of the prognostic model

The largest mountainous lake in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Lake Blidinje, is located 1,185 meters above sea level. Polymictic lakes are those in which the entire water column is frequently mixed. Shallow lakes function very differently than deep lakes in many ways because of the strong sediment– water...

Summary:The largest mountainous lake in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Lake Blidinje, is located 1,185 meters above sea level. Polymictic lakes are those in which the entire water column is frequently mixed. Shallow lakes function very differently than deep lakes in many ways because of the strong sediment– water interaction and the possibility for significant water impact on vegetation. In the multiple regression analysis, two models were developed with coefficients of multiple determination (R = 0.720 and R = 0.497) for the independent variable chlorophyll a. The resulting models are compared with water quality monitoring data from 2017 to 2019.
